Tips for beginners in acrylic, Please help.?
(I'm not an English user, but I will give my BESTSHOT.) I read a book on acrylic painting and I decided to give it a try but I do not know what I should get. and it is really difficult find art supply store in my country. (There is an art, but few supply stores, they do not sell Acrylics.) So I have to buy online and I have to buy as much as I can. My budget is about $ 150. (Taxes and shipping are unincluded.) I think Golden Acrylic Heavy Artist body paint, brushes Syenthetic but I do not know what brand should I expect. I want to try if I could mediums. And the makers of paint and painting knives. I saw them on the book and for me, they look much better. I be happy if you help me. It still felt important to try something new! God I feel so good now just thinking about it.
From what you said, I think you want to paint in acrylic opaque, probably a bit like the oil paintings. If so, I recommend Liquitex heavy body acrylics, reasonable prices. They have information Useful tubes, more than most brands. They also have media you want to try. Golden Acrylics have a good reputation and are popular as Liquitex (I use both). on media, you might start with a bang, matte medium, and perhaps a small container of one another, as body gel or heavy clay. (Breakfast for you may not use it as). If you go to a couple of acrylic manufacturer sites, they have good information on their various products, such as: http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/medsadds/index.php and http://www.liquitex.com / Products / products.cfm. A good series of paintings with a star: Or the http://www.misterart.com/store/view/001/group_id/2287/LIQUITEX-Classic-6-Heavy-Body-Acrylic-Color-Set.htm following: http: / / But do not get www.misterart.com/store/view/001/group_id/2016/LIQUITEX-Classic-12-Heavy-Body-Professional-Acrylic-Color-Set.htm students acrylic quality of all brands. You will not waste your money. On tools, there are many brands of brushes! I like money Brand brushes of various shapes (for example: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/art-supply/catalogs/0058514000000) With long handles for sure. The shape of the walnut is very popular, also flats, alive and brushes line. You'll need some small. A word about the other tools, shapers color and painting knives. It is well depending on what you want to do. If you just want to try them, get a good one everyone, until you are sure you will find them useful. Most people paint with brushes. Painting knives are good for applying a very thick paint, called pulp. Colour shapers are good to go paint when she is on the canvas / paper. But, UNDERSTAND, painting with acrylics, begin to master, takes time. If you want to paint a professional level, perhaps several years. And learning tools, how to best use each skillfully and takes too much time with confidence. Two main features: Acrylics dry quickly (if it is applied very thick, they dry more slowly to dry completely). They are also very flexible, and you can paint on many surfaces. To be thin, canvas is the most common. I suggest you buy for your experiences pad (tablet) of sheets of canvas, by Fredrix (Http://www.misterart.com/store/view.cfm?store=001&group_id=7191) True canvas, but can be removed as a sheet of paper from a tables. When you are better, get advice canvas or canvas. Because acrylics dry very quickly, the best is to plan your mixes brushstrokes and thoughtfully in advance, so you can fix them without much noise.
