By Ryan West


Acrylic paints are easy to work with and dries up too quickly with a waterproof finish. This is very versatile and cane created in making various effects and textures. Before beginning to paint, individuals must set first their supplies and make an outline before starting to work on more fine details. Once they have a good understanding on the basics, they can move on to the next level and use techniques like stippling and layering colors. When it comes with acrylic portrait paintings, individuals can perform the project by doing it themselves.

To start your acrylic paintings, choose a stretched, prime canvas for easy option. If you are still new to art, canvas will be the best surface. A canvas is made from liner or cotton and have a wide range of styles and the most common being used are stretched and unstretched. A stretch canvas is fixed on a wooden frame while unstretched types are sold in one big roll and not cut in sizes.

Add more water on the palette every ten to fifteen minutes while painting. Acrylic paints dry easily and quickly which makes it very hard to work with. Keep an eye on the dyes and ensure that you will spray a few amounts of water so it will not dry out and just harden on the canvasses. Once it dries, it will be impossible to remove the paints.

Lay out the materials and equipment. Each individual has their own specific way of setting their supplies and getting them in placed is important. Get out all the paintbrushes and paints that will be used, the jars must be filled with water and the palette in the right location where it would be easy to get.

Start the painting from the background. When painting, painters will be layering upwards. The easiest way is to move back to front. Make sure to begin with medium colors, next will be followed by darkest colors then the final would be the brightest ones for easy application.

Create a sketch. If you are a green horn in painting, then making a rough sketch is essential. It will be better to sketch a few outlines where the paint brush can adhere. To make the rough sketches, use a pencil that have an eraser to outline the shapes directly on the canvasses. Do not think about the shading or too much details. Try to create multiple sketches first on papers before turning it on the canvass.

Paint by using a large brush to outline the shapes on the subject. When starting the acrylic painting, use a flat, large brush to generate the outlines on the canvass. It would be helpful to use opaque colors when painting the outlines. For the detailing, use a transparent color.

Painting is a step by step process. If one step is not being followed, the painting will crumble. Individuals must adhere to the correct guidelines and techniques when doing their own paints. You must follow the proper way to paint so you can create something extraordinary by using acrylics.

Price will always be an issue. Some brands are high costs while others a low costs. Individuals must determine their differences and know each of their advantages before purchasing. Some people say that the higher the price, the better quality a paint will have.
