Instructional Art Books & DVD’s Sandra Duran Wilson Acrylic Painting for Encaustic Effects was born out of an exploration for what materials could do. My style of painting is accomplished by applying multiple layers of transparent color and thin clear acrylic layers. I build depth and transparency in my paintings this way and people often think the acrylic paintings are Encaustic, so I decided to develop a book on this technique. Experimenting and mixing things up has intrigued me all of my life. As a jeweler or a bartender, I would stir things up to create unique patinas or a new margarita. My training as an experimental scientist plays out in my art and my passions are curiosity and experimentation. I have written 5 books on art techniques and I have several DVDs. I teach workshops around the US, Europe and Australia and maintain a studio practice. I love to create and my first question of the day is always, What if?
