Un-limit your thinking about acrylic painting

Stephen Quiller is a consummate water media artist. This is a useful book if you're new to acrylics or need to break out of a rut. It's a good introduction to the basics of creating a noteworthy painting, and touches on several concepts such as negative painting, that aren't usually included in overview books. If you tend to be conservative in your approach, or your paintings lack drama or impact, spending some time staring at the pictures could help you shake off your constraints a little. And if you're wondering what to do with your watercolors and gouaches now that you have acrylics, guess what--you can combine them to create luminosity and textures not possible with just one of them.
