Synopsis

Today's new acrylics have grown into the most adaptable art materials of the modern age. Developments in the pigment industry alone have given acrylics a remarkably permanent and abundant palette.

This dazzling and sophisticated book will inspire and instruct readers on how to handle today's acrylics in innovative and individualistic ways. Learn how to create lush textures, vibrant colors, and sensuous surfaces with acrylic paints and mediums. In addition to traditional techniques such as glazing and staining, The New Acrylics demonstrates fresh applications, including soft sculpture, printing and mosaics. A selection of fine art is featured to provide artists with further creative insight and inspiration.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The acrylics of today have grown into the most adaptable art material of the modern age. Focusing on a popular art medium that has been around for over 50 years, The New Acrylics illustrates how artists can create lush textures, color, and luster with the modern acrylics readily available in any art supply store. These are nontoxic, environmentally sound, and exist in the most dazzling array of chemical formats—from the most fluid to the highly viscous. Not only do artists paint with acrylics these days, they can create rich metallic effects, or even 3-dimensional sculptures.

Traditional technique based books on acrylics cover traditional methods of painting. However, The New Acrylics is geared toward more nonconventional ways in which to manipulate modern-day acrylics, and demonstrates new applications such as glazing, textured effects, soft sculpture effects, or staining, thus reinventing the old way of handling acrylics, and revealing a fabulous new artistic medium.

The underlying theme of this dazzling and sophisticated book is to encourage artists to interpret and handle acrylic paints in a vibrant, fresh, and above all, individualistic style.
