Begin by preparing a smooth, primed surface so the colors glide on evenly. Apply thin coats instead of thick ones this helps you achieve richer depth, prevents cracking, and makes blending much easier. Because acrylics dry quickly, keep a small misting bottle nearby to lightly spray your palette or canvas to extend your working time. Experiment with acrylic mediums to adjust texture, transparency, or drying speed depending on the effect you want. Always rinse your brushes immediately after use to keep the bristles in good shape. With these simple habits, acrylic paints become incredibly versatile, giving your artwork a vibrant, long-lasting, and professional finish.
