Acrylic Painting Mediums and Methods: A Contemporary Guide to Materials, Techniques, and Applications

This new, sophisticated, comprehensive reference book will inspire and instruct painters on how to handle today's acrylics in innovative and individualistic ways.

Acrylics have grown into the most adaptable art material for the modern age. Developments in the pigment industry have given acrylics a remarkably permanent, rich, and abundant palette, making it the favorite medium of many contemporary artists. As colors are being developed, their chemical components are also enhanced for better texture and handling.

Art-supplies vendors now offer acrylic mediums for thinning, thickening, glazing, molding, pouring, texturing, and dozens of other uses. Even experienced acrylic painters can be confusedâ€”even intimidatedâ€”by this staggering diversity of products. Painter and art materials expert RhÃ©ni Tauchid simplifies this daunting subject, clearly explaining each type of medium and suggesting ways it can enhance your painting practice. Over twenty step-by-step demonstrations teach you how to apply mediums to create vibrant colors, sensuous surfaces, and striking visual effects. Hundreds of beautiful photos illustrate mediumsâ€™ almost limitless potential and show you how other artistsâ€”both abstract and realistâ€”are employing mediums to push their art in new creative directions. The first book of its kind, this essential reference belongs on every acrylic painterâ€™s shelf.
