Start Art Magazine Acrylics 2024 Edizione posteriore

From buying your first set of colours, to producing fit-for-the-wall paintings, StartArt Acrylics – both in print and on video – supports you all the way.

From the essential materials you’ll need, and how to handle and mix the colours, to painting your first landscapes, Barry Herniman has it covered. Learn step by step how to apply colour to achieve a range of effects for painting a sunny tree-lined lane, a snow-laden landscape and a mountain scene. Go on to learn how to arrange, light and paint successful still lifes with Julie King, where you’ll learn to capture different textures in paint, from flowers in a glass vase, to fruit in a glass bowl with a ceramic jar. Tim Fisher takes you through the painting of two flowers, one using a painting knife and one, traditional brushes. And finally, Ros Ingram demonstrates how to paint modern children’s portraits, with an emphasis on finding effective skin tones then offers lessons in brushstroke dexterity to paint a fluffy cat and a beloved pet dog. Enjoy your journey with acrylics.
