Altered Surfaces: Using Acrylic Paints With Gels, Mediums, Grounds and Pastes for Paper, Canvas, Board and Plastic (Design Originals)

Get ready to "think outside the box!"

Author and artist Chris Cozen demonstrates how acrylic paints, fluids, gels, mediums, grounds, and pastes work together as a system, allowing them to be fully compatible with each other. Join Cozen as she shows how to mix and match these artist's essentials to achieve luscious, vibrant, and exciting results.

Altered Surfaces will take you on a wonderful adventure using a myriad of paints and products available in the acrylic paint line. You'll discover paints that are richly and generously packed with artist pigments, and provide incredible results on paper, canvas, board and plastic. Once you start using these artist grade paints you may never go back to 'craft' or 'student' grade paints, which have less pigment. Be brave, experiment and try new combinations—it's the best route to discovery!
