Missed Edits in Rethinking Acrylics
so far, I have only come across a few mistakes in the book. Until, there is a new printing,,,,,and certainly hoping that there will be one….I thought I would document the errors here.
Page 76. The last half o the first paragraph is confusing, and actually wrong. The carrier sheet refers to a piece of standard print paper, that you tape your acrylic skin, or aluminum foil, etc to, so that it creates a flat and stable surface, for the printer. You want printer friendly “edge” that the printer reads and grabs easily.
Page. 142. The photo of step 1( three fruits) is actually step 2. The blending of the 1st photo, should be the second step. It is very obvious, once you take a minute to look at it.
If you find other errors, please let me know.

Hi Patti, I’m glad to see you took my suggestion and wrote that book. I was very pleased to run across it in my local library the other day.
Thank you for visiting me when I worked for Gateway Computers in Savannah. Please also pass along my best regards to Phil.
hope you sell tons of books,

Hi Patti,
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to speak to me at the CHA show. I was happy that I was able to see the digital grounds in real life. As I mentioned, it’s hard to explain the concept of being able to print on something other than paper (in this case, w/ cheesecloth) to some and I was happy to bring home a sample.
Thanks again!

Hi Patti,
I met you a couple of years ago when I was teaching at a SALI ( now IDAL) convention. Your enthusiasm was infectious and I was thrilled last year to learn that you were writing a book. Your book far exceeds my hopes and expectations. I have always been rather experimental in my approach and your book further opens the door to new ideas.
My sister is new to acrylic and I just purchased a second copy for her. She is thrilled and even a little overwhelmed at the possibilities that acrylics offer.
I was especially pleased to see a whole chapter on my favorite subject…acrylic transfers and digital grounds. I have been experimenting with transfers for about 10 years and have felt very much on my own. I love to see how other artists are using the current technologies. My copy of Digital Art Studio is well red and dogeared now. Any chance that you might do a whole book about digital techniques?
I would love to know more about which printers you have used. I am currently in the market for a wider format printer.
Thanks again for the FABULOUS book!

Hi Patti,
I got your book last night & I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I’ve already been recommendinging it at the local art store where I met fellow artist, Bonnie Cutts at a Golden workshop last year (and she is coming back this spring).
It was fun seeing some of her work in your book.
Thanks for posting these clarifications on your blog.
One thing that I love in your book is the detailed process. It makes it easier for me to adapt to my own work.
Congratulations on a wonderful book.

Hi Patti
Your book was recommended to me bij my artsupplier in Hamilton New Zealand . I am an artist and live in Rotorua New Zealand.
Your book is great. Very much appriciated, I realised today that I carry it every day from my house to my studio, it doesnt leave my site, it must have been a big job to put some order in the fast amount of new technieks available to you with all the new gels, mediums ect.
Thanks Patti
Suggestion
To reduce down the searching for an specific techniek
a quick reference list in the back of the book with traditional terms
(watercolour with the acrylic formula(s) recommended to achieve it.)
I would like a standard panel or a reference page were I can quickly find the options available or a poster I can hang close to my easel.
I was raised up with oils and created my mediums with all the
different effects available to me from venetian terpentine and dozens of other commercially available (secret effects) used by the old masters from to boiling up my own wax medium all these effects would now be achievable in acrylics
I would love an addition to your book that would explore this angle.
I wish you all the best for the new year as you have made my one a lot easier

Hey, thanks for your videos and book- exactly what I’ve been looking for. Can you tell me if Red oxide fluid interference actually exists? I was unable to find it at my art store or online. If not what should I use for the yellow acrylic beeswax look? This is from page 100.
Happy New Year, Jill
