Acrylic Painting Tips

If you have any experience with acrylic painting, you have probably already noticed that it is a fast drying medium. Many new artists squeeze far too much acrylic paint out on the palette and wind up wasting it. Make certain you do not squeeze out more than you need.

To keep the paint moist on your palette, get yourself a spray bottle and fill it with water. Keep it handy and spray a mist over your paints every once in a while to keep them from drying up.
