Description

Acrylic Basics is the perfect resource for aspiring artists looking to learn how to paint with acrylics. This book includes engaging lessons and useful artist tips that will get beginners started in painting from home or on their own time, as well as practical information about selecting paints & brushes along with basic techniques like texture drawing which can be applied across any type of medium!

With projects ranging from landscapes filled with vivid colors to sweeping vistas, there's something here sure fits what you're hoping to find when searching out new ways to create beautiful artistry without ever leaving your house.

Color mixing recipes are a great way to get started with acrylic painting. By following a simple recipe, you can create a variety of different colors that can be used to create different effects.

For example, by mixing two parts white with one part yellow, you can create a light lemon color. To add depth and texture to your painting, try adding a third color to the mix. By adding a touch of black paint, you can create a deep yellow that can be used to suggest shadows.

Similarly, by adding a touch of white paint, you can create a pale lemon color that can be used to suggest highlights. As you experiment with different color mixing recipes, you will develop a better understanding of how colors work together to create different effects.
