Another Acrylic Painting Technique: No Need To Wait For Paints To Dry

One of the benefits of learning this acrylic painting technique is that it helps solve the problem of waiting for the paint to dry on the palette; even on a palette that can retain moisture but which also leads to wastage of paint. Though you might argue why not buy cheap paint and forget the issue with wastage of acrylics the simple fact is that you will benefit more by using good quality paints and so must learn new acrylic painting techniques to overcome this problem.

Of course, when using this acrylic painting techniques is sure to have a cloth available so that you can wipe away any unwanted acrylic. Next, you should use a damp brush which even though it will cause some water to get on the canvas is a good method and in any case, you can get around this problem by using thin acrylics and in addition you must be sure about whether the color you are going to use is opaque or transparent. If the paint is dense then it is good to make them thin before use.

Another aspect to mastering this particular acrylic painting technique is what to do with excess paint. The way to do this is to simply dip your brush into some clean water. With continuous dipping into water you may of course end up spreading the painting area with unwanted paint. But, this is not a big problem and you should also not worry about allowing excess water to affect your paint even though this will create problems with adhesion. One can solve this problem by mixing well equal quantity of paint and water.

Once you master this acrylic painting technique you will find that working without a palette is a wonderful way to save on colors and it helps to also save space since you will not need to use a palette.

Master the art of mixing colors when going through acrylic painting lessons. Each time you mix a pair of primary colors you will get what is known as a secondary color and so if you mix red with blue you will get purple while mixing yellow with red gives you orange and mixing blue and yellow gives you green.
