It is fast-drying, forgiving and incredibly versatile. But like any art material, it can take a little getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new to acrylics or just want to improve your painting technique, this post is for you. We are covering five of the most common mistakes beginners make with acrylics and more importantly, how to fix them! Whether you are studying on one of our courses or simply experimenting at home, these tips will help you get smoother blends, cleaner colours, and better results overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive in, here is a great YouTube video that covers some beginner information which you might find helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TOP TEN Acrylic Painting TIPS For Beginners | DO&#039;s and DON&#039;Ts to Becoming a Better Painter\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PXa48XLLBXQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Not Blending Fast Enough<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylic paint dries quickly, often within minutes, which can be frustrating if you are used to blending like you would with oils or watercolours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work in small sections and blend as you go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a stay-wet palette or mist your paints with water to keep them workable longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try using a slow-drying acrylic medium if you need more time to blend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MASTER Acrylic Paints : The ULTIMATE BLENDING Guide!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C0YkHg52k-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Using Too Much Paint at Once<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Squeezing out large blobs of acrylic paint can lead to waste \u2014 and because it dries quickly, you may find half of it unusable by the time you are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Fix it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only dispense small amounts of paint at a time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep a misting spray bottle nearby to keep it from drying on your palette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a stay-wet palette if working for longer periods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Overmixing Colours and Creating Mud<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginners often mix too many colours together in an attempt to get the \u201cperfect\u201d shade. Unfortunately, this can lead to muddy or dull colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stick to a limited colour palette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn which colours are complementary (and might neutralise each other).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try mixing on your canvas instead of the palette for more dynamic results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"4 KEYS to Avoid Muddy Color\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SnLjr67B6zM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Painting in Streaky or Patchy Layers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes new acrylic painters apply paint too thinly, especially when adding water, which can leave behind uneven strokes or visible underlayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply paint in smooth, confident strokes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If using water, be careful not to dilute too much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let each layer dry fully before adding more on top for better coverage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Using the Wrong Brush for the Job<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all brushes are created equal. Using a soft watercolour brush for thick acrylics, or a stiff brush for delicate details, can lead to frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Invest in a few quality synthetic brushes designed for acrylics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use flat brushes for large areas, round or filbert brushes for curves and detail, and fan brushes for texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean your brushes thoroughly \u2014 acrylic paint can ruin them if left to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Basic Acrylic Painting Techniques for Beginners\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wla7FB3Vrm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Acrylics are fun, fast, and perfect for experimenting, so do not worry about getting everything right straight away. Like any medium, the more you practise, the more you will understand how it behaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Wla7FB3Vrm0?si=n5Lj-fkoeqbXqmF5\">General Drawing &amp; Painting Diploma<\/a> both cover the basics and beyond guiding you through acrylics with tutor feedback and creative exercises along the way.
