Learn Acrylics Quickly (Learn Quickly)

Excellent brief and colorful introduction to acrylic painting.

I bought this book based on the reviews, and multiple readers noting that it is a “must have”. I am annoyed. The book is small..like a children’s book. It is perfectly delightful. The artist is clearly masterful. The book is thoughtfully composed, and beautiful. Being an absolute beginner myself, I appreciated the survey of equipment and techniques, BUT…I don’t feel this book set me up to start painting. I needed something more elementary… something that showed me step by step how to create a painting. I preferred another book by Mark Daniel Nelson “Learn to paint in acrylics in 50 small paintings”. In short, terrific book, but don’t feel compelled to buy it simply because everyone thinks it’s a must have :).

Very nice book! Lots of good info and pretty illustrations!

Read it quickly and there wasn't much to it..

This is well illustrated and colourful, with lots of ideas. I would recommend this for beginners and those with a little experience.

Very helpful book for a beginner painter.

Another great addition to the art world - I will follow all her presentations.

I’m thinking of getting some acrylic painting done, with very limited prior experience. This book has provided a very useful starting point. Not always as detailed as it might have been, but It does encourage the need to experiment and develop a personal style. Some links to recommended supplies company’s would have been useful, or an accompanying pre boxed set of suggested starter colours, sold in conjunction with the book. That said a suggestion of key colours is contained within the text.

Gift for painter and she loved it
