I really liked the thorough explanations of techniques in the book. The author provided plenty of step-by-step examples for hobbyists. Might even buy a copy for myself!

With Modern Acrylic, artists, illustrators, art students, and art hobbyists can learn how to use basic painting techniques and concepts to create expressive works of art. You'll learn to paint flowers, animals, patterns, and even how to transfer your hand-lettering skills to paint. This guide offers a lively and creative approach to acrylic paint packed with inspiring exercises and whimsical projects. Foremost a beginner’s guide, Modern Acrylic starts with a brief introduction to the tools you’ll need and continues with explanations of key painting concepts like color mixing and atmospheric perspective. Once you have a handle on the basics, it’s time to create dynamic color palettes, use basic shapes and techniques to render a range of subjects, and practice mark making and textures.

Modern Acrylic is an inspiring and accessible guide to painting everything from expressive landscapes to colorful architectural gems.

This was an easy to follow, step by step book. I liked how it went through everything you would need to know to start painting. Right away when I started this book it made me want to grab a canvas and paints and just dive right in! I've never been great at painting but it's always been a hobby of mine. Any book that can help me better my art, I want to read. I'm so glad I got to read this one! The pictures were a nice bonus as well. I loved that the beginning of each chapter the background was a canvas. If you're interested in either just starting to learn how to paint or sharping your skills, I would suggest this book as a guide!

This is a great book on anyone starting out with acrylic painting, it starts with very basic but much needed information for any painter.
The rest of the book show examples and tutorial on how to paint various subject matter, including coastal, plants, abstract, scenery with perspective and still life to name a few. Each technique builds on the skill set of the painter. The think it is a great beginners book, but then again everyone can get something out of it.
