Book Description

Unlock fresh creative energy with experimental acrylic and mixed media techniques from artist and TV presenter Jenny Muncaster a playful, practical painting guide for beginners and improvers.

With the same wide-ranging, irreverent and unabashedly experimental approach to art that she shows in Amazon TV’s The Artist in You, Jenny Muncaster demonstrates the magic of acrylic paints in this, her first book! Discover:

  • An exploration of versatile acrylics: acrylic paints are available in different kinds, each with its own unique character, consistency and techniques. This book explores how each one behaves, and how they can be used on their own or combined for more dynamic, exciting results.
  • Wide-ranging mixed media techniques: Jenny explains how to incorporate additional media into acrylic work, with pens, texture paste, collage, mirror foil and gold leaf, and demonstrates printing, painting with feathers, using a palette knife, spattering and sponging to create some truly exciting results.
  • Contemporary exercises, projects and artistic tips: 8 fun, hands-on projects are included, with lots of exciting ‘wow!’ moments and varied styles explored throughout from impasto textures to incorporating a bit of bling.
  • A behind-the-scenes peek into a paint factory: Discover how acrylic paints are made at the factory of world-renowned art company, Daler-Rowney.
  • A collection of Jenny’s inspiring finished works: Jenny shares her techniques and ideas by picking out details from her inspiring art for the reader to you in their own creative work.

This exciting and experimental book is perfect for those looking to bring a little more joy, colour and playfulness into their acrylic painting.
