Acrylic painting is an art form that uses synthetic acrylic resins. Acrylics dry quickly and have the visual effect of oil and watercolour paintings.

  • For brushes, a rule of thumb is to use large brushes to cover large areas and create loose painting styles. Small brushes can be used to paint details and small areas.
  • Acrylic paint can be used on many surfaces including canvas, paper, and board. Acrylic gesso should be used to prime pre-primed canvas.
  • It is important to use high quality materials, particularly paint while making an acrylic painting. There are professional and student-quality paints, as well as brushes and canvasses that can be used.

  • You can plan the layout of your painting, and where you want to place your focal point.
  • To make it easier for viewers to understand and enrich their experience with your artwork, you can include tiny details such as shadows and shapes in your paintings.
