Master fluid abstract techniques with layered acrylics and ink
Acrylic and ink shouldn't just sit on the canvas, they should create surfaces you want to touch. Jodi Ohl demonstrates how combining these two media generates dimensional work with genuine physical presence, from heavily textured passages to delicate linear details that dance across bold color fields. She explores how ink's fluidity and transparency contrast with acrylic's body and opacity, creating visual tension that keeps viewers engaged.
The book moves through quick foundational techniques before progressing to complete demonstrations that show how abstract compositions develop from initial marks to finished pieces. Ohl includes gallery examples alongside specific prompts designed to push techniques in new directions, addressing the common challenge of translating inspiration into actual studio work. You'll find approaches for building texture, creating movement through layering, and using ink to unify or disrupt painted surfaces.
At 144 pages, this paperback format stays open flat on your work table while you're mid-process. Ohl writes from active studio practice rather than pure theory, focusing on methods that work with abstract art's inherent unpredictability. The techniques translate across skill levels, beginners gain structured entry points while experienced painters discover fresh approaches to materials they already use.
