- I really love this book and wish I had ordered it 3 years ago when I got into acrylic painting as opposed to oils. I'm being Formally trained in college by professors whom I found to have little if any knowledge of acrylic paints and how to paint with it! They prefer oils it seems.This book tells you things like how to make a stay wet palette , one you can travel with outside and avoid drying out.. Things like what to do if mold gets in your paints rather than throw it out! Also how to use different acrylic paints with each other, for example ,the acrylics you use to paint on wood or glass acrylic can be used with the regular acrylic paint on your wood panel paintings. Seems obvious but I never thought of it. Thought it wouldn't blend right. A lot more included like how to mix flesh tones different with acrylics as opposed to oils. It is just a bit different and I could never get acrylic paint mixed right like I could the oils. I recommend this book to all acrylic painters new to it or done it for years. This author has painted in acrylics for 40 years I believe it says and she knows a lot of very useful info. I have a lot of books about acrylics but I know if I had bought this one first I wouldn't have needed all of those other books . Get this book and learn it all in one book! I highly recommend it!
- This is a great book, however it was previously published by Reader's Digest under the title "Acrylic Secrets" 300 Tips and Techniques For Painting the Easy Way" by Gill Barron. I hate when they re-release a book under a new title and don't mention it. I buy a lot of books and don't always read them right away and I've been known to make the mistake of buying a book twice because it has another name from the original and I didn't recognize the pictures in it, especially if it is an older book. Be aware...the Compendium of Watercolor Painting Techniques now for sale is also a re-release with the title "Watercolor Secrets" published by Reader's Digest. I just wish these publishers would be a little more open about the books that they publish when they've already been on the market for years and aren't new books at all. Once in a blue moon they might note that on the publishers info page, but not always. Very annoying.
- Now into my forth month learning to paint, This book was my first one on "How To" and I made a gem of a choice. This little book has so many tips and suggestions that I incorporated as soon as i read about them that I am having a great time painting with knowledge now after such a short time invested. From materials needed to tips on form, colors, well, anything to do with painting. You will not go wrong with this manual on about everything on acrylic painting.
- The 300 tips were very informative and Inovative . The instructions for handling spicific details with regard to facial detailing was very helpful. I would recommend this book to all artists alike. It is a welcome addition to my art library.
- Takes the place of several instructional books. Is Great!
- Great book for someone who is just learning all about these painting techniques and I think they can be used for different mediums, too, at least for the great ideas in the book. I'm ordering one for my friend!
- I recently took up acrylic painting, and this book is all I needed to get going. Great starter book, and I'm sure very useful to more seasoned artists. Concise, lots of tips, lots of useful illustrations. Excellent. Thank you Gill Barron!
- While browsing online through some art collections and current exhibits in London museums and public galleries, I clicked on "" in each site just to see what was available - I was mostly interested in books on collections and exhibits that included discussions of the artists' techniques and materials. For one of the large public galleries, this was the only acrylic techniques book listed for that store. So, I dropped in here to and read all the reviews. Then, I went elsewhere on the www and read more reviews. Then, I came back to and bought it. Over the last few months, I have consulted it as often, if not more often, than the other handful (i.e., less than six) technique books I keep handy while painting.
If you are like me and don't want to take the time to experiment to achieve a particular effect when painting (or also like me don't have a long attention span so don't always remember what I'm doing), this book should be added to your reference library.
