Synopsis

Acrylic paints are unique. They are easy to work with, adhere to a variety of surfaces and they have enormous potential if used to their fullest extent. They can be used like watercolours, oils and acrylics - or techniques can be combined to create stunning effects and beautiful paintings. Using blended washes, impasto and textured techniques Carole Massey explores this versatile medium, showing how to create many different vibrant flower paintings. Both beginners and artists with some experience will find this a valuable and inspirational guide.
