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.
