Brushstrokes: Acrylic is a tutorial and technique guide by Angela Moulton aimed at beginning artists. Due out 3rd March 2020 from Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback format.
Walter Foster are familiar and loved by readers everywhere for their
specialized technique tutorial books and this one follows the same
format. The introductory chapters (~15% of the content) include tools, supplies, brush anatomy, a little color theory, some technique basics, palettes and choosing colors. The rest of the book contains 11 step by step tutorials for specific subjects. These really are projects which almost anyone can complete. The author has a calm and positive teaching 'voice' and the projects are simple but appealing (see cover).
There are no links or bibliography included and no index. In fact the
book ends so abruptly I wasn't sure that I had gotten a full review
copy. (I had). The artist author is adept and certainly talented with the medium she
uses and her instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
