My book Nature in the Abstract started from a stack of notes that I kept in a folder, of class handouts for the acrylic painting classes I instruct. The description for the book is: "inspirations and techniques for painting in acrylic and mixed media; a step-by-step guidebook for recognizing and painting abstracts inspired by nature".
The most eye-opening topics for students in my classes and workshops are the acrylic techniques . . . I hear a lot of "you can do that?!" For painters, knowledge of the techniques gives you the full flexibility of painting with acrylic.
The key to painting with acrylic are the techniques used in softening edges, as the paint can dry very quickly. Have you had the experience that you can recognize an acrylic painting immediately? Or found in painting with acrylic that it can quickly dry on you, that your paintings can have sharp edges and a 'plasticky' quality. It's easy to get beyond this stage, and find the joy! In this book I emphasize techniques in how to achieve both hard and soft edges, painting for depth and richness, and taking advantage of layering.
