In \u003cem\u003eExperimental Nature in Acrylics\u003c\/em\u003e, he reveals his techniques for the first time—making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative, and full of vivid colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising—yet often simple—ways. Readers will learn how to distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers, or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and use abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering, and splattering the paint. It shows how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction, and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076594450668,"sku":"9781849947763","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18119293482846.jpg?v=1765208278","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/experimental-nature-in-acrylics-by-paul-bailey-9781849947763","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
