Acrylic Portrait Painting for Beginners
Acrylic paint is water based and fast drying, when dry it looks much the same as oil based paintings. Acrylic painting is done by adding layer upon layer, blending one color into another to produce a canvas print.
Lighting and Space
A fairly private bright room where you will set up your equipment is needed. The best lighting for painting is bright indirect sunlight. You will need a place that gives you the space to work without interruption.
A Table and or Easel
You will need a table for laying out all your bottles of paint close to your paint tray. It will also hold your container of water, rags, and any other items such as, Q-tips, a nail to unstop your paint bottles, a pencil for sketching, small plastic ruler, a drafting compass Kleenex, paper towel, etc.
