Abstract Acrylics by Waltraud Nawratil, softback published by Search Press. ISBN 9781782216506, price 12.99 available from www.searchpress.com
An experimental approach to painting. Abstracts using a variety of mediums and methods that you can follow in 27 step-by-step projects. The step-by-step is brief and although there are photographs, they do not show every step. I would therefore recommend this book for experienced painters, and also for those who understand how different paints work – are knowledgable about the flow of paint etc. Some great examples of finished works and I do like Waltraud’s methods and style. She introduces you to a different way of working. For example with a palette knife and spray paint as well as actual leaves and petals. The book concentrates on interpreting the natural world in a beautiful way. Discover how to transform the reality of the landscape and flowers into interesting abstract paintings.
