YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT AC RYLIC S, RIGHT?
Colorful, cheap and what you used in art class. The kind of thing you had at school. A sort of lesser cousin to oil paint?

Acrylics are one of the most versatile and powerful mediums. They can be mixed with water to make color washes, or used in opaque layers like oils.
In this book, you'll discover techniques that will allow you to work with acrylics in entirely new and exciting ways: creating stencils and stickers, weaving and piping acrylics, creating texture with improvised tools, dripping, smudging and blending, and working with fluorescent paints.
