Creative Acrylic Techniques

An easy-to-follow, step by step guide to creating wonderful acrylic paintings. Acrylic paints are versatile and unique. They are easy to work with, adhere to a variety of surfaces and they have enormous potential if used to their fullest extent. Wendy Jelbert explores this medium, showing how to create a whole range of effects, from creating beautiful blended washes and patterns to using impasto and textured techniques. Using over sixty step-by-step photographs, she demonstrates how to paint flowers, landscapes, seascapes, and more. Both beginners and artists with some experience will find this a valuable and inspirational guide.

Wendy Jelbert studied sculpture, abstract art, pottery and printmaking at Southampton College of Art. She is a teacher and professional artist who works in pastels, oils, acrylics, inks and watercolours. She enjoys experimenting with different ways of using mixed media and texture and her sometimes unconventional methods often produce surprising and original results. She lives near Andover in Hampshire, and has three children, two of whom are professional painters. Galleries in Southampton, London, Brighton, Cornwall and Oxford regularly exhibit her work, and she has had a number of articles published in the Leisure Painter magazine. Wendy has written nine art books and has also made three videos - on mixed media, painting gardens and line and wash.
