Review :
Landscapes in Acrylics by Barry Herniman is part of the Ready to Paint in 30 Minutes series from Search Press. Barry provides us with 33 basic studies covering all aspects and techniqus necessary to paint convincing landscapes in acrylics. There;s useful advice on what materials to choose, colour mixing, laying washes and clever tips. The 30-minute time limit concentrates the mind so that you are able to get straight on with learning, with each study focusing on a particular aspect of the landscape. The exercises are worked at postcard size to keep them manageable and all the required tracings are included to help you on your way. Three step-by-step demonstrations put all you have learned into practice. Have you ever wanted to paint some beautiful natural scenery, but don't have a day to spend on it? Barry Herniman has created a beginner's guide to painting landscapes in acrylics, with 33 exercises to build your skills that each take just 30 minutes to complete! There’s something for everyone in this welcome addition to an excellent series. Barry covers trees, rocks, buildings, water, skies and even seas. Demonstrations use the watercolour technique, so you’ll be working on paper without impasto. I’ve yet to see traceable outlines that work on canvas, though I can’t see why it would be impossible. This isn’t just a good book within the series, though, it’s a very thorough grounding in landscape elements and techniques in its own right and something to consider even if you don’t want pre-drawn outlines.
