Starting acrylic painting as a beginner can be exciting and rewarding with the right approach. Begin by gathering essential supplies: quality acrylic paints, brushes, a palette, and canvas. Use affordable materials while learning to avoid waste. Start with primary colors to understand mixing and create a range of hues. Keep your paint moist by using a spray bottle to prevent drying. Practice basic brush techniques like blending, stippling, and layering. Clean brushes promptly to maintain their quality. Most importantly, enjoy the process and experiment to develop your unique style!
