Acrylic Painting Techniques: How to Master the Medium of Our Age Paperback – April 1, 2002

Great book

He has used the medium for many years. He talks about different painting surfaces, brands, paint brushes and setting up your palette. How to see color. Value intensity, complimentary, analogous and triadic color relationships. Creating texture and building a painting with layers. The book is inspiring. Well worth the purchase.

I really like this book! It is full if ideas and information and great new things to try. It also gas beautiful paintings.

In you have painted for any length of time, you are not going to get any new advice from this book. But it does help re-reinforce the basics. It's well-written. The photo tints are a little off.

First, I love Quiller's work and color choices so naturally I would love the fresh approach to his landscapes. It is a wonderful book to see the alternatives to the Super-realistic paintings created by most artists. It is a unique way to use color and the simplified landscapes that are the result. This book is an eye-opener to the traditional artist and should be used to expand our outlook to the outdoors and the semi-abstract genre. Heartily recommend this book.

I probably shouldn't give this book a rating. I'm prejudiced. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Quiller's work. I had to have his books. That said, I have learned more about paint and media from his books than I have from any other book. While this book is not a step-by-step book, he does share some of the progression that a painting goes through from his inspiration to the finished product with a few examples.

The Quiller Color Wheel is worth the price of the book: many, most artist colors' positioned on the wheel. Enormously helpful when starting out.

This book contains a good color wheel and some useful discussion about material, but that's about it. The art is extremely idiosyncratic, stylized, and modern, and it is not very appealing. What's more, it appears that the author only has command of one style/genre, and that won't be of much help people who are trying to learn. Spend your money on The North Light Book of Acrylic Painting Techniques instead.

Great book if you like using vibrant colours.

I never bought this book but have an older edition with the same content....interesting that AMAZON would ask for an opinion on something they never sold????It is a great book for overall understanding of acrylic painting

si vous voulez savoir que faire avec l'acrylique,c'est le livre qu'il faut lire .explications simples en anglais avec quelques exercices,c'est vraiment une approche moderne de la matière .on se lâche et on s'amuse ...

I came across this artist on YouTube and liked his style of painting, so sent for this book which I’m finding very interesting. There’s a good balance of text to pictures; he describes his approach in detail, particularly in respect to colour relationships, and there are many examples of his paintings which are striking and colourful. Altogether an inspiring book.

Wonderful book!
