New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics.Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics,he reveals his techniques for the first time - making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract,evocative and full of vivid colour.Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations,Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising - yet often simple - ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs,rolling farmland hills,tidal rivers or flat,open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting,and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.Paul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping,pulling,weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer,the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour,and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.
