Next - North Light Acrylics - The Watercolor Alternative Acrylics - The Watercolor Alternative - At the heart of this book, 10 step-by-step painting demonstrations invite you to explore a wide variety of subject matter, from the earthy colors of mesas to the glass-like quality of porcelain figurines. With a wonderful assortment of textures, moods and levels of difficulty, these projects show you how to use transparent washes and opaque accents to capture a variety of subjects: foliage, rocks, and other natural forms and textures; the brilliance of color and light; the reflective nature of water and other translucent and reflective objects; and architecture and other intricately detailed subjects. You will also experience the versatility of acrylics by painting on a number of different supports including watercolor paper, canvas and gesso-primed panels; and because mistakes can be corrected when using acrylics, you will learn ways in which you can turn an otherwise failed painting into a keeper.
