Acrylic Painting Techniques

This video will walk you through some of the basic techniques with acrylic paint. These techniques will work with any type - but for your reference I am using Liquitex Basics on student grade watercolor paper.

Materials:
-Sheet of watercolor paper (9"x12" or 11"x14" is a good size)
-Acrylic paints, choose several colors but any colors can work for this exercise
-Paint brushes in a variety of shapes and sizes
-Acrylic mediums (gloss medium, matte medium, gel medium, etc. *whichever ones you have and want to try. A medium is an additive that can change the consistency of the acrylic paint, make it thinner, thicker, glossy, etc.)
-Sharpie or pencil for labeling
-Modeling paste (also an acrylic medium)
-Stencils
-Painter's tape
-Sponges (you can just cut up an old sponge for this)
-Palette knife
-Cup of water
-Paper towels or rag

One of those rare instructional/tutorial videos, where you feel with utmost conviction that, out of the 7:23 minutes, not a single second was wasted or unnecessary. ❤️

This video is more straightforward than me wanting to tell Janice that I want a break up.

So, you are a teacher in real life. NO WONDER you explain so well. I guess you wouldn't want to give up your day job, but I want you to know that what you share on tube is so very appreciated.

As soon as I clicked on the video, there was immediate attention-grabbing action. I clicked subscribe immediately. And she actually teaches you how to do it instead of just showing off her skills and not really showing anything at all like other channels. This channel made me instantly feel like I can accomplish the impossible. What an incredible influencer.

I loved how the artist carefully described how to use acrylic techniques. It is quite useful and to the point! I love how brilliant the acrylic colors are and how the texture emerges after drying. Acrylic paint is a versatile media that is also one of the least damaging.

Thank you for refreshing my memory on painting techniques that I ' ve long forgotten

[secretsquirrel]

Excellent video. As others have said, straight to the point, no needless intro about your cat or why you think all painters should drink chamomile tea.
Now, I'll make my own copy of this on paper.

No intro, just went right to it. Loved it

When using the tape method you can also paint over the edges of the tape with some white paint first, let that dry and after that use your colors:) the white will fill in the gaps between the paper and the tape so there’s no room for colors to leak in:)

I like about how the artist explained thoroughly on using techniques in acrylic. It is super helpful and straight to point!. I adore how vibrant the acrylic colors are and how it develops texture after drying. Acrylic paint is one of the most versatile mediums, and one of the least toxic.

From 0 to 100...now I can paint! Thanks for the excellent demo!

Love your video! No talking bullshit, no unnecessary stretching over 10 minutes, straight to the point. Subscribed.

This video is very informative, I love how the acrylic colors pop and the texture it has when it dries. Because of this video, I now better understand how to use acrylic painting techniques such as wet-in-wet, overlay, and splatters.

[lindanafey]

Thank you for reminding me of all the things I'd learned and forgotten in art school in my teens. VERY helpful and clear demonstrations of technique and tools. Thanks again!

[kindachill]

Literally the best video I could have found on painting techniques. Thank you.

[artisticafflair]

I love the textures in the modelling paste technique. So effective and beautiful. 💛

[bertal.c]

Thank you so much for this video. You QUICKLY without wasting time showed me more than I knew from several drawn out boring videos from others. I look forward to learning more from you.
