Acrylics are the best paints to use for beginners due to their quick drying time and the ease to cover mistakes as you are able to layer colours on top of each other.

The best way to paint with acrylics is to apply the larger mid-tone first, then add darker tones for depth and put highlights at the end. Remember that acrylics dry very fast compared to watercolour and oils and will dry on your chosen material very quickly. It’s best to prepare yourself so make sure you have an idea of your painting ready and pre mix the colours on your palette.

If you’re finding the acrylic to be thick, you can always thin it by adding water to your brush.

Acrylics will dry on your brushes and make them unusable if not cleaned so make sure to wash the paint off with soap and water!

Most importantly, just have fun and experiment!
