Synopsis

Angela Gaughan offers a close look at the methods behind her highly detailed, life-like wildlife paintings, with colour at the centre of her approach. She explains how her techniques bring together the strengths of acrylics and oils, helping artists create depth and character while working in acrylic.

The book opens with a thorough overview of the materials, tools and media she uses, before moving into colour and light, gathering reference and composition. Step-by-step demonstrations guide you through her stages of working, from using photographic references and completing a tonal drawing to building a painting with transparent washes and opaque colour, finishing with masterwork techniques for more advanced development. Suitable for experienced artists interested in her methods, as well as those looking to improve their acrylic painting skills.
