The author shows not only how the techniques of painting in watercolor and oil can be applied using acrylics, but also how their versatility is greatly extended with gels, acrylic gouaches, metallic colors, and gessos. The important differences between the other media and acrylics are carefully explained, and the demonstrations of how different mediaincluding charcoal, Conte crayon, and caseincan be integrated into one composition will spark any painter's creativity.Throughout, Quiller's fullcolor studies and finished paintings illuminate his text.
