Painting with Acrylics: let’s start with the basics!

Acrylic colors are truly one-of-a-kind. They are vibrant and versatile, and more importantly, they offer a very tactile feel to any artwork. Creating textures with acrylics is easy and fun. Keep reading to learn more.


The first thing you should do is to break your usual pattern - and we don’t mean drawing patterns and colors! We’re talking about creative patterns. Instead of thinking about what you want to draw, try approaching your artwork with a more experimental concept instead. Let the colors take you on a journey, and see what will happen. 


Don’t be too worry if you aren’t happy with the results. Try again, until you get confident in playing with different colors, and tools. The most important thing to a great artistic experience is to have fun while you’re at it! 


You can repurpose old household items as creative artistic tools. For instance, toilet paper can be great to create texture with paint, and you can use old rugs and clothing as well. The possibilities are truly endless.

The more you get accustomed to experimenting, the more you’ll feel comfortable with the process. As a result, you’ll start creating artworks that are increasingly more intricate and detailed, with personality and character! One of the best things about approaching painting this way is that the most amazing things that happen come from accidents. With so many layers and impulsive ideas, you never know where the next brush stroke is going to take you!
