A professionally trained artist, studio owner and teacher for more than 30 years, Jenny Muncaster, presenter of Amazon’s The Artist in You, believes anyone can pick up a brush and have a go. This book gives you the know-how and the permission to play.

Creative Mixed Media Acrylics brings that approach to the page. Through hands-on exercises and eight step-by-step projects, Jenny shows you how different acrylics behave, how to layer in pens, texture paste, collage, foil and gold leaf, and how to make your own style out of it. It’s expert guidance without the intimidation, and you’ll have plenty of “wow!” moments along the way.

Discover:

• Acrylics, demystified: Learn how soft body, heavy body, fluid acrylics and inks each behave, and how to use them alone or together, from delicate washes to thick, sculptural impasto.
• Mixed media made approachable: Add pens, texture paste, collage, mirror foil and gold leaf, then try printing, feather painting, palette knife work, spattering and sponging.
• Learn by doing: Eight projects and plenty of artist tips build your confidence step by step, whether you’re a first-timer or ready to loosen up.
• A peek inside the paint factory: Go behind the scenes at Daler-Rowney to see how acrylic paint is made.
• Jenny’s finished works: See how her techniques come together, and use them as springboards for your own ideas.

This exciting and experimental book is perfect for those looking to bring a little more joy, color and playfulness into their acrylic painting.
