Acrylic Painting Techniques
We’re going to talk about some painting techniques. Let’s start with putting our paint out on our palette. Basically, all you have to do is take your paint, squeeze it out of your bottle or your tube onto your palette. Separate the colors with a little bit of space so that you’ll have room to blend in between your colors. I also like to set them out sort of like they appear on the color wheel. And just start with a small amount of paint, each color.
The next thing we’re going to talk about is how to load your brushes and how to apply the paint to the canvas. I’m going to start by using a 1/2 inch flat brush. These are great for mixing colors with. I’m going to take some of my red paint and blend it into my yellow paint to come up with an orange shade. Make sure that you get a quite a good amount of paint into your brush depending on the technique and the subject that your going to be working on. You simply take the brush and you press into the canvas. Going back and forth will spread the paint and it will also fill in all the little pieces and parts of the canvas.
