Master acrylic fundamentals through guided projects that build confidence
Material selection that makes sense, paint handling that produces clean color, and techniques that build logically from simple to complex.
The progression moves deliberately through essential skills. You'll practice skies first, gradients and color mixing without the pressure of perfect details. Then trees, mountains, and waterscapes, each project introducing new challenges while reinforcing what you've already learned. Gertsch breaks down every exercise with large step-by-step images that show exactly what your brush should be doing at each stage, not just the finished result.
This isn't theory divorced from practice. The book demonstrates how paper choice affects your results, which brushes handle which tasks, and how basic techniques combine into finished paintings. Projects start simple enough to build confidence, then layer complexity as your control develops. The 8.5x11 format provides enough space for clear demonstration images while remaining manageable at your easel. For artists ready to move beyond watching and start actually painting with acrylics, this guide removes the guesswork from those crucial first sessions.
