<DIV>Showcasing Hashim Akib's distinctive and beautiful acrylic artwork, this book builds on vividly colored basecoats before detailing the artist's idiosyncratic approach, which layers rich paint in an increasingly tight patchwork to create paintings bursting with energy and light. This extensive guide details six step-by-step projects that include urban landscapes, pet portraits, and abstracts. Written in an approachable, encouraging style, it also includes information on the materials Akib recommends.</DIV>
