Needs to be structured.
Although some of the information is beneficial I feel as if the author quickly wrote the book without having a plan in mind. There’s repetition, as well as some contradiction. Plus it would have been better to have some visual references throughout, as beginners may not have any idea what some of the materials listed look like. It doesn’t show the new artist how to do anything; just tells them (and not clearly at that).
I also found it hard to read because of run-on sentences and typos. I think with better structure, some visuals, and some editing this could be a higher-rated book.

Short, but has some good tips.
This is a very short beginner's introduction into acrylic painting. The last 20% of the book is a 'bonus' chapter of the first chapter in another book by the same author.
The material is presented more in bullet point than in narrative fashion. Some of the tips are very good, especially regarding painting light or dark tones.
The tips are nice, but there is a lot of content missing that is contained in other books on acrylic painting for beginners.

Half finished
I got this book on Kindle Unlimited reads as I am learning and practicing acrylics right now. There is not a single picture example in the book and it reads in about two minutes. Other than explaining the different brushes the book really seems half baked and and presents no real info. Yes we shouldn’t smoke while painting acrylics for fear of inhaling... that’s about all I got out of it surprisingly.

Brief
The information given in this book is reasonable and helpful but the book is far too brief to give any depth of information. It serves as an introduction but only just.

A little short but informative
This book is short but a good intro to Acrylic painting. The author should add images to provide examples and additional length.

Straight talking advice !
I'm recently retired and wanted some clear basic guidance on what I needed to buy to start my new hobby.

An art book without pictures to show what is explained. Boring!

Basics
Covered the basics and helped me to not make common mistakes when first starting out. Also, helped to educate on how to take care of brushes.

Audible Audiobook Review
Great Tips for Anyone Wanting to Master Acrylics
ACRYLYC PAINTING was a good, informative audiobook by JASON FERRISON about painting with acrylics. I was looking for something specific and found it right here. I'm a watercolor painter but have often wanted to try acrylics and I now feel a lot more familiar with what I need and the type of paint itself. In fact, I learned a few new things in general from this audiobook that will be very helpful.
It's very true that if you're listening to this book and you're new to painting, you must keep practicing. Don't get discouraged if your finished product isn't what you expected. It takes time. I liked the fact that this book gives multiple examples of surfaces one can use with acrylics. That makes it somewhat more versatile than simply watercolor or oils. Overall, I think this was a great starting point for me or any beginner wanting to paint with acrylics. If you follow the advice here, you WILL ultimately master this medium.
CHARLES ORLIK has a great upbeat way of speaking that I especially like. It's as if you're learning from a friend which makes this audiobook completely user friendly. He made this an easy and enjoyable listen. As an existing artist in a different medium, I learned some things from this book. Great job from both author and narrator!
Audiobook gifted in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.

I was looking at this book as a resource for my girls for homeschooling. I feel that it provides good basic info for younger readers.
