by Susan Delfino Artist

There are plenty of things you can do with acrylic paints on canvas. Acrylic in many ways is simpler to work with then oil paint in this it dries faster also it only requires water to thin it. As a result of these basic features it is possible to build a lovely figure oil paintings in a very great deal a shorter period you may with oils. Having traditionally been a painter who devoted to painting in oils, My business is now working more with acrylics. I've found I favor them which enable it to create some nice pieces offering me a much more flexibility just as one artist. I'm able to drop a basic layer of paint so go back over it as needed in a very much shorter time an essay working together with oils. Only decide there is an area that we aren't keen on or ought to change I'm able to return back and rework it easily.

There is something too which can be done before painting your picture that work well well with acrylics. One technique is to work with neo-color crayons and draw your picture or lines onto the canvas. Once you have done this you possibly can recover and apply water towards crayon and get an incredible beaten up or runny look. You can also paint during these with acrylics and permit lines surface in areas. The fishing line is excellent underneath the paint and adds another interesting quality for the work. Animal oil paintings with acrylics on canvas will also be combined with charcoal besides. You can either paint a location or object first after which recover and draw with it charcoal. This allows you to definitely get interesting line quality in order to highlight a location or create atmosphere. Due to the speed of drying you can certainly work over the location to get the desired effect.

Another thing you can also do is to paint a surface and then recover over it which has a watery mixture of paint for just a glaze. One artist I know works on the roller and can roll a light glass and area for getting an atmospheric look. You can even utilize the sharp end of the brush, bubble wrap, plastic bags as well as other objects to produce interesting marks in your paint. A great action to take should be to go to your local hardware store and locate interesting tools to utilize to make surface texture. Golden and Lytek have great acrylic paints. You can buy some really fun colors in acrylics and also the traditional colors. To my taste the colors in acrylics are actually bold. I love strong colors and this utilizes me. You can purchase several sizes of tubes of paint and various sizes of gels and mediums to mix using them. I generally buy the medium size tubes as I have the large jars would dry up too fast. You'll want to be sure to maintain your caps on tight when working with acrylics so your tubes don't dry up.

Acrylic paints are easy to spend playtime with and they're all to easy to tidy up too! Another thing you can do is with you want to keep paint wet while working is to spray some water onto it. It's also possible to put your paint over a Styrofoam plate and put a damp paper towel over it and another Styrofoam plate ahead to help keep the dampness in your paints. Art is fun! It is a fantastic way to pass time, to discover the entire world around you, also to be creative. Don't stress if the first piece doesn't work. You could paint over it again later. The most effective art is obviously an exploration!
