I’m happy to say that my art and technique has been included in this book by UK author/artist Gill Barron, the fairly famous Painter of Everything (she’s well on her way to painting everything in the entire world, and doing a beautiful job of it, too).

I have two step-by-step projects in the book, as well as several other finished paintings used as illustrations.

The book is entitled Acrylic Secrets: 300 Tips and Techniques for Painting the Easy Way, and has been distributed worldwide by Reader’s Digest Books.

It’s now available on Amazon and you can order your copy here.
