Acrylic Painting With Lee Hammond Paperback – July 5, 2006

I am really enjoying this book. It illustrates some of the different techniques used by Lee Hammond. I am taking some local art classes, and this book gives me some interesting projects to work on at home. Even the simple example of making a round ball or shere look three-dimensional is helpful to a new painter and is not as easy as it looks. She stresses that there is an "Awkward Stage" in any painting, and she points this stage out in each of the projects in the book. This has helped and encouraged me to give my paintings the final details needed to make my paintings more realistic.

This my second book from this author and I really like her way of outlining the start, mid point and finished art pictures. She provided more information then I presently have from previous work I've done in painting, and so I thought it deserved five stars. The best thing was finding it in kindle format so I'll always be able to refer back to it on any of my devises anywhere.Thanks Lee!

This book wasn't exactly what I was looking for because I wanted a lot more step-by-step instruction (I'm painting with acrylics for the first time) but there were a lot of helpful tips and I liked seeing the four stages of paintings...drawing, painting, awkward stage and finish.My favorite tip from the book is "Don't Quit Too Soon" referring to the "awkward" stage. He wrote that "many beginning artists have a tendency to give up" (at this stage). I could relate to that because I almost gave up on an early painting but decided to persevere if it took forever. I'm so glad I did because I love the way it turned out.All things considered, I'm very glad I bought the book.

I've been hobby painting for a while. However, after reading this book, I'll be doing more "picture" painting. The explainations of the basics, blending, etc. are vary easy to understand. There are clear and to the point. I'm going to look at other books by this author. thank you

Won't be buying any more Lee Hammond Books. You are absolutely required to Draw.If there is one thing I have learned from Bob Ross and Mark Daniel Nelson, it is:A) You don't need to know how to draw.B) Details are unnecessary.That's the end of that conversation. I forgot to say, this is a Book for people who know how to draw and want to learn how to Paint.

An excellent piece of work by Lee👍! If could give it 10 rating I would! What's up next Lee?🎨😊 Since I'm now interested in painting still -life's I found this section fantastic! The examples are simply beautiful "eye-candy"!!

Lee Hammond has a gift of explaining art in a way that beginners can understand. Highly recommend this book for those interested in learning how to paint with acrylics. Fun book!

This book gives good , clear and helpful instructions for the beginning artists.I like the way the writer introduces basic knowledge on painting in acrylic and it really encouraged me to go on with it.
