Why read it?
1 author picked Abstract Explorations in Acrylic Painting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Abstract Explorations has many projects that will take you from start to finish.
She has a limited number of products to use, and her compositions are strong and consistent throughout the book. I think the strengths are the creative ways she shows you how to use traditional tools like stencils, stamps, and pens.

There are beautiful color combinations that you will want to try and the compositions are fresh and energized.
From Sandra's list on mixed media acrylic painting techniques.
