Pretty decent book for beginners This was one of the first books I bought when I just started acrylic painting. This book introduces the reader to different brushes, textures, effects,etc. I actually did many of the exercises from this book and they came out pretty good. I enjoyed doing the exercises because a lot of the exercises were easy and precision wasn't really required, which let me just work on the basics of things (shadows,etc.) I definately wouldn't call this a complete course, but it might be a complete course of the basics of acrylic painting (to get you started). I would recommend this book if you're just starting acrylic painting and want a book that's fairly easy to do the exercises for. | ||
NOT A COMPLETE COURSE! Please don't name your book a complete course in 10 lessons if it is not. Only for beginners and remember not a complete course. Only if you don't know anything about painting, it gives very basic knowlege and it should say that is what it does. | ||
Hate to be a party-pooper but........ I ordered this book through a magazine thinking it would have good step by step instructions. Thank goodness I didn't pay much for it. The acrylic exersizes are all done in a messy watercolor-like style. It looks like something my 2 year old could do. I gave my copy to the goodwill (that was before I discovered reselling online...of course, I wouldn't wish this book on anyone). | ||
great beginner's book This is the best book on beginning acrylic painting that I have run across so far. I've found the exercises challenging but not too difficult. The 10 lessons seem to give the beginner a good grounding in basic concepts of color selection, composition, building the painting, and special techniques. I would highly recommend this book to someone who is interested to beginning to paint but does not have time to take lessons. | ||
