Titles appearing in Art Book News Annual — January 2006

Arrangement is by title.

Acrylics; the watercolor alternative; 25 demonstrations for achieving beautiful paintings.

Harrington, Charles.

1-58180-586-1

Arkansas resident Harrington taught water-media painting at the university level for 20-plus years before leaving teaching in 2003 to pursue a full-time fine art career. He presents a practical text for both new and experienced acrylic artists and watercolorists, demonstrating four key attributes of acrylics which Harrington feels exceed those of watercolor and, therefore, make acrylics an attractive and capable alternative to watercolor. Opening chapters covering materials and design basics are followed by technique exercises and painting demonstrations. Illustrated throughout with full-color reproductions. Oversize: 8.75x11.25 inches. (Annotation ©2006 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)

Warmans's antiques and collectibles price list, 39th ed.

Ed. by Ellen T. Schroy.

0-87349-990-5

New to the latest edition: a smaller size and full-color illustrations. The price guide covers some 50,000 objects made from 1700 to the present, organized alphabetically. Added this year are Llardó porcelains. The reference is designed to be a buyer's rather than a seller's guide, suggesting what a buyer would have to pay on the open market for an object from a dealer or collector (rather than what someone could get for the object if they sell it to a dealer). KP Books is an imprint of F&W Publications. (Annotation ©2006 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
