Charles doesn't spend much time on technical theory, he shows you some practical basics and then you jump right in and start painting trees. Roughly half of the book is step by step instructions for painting the included scenes. The book includes 12, 11x17 inch outline sketches, which you can trace onto watercolor paper. Charles shows you how to mix the color, what brush to use, and walks you through the painting techniques. I was surprised at how not-too-bad some of my paintings turned out. My only criticism is that the book abruptly ends after finishing the final scene, with no closing words or suggestions of where to go from here. Still, highly recommended for the absolute beginner. Review: L'artista affronta la pittura acrilica con un approccio molto "acquerellistico". Preferendo uno stile più deciso, che tende più all'olio, con pennellate corpose e sfumature elaborate, sono rimasta un po' delusa. Ovviamente la mia è un'opinione dettata puramente dai gusti personali e pertanto non toglie assolutamente nulla al valore delle opere inserite nel libro e dell'artista. Detto questo avendo tanta strada da fare prima di arrivare al livello dell'autore, posso solo imparare dalle lezioni che presenta nel libro, a prescindere dalla stile utilizzato, e consiglio sicuramente l'acquisto perché è comunque importante avere nozioni, conoscenze e vedute più ampie possibili. All'interno sono presenti degli esercizi, disegni da rimuovere da poter dipingere. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #79,075 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,579 in Art Paints | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,368) | | Dimensions | 21.74 x 1.12 x 27.94 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1782213988 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1782213987 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | 22 December 2017 | | Publisher | Search Press Ltd | ## Images ![Acrylics for the absolute beginner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vQNOwpTVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***. on 8 November 2025* If you are at the "paint by numbers" skill level, looking for a step up, this book is for you (especially if you are into nature scenes).

I managed to learn some really good techniques. See pics. However, the book delivery was delayed by weeks by the supplier and hence i have not given a full rating. ## Frequently Bought Together - Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner (ABSOLUTE BEGINNER ART) - Lee Hammond's Big Book of Acrylic Painting: Fast, easy techniques for painting your favorite subjects - Secrets of Acrylic - Landscapes Start to Finish (Essential Artist Techniques) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/270908224-acrylics-for-the-absolute-beginner](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/270908224-acrylics-for-the-absolute-beginner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
