The New Acrylics Watson-Guptill
Focusing on a popular art medium that has been around for over 50 years, The New Acrylics illustrates how artists can create lush textures, color and luster with the modern acrylics readily available in any art supply store. Traditional technique-based books on acrylics cover traditional methods of painting.
