Painting Atmospheric Acrylics

For acclaimed artist John Hammond, successful paintings marry confident technique to a strong evocation of individual sensibility and a fully realized sense of place. In this stunningly illustrated guide, previously released in hardback as "Free Expression in Acrylics", featuring 100 of his own paintings, Hammond reveals the secrets of finding striking subjects and explains how to bring beautiful scenes to life through the use of design, color, and composition. Each chapter ends with a detailed "picture analysis" in which the artist dissects one of his own paintings to highlight the major points of the chapter.
