101 Textures in Oil and Acrylic - Mia Tavonatti

From Quarto, 101 Textures in Oil & Acrylic by Mia Tavonatti is a paperback art instruction book focused on one of painting’s most demanding skills: rendering convincing surfaces and textures in oil and acrylic. Rather than concentrating on individual subjects, it centres on practical techniques that help artists capture a wide variety of textures with greater accuracy.

Across 128 pages, Tavonatti shares tips for working with both mediums and introduces methods such as blending, layering, working with oil and acrylic mediums, and creating an underpainting. Step-by-step instruction is supported by general colour recommendations to help you get started quickly, while an index makes it easy to return to specific techniques as your work develops. A short gallery at the end of the book shows various textures in finished artworks, offering useful visual reference. Suitable for artists of all skill levels, it also has the potential to be used in school and college art classes.
