About this item

101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic features step-by-step instructions for mastering a variety of the most common surfaces - sand, water, metals, foliage, wood, bark, fabrics, stone, grass, and many more - in oil and acrylic paint. Each page features two similar textures for readers to paint using the easy-to-follow steps. Half the battle of achieving precise, realistic results in oil and acrylic painting comes down to one's ability to accurately render surfaces and textures - a challenging feat for even experienced artists. Although many art instruction books focus on learning to paint specific subjects, many fall short when it comes to offering instruction on techniques that help one capture textures adequately. In 101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic, experienced and talented artist Mia Tavonatti provides artists with the essential skills required to render realistic surfaces in oil and acrylic.
