The most challenging thing about painting is actually getting your idea out onto paper. Acrylic paint has a plastic base called “Acrylic polymer emulsion” so won’t come out of fabrics and surfaces. Wear old clothes or an apron and protect your work surfaces.If the acrylic dries on your brush it will be permanently damaged. Acrylic is a very fast drying medium, keep water near you when painting to rinse your brushes. It’s best to do your background first so that you don’t accidentally make a mistake and go over your main design. If you are wanting a lighter more airy background I would use some water to thin down your paint to give a softer look. When creating backgrounds for your Acrylic paintings, I would always colour the background first.This helps you with accuracy and colour placement. I always prefer sketching out my design on my paper or canvas before I start applying the paint.This will stop your darks from mixing with your lights which can often create a murky dull colour. I find it crucial to wait for the darker shades to dry before applying highlights. Wait till mid-tones and shadows have fully dried then apply your highlights. Start with your mid-tones first then go in with your darker tones for shadows.Take this into consideration when you are mixing your colours, it will always dry slightly darker than when you first apply it. As soon as your paint dries, it will become a darker shade. Be aware that when you first apply paint to your canvas or paper it will look a slightly paler colour when wet.If your acrylic paint is looking slightly translucent you can layer on top of it to create a thicker, opaque finish. It is the best medium to use when you are wanting to layer your paint or apply thick layers as it dries extremely quickly. Acrylic paint is lightfast meaning it won’t fade over time. Depending on how much water you use to dilute your acrylic paint, your painting can resemble watercolour, or modified with acrylic gel can resemble oil paint.Īcrylic paint can go on any surface making it really easy to use as it requires no pre-paint preparation.
These paints are water-soluble but become water-resistant when dry. Acrylic paint is a thick fast-drying paint made of pigment.
