What Customers Say About Acrylic Revolution: New Tricks and Techniques for Working with the World's Most Versatile Medium:

It also has great information for the expert painter/artist as well. Being a beginner myself I am so glad I bought it. There are so many details in this book. It is so comprehensive from how to set up your painting station - for efficiency - to many styles of painting.

It opens up new possibilities for an exciting medium, and I found it to be an interesting book. This is a great reference book for artists who enjoy working with acrylics.

There are tons of ideas that get a person thinking outside of the box, making it nice for someone stuck in a rut in the acrylic painting world. I bought this book for my sister for Christmas. Two thumbs way up. The material is current and overall a great value. She had mentioned an interest in acrylic painting, so I decided to buy her an inspirational and tutorial for beginners. A few nice things about this specific book was that it is spiral bound with a hard cover, making it great to use in the midst of working on a piece.

5 stars I truly recommend this to anyone like me who's maybe been outta the painting game for a while and wants to discover a whole new world of acrylic and mediums, and gels and pastes and so on. I've had this book for almost a month now and have done 1/3 of all the projects. Some turned out great and some not so great, but I can't wait to try it again.

If I can use something around the house rather than take a trip to the art store, I'm all for it. I'm a beginner and I don't need professional level supplies. Or cutting up an old milk carton or detergent bottle for a palette made out of HDPE plastic.

It is full of different things you can do with acrylics. The only thing I wish it would do (and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars) is suggest substitutions for some of the supplies. I really like this book.

Like using regular latex paint or primer instead of gesso. It would have been awesome of those kinds of things were included in this book. The pictures are well done, the how-tos are perfect and it is inspiring.

Its one of my favorite books to just page through.
