.	.	Discover the Joy of Acrylic Painting Jacqueline Penney's second book demonstrates techniques of using acrylic paints. "Gorgeous artwork is mixed with friendly instruction in this introduction to the versatility of acrylics. With sidebars and 13 mini-demos." Acrylic is a growing medium, yet there are very few good instruction books on the market. The two most appealing things about Jacqueline Penney's acrylic paintings are first, their subject matter, which transports you of a wonderful, relaxing holiday spot, and second, the ease with which she paints. These two features are emphasized throughout this new book. The techniques, described in both the body of instruction and special sidebars, highlight the shortcuts Jacqueline Penney has developed to get great results. Aimed at watercolorists who might want to try acrylics as well as beginning to intermediate acrylic painters, Penney's book offers ideas and instruction in a popular painting style while encouraging artists to have fun while they create. * A great introduction to a medium whose popularity is soaring

.	..	Painting Greeting Cards in Watercolor Jacqueline Penney's second book is about miniature watercolor paintings that can be used for greeting cards and gifts. This is a very fine book on painting in small format. Penney distills her art into miniature studies that make use of techniques necessary for any size watercolor: wet-on-wet, waxing, and masking techniques and the specific treatments of varying skies, seasons, and textures of stone are nicely done. This is a unique book that is useful for a broad audience. Penney proves that an artistic endeavor confined to a small format can be visually expansive. Jacqueline Penney's book is aimed at practitioner and novice alike. Penney uses landscapes, seascapes, and natural scenes for postcards and greeting cards. Each of the more than 35 projects features step-by-step color photographs as well as indications of potential problems, such as changes in the weather. The last two sections include a look at creating fantasies and Warhol-like pictures from paint drips, plus tips on presentation.
