Review: Highly recommended book for the beginning artist - I've just started to learn to paint with acrylics and highly recommend this book by Charles Evans. Charles provides excellent step by step instructions to get you through basic painting with acrylics. I've progressed through painting up to outline 5 (I think there are 11 included traceable outlines), followed his recommendations closely, and was very surprised how good my initial attempts at his landscape examples came out. Of course, you need patience as a beginner, not be afraid to make mistakes, and some basic perspective ability. Take the time to research materials (brushes, paints, canvas, wet palette, etc.) as making some good material selections made life easier for me. Also you will need to understand how to mix colors. There are many books out there on how to do this and a good inexpensive color wheel is useful. All in all, Charles' step by step approach, with lots of side-bar insights along the way has kept me inspired to paint, almost daily. I've purchased several landscape painting essentials books, but none come close to the hand holding of the beginner artist in a friendly informative way as Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner. This should be the only method and techniques book you will need to get you started and focused. Review: A good place to start for the beginner - If you are at the "paint by numbers" skill level, looking for a step up, this book is for you (especially if you are into nature scenes). Charles doesn't spend much time on technical theory, he shows you some practical basics and then you jump right in and start painting trees. Roughly half of the book is step by step instructions for painting the included scenes. The book includes 12, 11x17 inch outline sketches, which you can trace onto watercolor paper. Charles shows you how to mix the color, what brush to use, and walks you through the painting techniques. I was surprised at how not-too-bad some of my paintings turned out. My only criticism is that the book abruptly ends after finishing the final scene, with no closing words or suggestions of where to go from here. Still, highly recommended for the absolute beginner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,021 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Acrylic Painting #22 in Landscape Painting #47 in Watercolor Painting | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,554 Reviews | ## Images ![Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91vQNOwpTVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended book for the beginning artist *by G***0 on April 4, 2026* I've just started to learn to paint with acrylics and highly recommend this book by Charles Evans.

Charles doesn't spend much time on technical theory, he shows you some practical basics and then you jump right in and start painting trees.

Still, highly recommended for the absolute beginner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not as good as I had hoped *by A***S on November 19, 2019* I purchased this book along with Jerry Yarnell's "Landscape Painting Secrets." Jerry's book is outstanding; this one, not so much. The best information I have learned from this book would be simplification techniques to transition from photo-realism to more artistic illusion. Charles Evans is definitely more abstract in his art form than Jerry! Many complain that this book is too advanced, but I feel that you have to be patient. Charles leads the reader through some very advanced painting to show key concepts. He then gets quickly back to basics, which is good, but at least a third of the book later! I appreciate what he shows, but it is not the style I prefer to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner (ABSOLUTE BEGINNER ART) - Lee Hammond's Big Book of Acrylic Painting: Fast, easy techniques for painting your favorite subjects - Secrets of Acrylic - Landscapes Start to Finish (Essential Artist Techniques) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/59232492-acrylics-for-the-absolute-beginner](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/59232492-acrylics-for-the-absolute-beginner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
