Whether you’re buying pigments or preparing your palette, artist Mary Morrison will help you choose from all types of acrylic paints with complete confidence! Start with how to select the primary color variations that will suit your work. Then, discover the properties of both modern and mineral pigments and find how to control them as you make two color wheels. Discover the black and white pigments available, and find out how to pick the right one for your work. Expand your palette further as you use neutral grays to create a value scale and a tint, tone and shade board. Next, learn to bring brilliant visual interest to your art with iridescent acrylic paints. Plus, add contrast and depth to your work using the prismatic effects of interference paints.
