Description
Acrylics meet the natural world in a bold and innovative way, as landscape artist Paul Bailey reveals his unique approach to capturing the essence of the landscape in paint. Through his semi-abstract style, Bailey demonstrates how to distil the natural world into striking and unusual color palettes, liberating painters of all levels to experiment with the versatile medium of acrylics. With step-by-step demonstrations and easy-to-follow explanations, Bailey shows how to manipulate the medium in surprising yet simple ways, bringing forth organic shapes, using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for your painting, and creating a compositional sense of rhythm. The result is a beautiful and contemporary work that showcases the artist's mastery of scraping, pulling, weathering, and splattering the paint.
