In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his techniques for the first time - making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of vivid colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising - yet often simple - ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46905575407765,"sku":"9781849947763","price":47.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781849947763.jpg?v=1776890065","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781849947763","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
