Product Overview

Experience the look and feel of watercolor... without the limits!

You never imagined acrylics could appear this translucent, this fluid - this much like watercolor! Acrylics: The Watercolor Alternative shows how you can capture the versatility and the permanence of acrylics with the aesthetic beauty of transparent watercolor.

Through 9 basic technique exercises and 10 step-by-step demonstrations, watermedia expert Charles Harrington introduces you to the perfect alternative to watercolor for beautiful, easier transparent painting. With his simple acrylic techniques, you can:

  • attractively combine transparent, translucent and opaque passages within a single painting
  • reduce the risk of muddy color when applying multiple glazes
  • easily rework failed areas
  • experiment on a variety of different surfaces

With Acrylics: The Watercolor Alternative, discover how to take advantage of the flexible, forgiving nature of acrylics for surprisingly watercolor-like results. Whether you are an acrylic painter who's after the luminous effects of watercolor or a watercolorist seeking the same with fewer hassles, this is the book for you!
