And published essays about art
“This is a splendid, detailed,
intelligent, helpful, and beautiful book. …the joys of this book are not merely
those of layout or design--this is a masterfully complete resource for working
with acrylics.”
“… the author includes much more than
her own magnificent art work. She also includes examples from the works of one
hundred other accomplished acrylic painters, many of whom embody techniques and
styles much different from the author’s own.”
“What I appreciate most about this
book is that it covers even the most basic and simple concepts and does not
make any assumptions about the skill or experience levels of the reader.
Someone with no knowledge of acrylic paints can pick up this book and learn
something. And, everything is presented in terms that are not insulting or
condescending to the beginner but not beneath the experienced artist either.
The author did an excellent job of writing to her audience.”
“First off I should say that this
book is absolutely gorgeous. It is packed full of full-color photographs and
illustrations, not just of completed or partial paintings but also charts,
photographs of supplies and studios and so much more. Aside from being an
instructional manual on painting with acrylic paint it makes a beautiful coffee
table book.”
“This colorful book is very generous
with artwork examples of various artists and general pictures of various
supplies and techniques. I mean this author tells you how to select and use all
supplies. It is truly a pleasure to read and time zooms by as you are doing
so.”
“The author shows a marked preference
for using realism and hyper-realism for her topic illustrations, a choice which
reflects her own background as a celebrated artist in several media. Her
credentials and experience enlighten but do not get in the way of the topics
presented. That part, perhaps, should be a given, but ‘Paining in Acrylics’
takes a meticulous, scholarly approach.”
“The title says this book is an
indispensable guide to painting in acrylics and I tend to agree. A wonderful
compendium of information and techniques for beginning to advanced acrylic
artists.”
“It is clear, concise and beautifully
put together with a wealth of information for all levels of artists. Though
directed at painting with Acrylics, there are many tidbits that can be applied
for artists using other mediums as well. This book will be a must have for my
students and will be highly recommended to other artists.”
“This book is a simply amazing
depository of acrylic painting technics.”
“I couldn't recommend an art text
book more strongly, if you are interested in learning and mastering acrylic
painting, especially if you want to achieve photorealistic effects. If you've
never painted before, the book can help you, and if you went to art school, the
book can also help you. Even if you have no interest in painting yourself, but
only want to discover how it’s done, here you go.”
“This is book is an investment that
the serious painter should definitely make. No matter how good you are, you'll
still find something new in this book. The color in the book is gorgeous and
there are many inspirational examples of gorgeous effects that can be achieved
by understanding the nuances of working with the unique properties of
acrylics.”
“I've purchased so many art books
throughout my life and I can honestly say that this is my favorite!! Without a
doubt it is the most comprehensive book I've ever seen on art instruction of
any medium. The instructions are clear and easy to follow for someone that is
new to acrylics yet it offers so much for a seasoned artist as well. It's a
book that you will refer to many times. I love that the artist shows examples
of artists and styles of art not just her own beautiful art. I can't remember
being this excited about a book in a while and I'm sure others will find this
book as valuable and beautiful as I do!”
“I'm not new to painting, in fact
I've been at it for 30 years - I usually paint in oils, but I wanted to try to
learn about the acrylic medium which, of course, uses far less harmful
substances than those which I use during the process of oil painting. Firstly,
I love it!!! - I will be buying this as a gift for fellow artist mates and
complete novices alike - it will be invaluable. I am learning so much more from
this book than I ever learnt from when I was at art college. Secondly, I will
have greater confidence in producing all artwork, underpinning and enhancing
the knowledge I already had. Also, the book has a perfect mix of text and
pictures and let's face it, us artists love pictures!”
