These nontoxic chemical inventions, on the market for some 50 years, comprise more than 60 percent of all artists&#8217; paints sold in North America today. Technical in its approach, half the book describes the chemical components, attributes, production methods, and grades, moving on to a basic primer that lists materials and equipment. Tauchid then progresses to basic applications, which include glazing, underpainting, and staining, and goes on to discuss barrier-breaking alternative approaches (stained glass, acrylic transfer, even soft sculpture), complete with demonstrations. A variety of artists&#8217; work in eye-popping color and a wide range of styles amply illustrate this well-indexed resource.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Painting-Acrylics-Indispensable-Lorena-Kloosterboer\/dp\/1770854088\/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1471213174&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=acrylic+painting+techniques\"> Painting in Acrylics: The Indispensable Guide by <span class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\">Lorena Kloosterboer<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Painting-Acrylics-Indispensable-Lorena-Kloosterboer\/dp\/1770854088\/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1471213174&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=acrylic+painting+techniques\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-270 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/acrylics-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"Two Amazing Acrylics Guides\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/acrylics-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/acrylics.jpg 423w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 254px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 254\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Painting in Acrylics: The Indispensable Guide<\/i> provides comprehensive guidance for painters of all experience.
