You can paint acrylics - Melanie Cambridge

A new title in the Collins You Can Paint series of painting books for absolute beginners. Written by professional artist-teachers, these books start with real basics and assume no knowledge or experience of painting whatsoever.

Full of easy-to-follow exercises and demonstrations, the Collins You Can Paint series will give even the most hesitant of beginners the enthusiasm and confidence to start painting in acrylics.

All the instruction is broken down into really easy step-by-step exercises to help you to practise and build up your knowledge and expertise of painting gradually.

Melanie Cambridge takes the reader by the hand and shows, with simple staged exercises, exactly how to paint all the separate features of a picture one-by-one. For example, you learn how to paint trees, skies, flowers, people and animals so that by the end of the book you'll be able to produce an acrylic painting that you can be proud of.
