Have you ever thought, "I could paint like that" (or, "I wish I could paint
like that") as you walked through an art show? If so, you've expressed a
desire to delve into the arts - even if only by looking at this book. There's a
romantic view of artists as paint-covered, canvas-focused geniuses drawing
inspiration from some beautiful muse. And why not? Often that's exactly what
an artist is doing.
In this chapter, I show you a few of the reasons acrylics are amazing as well as
explore what subject types make interesting paintings. You discover how to
develop your talent and style and collect the images that interest you. Finally,
you even personalize a sketchbook in order to get familar with your acrylic
