Acrylic Artists Bible Acrylic Artist's Bible by Marilyn Scott. The Essential Reference for the Practicing Artist. Professional artist Marylin Scott presents the complete manual for acrylic painting with over one hundred step-by-step demonstrations showing how to tackle tricky subjects from skies and water to faces and figures accompanied by full-colour photography. Even though acrylic is used by many well-known professional artists it is rather less popular with amateurs.

You can paint out mistakes as you work even making major changes to the colour scheme and composition. Each new painting can become a springboard for ideas and the range of different effects are vast. 192-page paperback. A lovely gift for yourself or the Artist in your life. Author: Marilyn Scott
