The Art Of Painting In Acrylic

Have you seen this book in your local art supply store or at Barnes & Nobel?  Do you have a copy? You may or may not know that I’m one of the six artists featured in it. My four paintings are all Maui scenes. The painting on the upper right of the cover is one of them. My paintings start on page 48 in the "Landscape & Seascape chapter.


For today’s blog post I want to share with you the “introduction” and “tools and materials” pages. There is a lot of great information on these three pages you might fine useful. Especially if you are new to acrylic painting. Acrylics are the most versatile paint medium, there are so many ways to use it. 

  "Unlike other mediums, it's almost impossible to make a mistake with acrylics that can't be fixed. If there's an area that needs to be reworked, simply paint over it."

​This quote from the "Introduction" is spot on and I couldn't agree more. Knowing that you can fix or paint over a mistake helps to take away the fear and frustration of learning to paint. 

If you already have the book and have questions regarding my step-by-step process send me an email, I'll be happy to help. 

​If you haven't bought the book yet consider purchasing a signed copy directly from me. Email me for details.
