A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is one of the ground-breaking books on acrylics - new in paperback. Acrylics is now a very popular medium with artists of all abilities, especially with the advent of new and better acrylic paints. "Capturing Light in Acrylics" (hb 07134 8863 8) was and still is one of the best books on the subject. John Hammond, a highly successful practising artist, shares his experiences and knowledge of this incredibly adaptable medium and offers helpful advice, instruction and inspiration. Particular attention is paid to the skilful interpretation of light to convey the mood and atmosphere of a place. The section on Practical Considerations includes details on materials, equipment, and colour mixing; the section Interpreting Light reveals the secrets behind light and tone, shadows, changing light and weather conditions; Subjects and Inspiration sections cover choosing subjects, composition, on location, landscapes, city views, boats and beaches, Mediterranean light and figures; and Developing Ideas detail working with sketches and photographs and studio painting. Practical explanatory text and inspirational illustrations combine to make this a valuable addition to any artist's bookshelf.
