Acrylics have grown into the most adaptable art material for the modern age. Developments in the pigment industry have given acrylics a remarkably permanent, rich, and abundant palette, making it the favorite medium of many contemporary artists. As colors are being developed, their chemical components are also enhanced for better texture and handling. Art-supplies vendors now offer acrylic mediums for thinning, thickening, glazing, molding, pouring, texturing, and dozens of other uses. Even experienced acrylic painters can be confused - even intimidated - by this staggering diversity of products. Painter and art materials expert Rhéni Tauchid simplifies this daunting subject, clearly explaining each type of medium and suggesting ways it can enhance your painting practice. Over twenty step-by-step demonstrations teach you how to apply mediums to create vibrant colors, sensuous surfaces, and striking visual effects. Hundreds of beautiful photos illustrate mediums’ almost limitless potential and show you how other artists - both abstract and realist - are employing mediums to push their art in new creative directions. The first book of its kind, this essential reference belongs on every acrylic painter’s shelf. Includes the Work of Contemporary Masters: Nick Bantock, Diane Black, Bruno Capolongo, Pauline Conley, Marc Courtemanche, Marie-Claude Delcourt, Claire Desjardins, Marion Fischer, Heather Haynes, Lorena Kloosterboer, Suzy Lamont, Marie Lannoo, Connie Morris, Barry Oretsky, Lori Richards, Hester Simpson, Ksenia Sizaya, Rhéni Tauchid, Alice Teichert, Beth ten Hove, Sharlena Wood, and Heather Midori Yamada." Review: Excellent book on acrylic mediums and how to use them - I have only just received the book so have only just started to skim the surface, but can see already that it will be very helpful, seeing that acrylic mediums are becoming increasingly relevant to acrylic painting. There looks to be very thorough coverage of all types of mediums, how to use them, and how to avoid pitfalls. With lots of lovely examples. Review: Wonderful guide to experimenting with acrylics. - Just looking at the colorful pages makes me happy. LOL Can't wait to try some techniques out of it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #331,045 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #67 in Acrylic Painting #364 in Graphic Design Color Use #3,084 in Encyclopedias & Subject Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 211 Reviews | ## Images ![Acrylic Painting Mediums and Methods: A Contemporary Guide to Materials, Techniques, and Applications - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xpgcFF-CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book on acrylic mediums and how to use them *by A***N on August 5, 2024* I have only just received the book so have only just started to skim the surface, but can see already that it will be very helpful, seeing that acrylic mediums are becoming increasingly relevant to acrylic painting.

LOL Can't wait to try some techniques out of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Acrylic Painting Book on the Market, Written by a Great Artist! *by L***S on August 9, 2018* This book is terrific. It explains all the aspects of acrylic painting (including a bit of chemistry about how and why the products work) in a clear and concise manner. Rheni Tauchid really knows her stuff. The illustrations are very helpful and augment the text well. The paper is heavy and glossy, which is a nice extra and the photography is well done. The techniques are clearly explained in sufficient detail to be very helpful for a beginner as well as an intermediate-range artist. Lots of "so THAT'S how (and why) that works" going on in this reader's mind! Great a-ha moments all the way through. Best of all, the author never talks down to the reader. The book is written is a casual conversational style, as though you are sitting together over a cup of coffee. Truly, if you are going to select only one book for acrylic paint education, this is it!
