This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Acrylic Techniques: A Unique A-Z Directory of Acrylic Techniques with Step-by-Step Guidance on Their Use (Paperback)
I havebeen panting with Acrylics for many years, having switched from oils because ofthe chemicals. This book provides information about all techniques in theuse of Acrylics in a very clear, understandable manner. It has proved tobe a great help to my painting efforts. I recently painted a 'Superman' for my great-grandaughter using information about glazing from the book. I would recomend it toall acrylic painters.

This book had a lot of good reviews so I bought it thinking it might demonstrate good methods of acrylic painting. It does show some techniques but not with enough detail. Given the chance again I would not buy this book.
