“Acrylic Solutions” by Julie Prichard & Chris Cozen

Today we review the mixed media painting book “Acrylic Solutions” by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen. It’s published by North Light Books 2013. It includes everything you need to get started with acrylic painting, both on canvas and a range of other surfaces. The book will also provide the experienced artist with the “why” and “how” paints and mediums behave as they do, as well as a variety of techniques. These are all pulled together to work through a series of lovely paintings.

 

And the WINNER of the Acrylic Solutions giveaway is ….

ELENA MANALI says:

Hello! I started using acrylics the last ten months.I was afraid of using them but since I made my first trial I was amazed with that medium! So many colours and the texture and the depth I can give in my mixed media collages I feel like I am hand building as a sculptor! I would be very happy to win a copy of the Acrylic solutions and I am sure that it will lead me to new paths in my work!

Elena,

The Artistic Mother by Shone Cole

Shona shows us how to incorporate our creativity into our busy lives. It all begins with thinking about your vision, setting goals, breaking them into steps and setting up a dedicated space for creating. The instructions are well laid out and easy to understand, with accompanying photos. The 12-week art course is great and will help even the most time-challenged mother get started.
by Shone Cole

For artist just starting out, Shona reminds us it is important to follow step-by-step instructions to begin with, then you can branch out with your own ideas. The short stories about other artist mothers that are spread through the book are inspiring and remind us that we can fit creativity into our lives.

This is a MUST HAVE book for all mothers!
