101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic features step-by-step instructions for
mastering a variety of the most common surfaces--sand, water, metals,
foliage, wood, bark, fabrics, stone, grass, and many more--in oil and
acrylic paint. Each page features two similar textures for readers to
paint using the easy-to-follow steps.
Half the battle of achieving precise, realistic results in oil and
acrylic painting comes down to one's ability to accurately render
surfaces and textures--a challenging feat for even experienced artists.
Although many art instruction books focus on learning to paint specific
subjects, many fall short when it comes to offering instruction on
techniques that help one capture textures adequately.
In 101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic, experienced and talented artist Mia
Tavonatti provides artists with the essential skills required to
render realistic surfaces in oil and acrylic. Artists will discover
tips and tricks for working with both mediums, as well as a variety
of techniques, including blending, layering, working with oil
and acrylic mediums, creating an underpainting, and more. In
addition to valuable step-by-step instructions, general color
recommendations offer a quick start guide. This helpful guide includes
an index for fast and easy reference, while a short gallery at the end
of the book represents various textures in finished works of art.
With its broad range of coverage, easy-to-follow instruction, and
helpful tips, 101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic is a must-have art
instruction book for artists of all skill levels, sure to be referenced
time and again.
