Acrylic Painting: Bold Colors, Bold Expression
Acrylic paint is perfect for artists who love vibrant colors and quick drying. It’s versatile — you can use it thick like oil or thin like watercolor. Start by priming your canvas with gesso for a smoother surface.
Use large brushes for background and smaller ones for detailing. Mix colors on a palette, but remember acrylic dries fast — use a spray bottle to keep it moist.
Try “impasto” technique — applying paint thickly to add texture. You can also use palette knives for unique effects. Blend colors directly on the canvas for expressive results.
Acrylics allow endless creativity. You can layer, glaze, or mix mediums to create different finishes. Always seal your finished artwork with a varnish to protect it from dust and fading.
