Painting atmospheric acrylics - John Hammond

The new paperback version of John Hammond and Robin Capon's incredibly popular 'Free Expression in Acrylics' (97800713490435)!

It is not enough to learn just the techniques but to understand how to choose the right technique to express what you feel or how to interpret what you see. It is also important to paint the right element of what you see to give real impact. Using your instinct to simplify and exaggerate, the book shows you how to have freedom of expression with a paintbrush.

One of the key elements of the book is the ''picture analysis' at the end of each chapter. A single painting is
dissected to highlight - in summary - all the major points made within that chapter. Richly illustrated throughout with finished paintings, close-up details and step-by-step instructions.

Robin Capon was an experienced author and art journalist.

He was a regular contributor to The Artist and Leisure Painter.
