With this celebration of luminosity and color, artists can see how to use acrylics to catch light, capture mood, and build atmosphere. The inspiration and instructions come from John Hammond, one of the most successful painters in acrylics today. He uses more than 100 of his own paintingssome shown in various stagesto illustrate and explain the techniques and reveal the many possibilities of this flexible and increasingly popular medium. As well as presenting an overview of materials and methods specific to acrylics, Hammond addresses issues of composition, color, and texture; deals with working on location; and discusses a wide variety of themes, including "Water, Boats and Beaches," "City Views," "Mediterranean Light," and "Figures in Light and Shade."

Hardback. An important book that gives artists the best advice on freely expressing themselves in acrylics. It is not enough to learn just the techniques but to understand how to choose the right technique to express what you feel or how to interpret what you see. It is also important to paint the right element of what you see to give real impact. Using your instinct to simplify and exaggerate, the book shows you how to have freedom of expression with a paintbrush. Leading acrylics painter John Hammond focuses on an increasingly popular medium which has terrific potential to deliver images with impact. One of the key elements of the book is the "picture analysis" at the end of each chapter. A single painting is dissected to highlight -- in summary -- all the major points made within that chapter. Richly illustrated throughout with finished paintings, close-up details and step-by-step instructions, the book covers: 1: Starting Points: inspiration * a visual language * travel * scope and variety 2: Reference material: working on site * sketches and drawings * photographs * plein-air paintings 3: Design: instinct and discovery * essential elements * colour and design 4: Painterly qualities: colour * translucency and opacity * texture 5: Interpretation: personal response * simplification and exaggeration * a sense of place 6: Creating impact: balance and contrast * the whole picture * resolving objectives. 2008, First edition, first printing. A near fine copy only marked by very light rubbing at the spine ends. The d/w is fine and now in a protective cover. Scans available if required.
