Beginners or amateurs are so-called partly because they usually don’t have deep insights into so many things when it comes to making art and selling it. A typical amateur is lost in the process of selecting between oil paint or acrylic paint. Many seem to favour oil paint attaching a classic image to it which of course is allowed. Other artists seem to give acrylic paintings more acceptance.
However, what you need to realize is this: drawing and painting are birds of the same feathers. For you to have a great oil/acrylic painting experience, you must have initially created a great drawing (idea) that guides your painting.
Ever wanted to use acrylic paint like a professional?Â
Follow the easy steps below;
Start with drawing foundation.
This is very important to have a great acrylic painting since acrylic paints dry rapidly. So, it is smart to have your drawing already available on your canvas or wood or surface as you would want. It helps you manage your acrylic paintings.
Instead of having your acrylic painting on the Pallette before thinking about your drawing or where to start from. That leads to a loss. Your acrylic painting will probably dry off before you are done with the drawing thinking process. Â

Put your acrylic paint (s) on your Pallette.
Consider having a waterproof Pallette and only squeeze on the Pallette the acrylic paint you are going to use off after 20mins that they are out of the acrylic paint container. Remember, acrylic paint dries off quickly so you want to be guided and certain you’re ready to use them as soon as they are on the Pallette.

Clean your brush.Â
Always remember to clean your brush with water from a container during painting just so you can remove excess acrylic paints from the bristles.
Preferably you should use a synthetic brush because it will make your acrylic painting process easier. A paper towel can come in handy to slightly reduce the quantity of water on the brush. Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Paint is perfect because it can clean up with water while wet and the remaining paintings from the brush can be cleaned up with soap when you are done.Â
