Abstraction is a way of making the viewer share your intellectual and emotional response to a subject without directly portraying the image itself.

The creative part of the process is virtually impossible to teach, precisely because it is so personal. However, learning the technical processes involved can lead to an understanding of how materials can be
manipulated.

In 55 straightforward projects, Anita will show you how to use the particular properties of acrylics to achieve these aims. She explores colour, texture, mediums, collage, glazing and underpainting as well as the use of
shape, form, pattern and composition. The instructions for each project are simple because the idea is not to replicate the appearance of the example but its spirit.

This is as close as you’re likely to get to a complete but thoroughly practical course in abstraction.
