CANVAS PREPARATION
Lock the canvas in place.
Whether you stretch the canvas or not, you should lock it in place to prevent any untoward accidents. Easels usually have a mechanism that locks a canvas in place. If your canvas is not stretched, mounting it to a board or thick cardboard with painter’s tape is also good.
Pick a spot.
Not just any spot, mind you. It has to be a well-ventilated area with lots of light and space so you can have more elbow room to work and concentrate on your masterpiece. If you have a small space, that’s no problem as it can be easily fixed with a neutral-colored light bulb lamp and if necessary a magnifying glass. It goes without saying that you should clear the area of things that you don’t want paint on!
Set your station.
Painting on a flat surface is ideal, but as long as you’re comfortable, whether you’re painting on a desk or a coffee table, you should have a surface that will not get disturbed when you paint. If you can’t stay in one spot for too long, either due to time constraints or an easel (sold separately) would be best as it allows you to take your work anywhere.
Materials on hand.
A basket or tray to contain all of your materials would be very handy, not to mention you won’t have to run around looking for them as they’re all gathered in one place. A couple materials to keep in your arsenal is paper towels and extra brushes.
Take a pic!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and it definitely will be when you lose track of your process. It often happens that you would get so engrossed in your work that you often forget what you were doing. Smartphones nowadays can take the most detailed photos so there’s no need to worry about not being able.
Just the Tip!
Another rookie mistake is not only dipping your brush in the pot dry, but they also dip the whole brush in the paint pot. It doesn’t have to be accurate, just a drop or two of paint helps to wet the brush and spread the paint better.
A common mistake that happens is when you open multiple pots of paint at a time. Mixing colors often comes out muddy and, not to mention, acrylic paint dries easily, further ruining the paint.
Lightest to darkest; top to bottom; left to right.
Starting a project can get a little overwhelming, so the tried-and-true method is going from lighter to darker shades from top of the canvas to the bottom.
For left-handed painters. It’s safe to assume that majority of our painters are right-handed people, but that doesn’t mean the lefties are left out. If you’re left-handed, painting from right-to-left will not only be easier on your part, but it would also prevent and paint smudging from the condensation our hands make.
Relax and have fun.
After all, what’s painting if it isn’t fun? Painting has scientifically been proven to help keep anxious people calm. When engaged in a project, be sure to take a 15-minute break every hour or so to prevent cramping on your neck, arms, and back.
