Have you ever walked into an art supply store; stood in front of the amazing array of acrylic products and just thrown up your hands in confusion; leaving the store without buying something new to experiment with? If youve ever wondered what to do with all those products; then this book is for you. If youve been using acrylic in traditional painting forms; in this book youll find grand; wild and inventive manipulations of acrylic that will get your creative juices flowing. Compared to more traditional art mediums such as oil and watercolor; acrylic is still in its infancy. But what it lacks in years; it makes up for in its range of use. Acrylics appeared on the market for artists in the late 1940s as a quick-drying alternative to oil paint. In its early manifestations; it dried so quickly that more than a few brushes stuck immediately to the canvas! Although acrylic has been around for more than fifty years; incredible advances continue to be made in the research and development of acrylic polymers and pigments. These advancements are attributable not only to the efforts of a few dedicated chemists; but also to the work of an entire community devoted to acrylic. There are a lot of brilliant minds taking these minute molecules very seriously.
