Playing with Paints - Acrylics: 100 Prompts, Projects and Playful Activities Meet Courtney Through painting and blogging I discovered my passion for sharing my love of painting and inspiring others to pick up the paint brush, too! I believe that we are all artists and have the power within us to create a life we love. Paint Palette and Brush Care Acrylic paints are wonderful for novice painters in that they dry quickly and you can quickly and easily cover any mistakes. Proper care is essential to the longevity of your materials. Mark Making Mark making is all about creating varying types of line, pattern, and texture. You can do this by using different sizes of brush and brushes with different-shaped heads—flat, fan, angular, or dagger. Make a Mess and Create an Abstract Painting Be at peace with making a mess, experimenting and creating something unexpected. Painting with a Palette Knife Palette knives are such a great tool to include in your painting supplies and process. They can be used in a variety of methods and help add dimension to your paintings in ways that paintbrushes can’t. Using Acrylic Paints Like Oil Paints One of the main reasons that I love acrylic is because it can be used in so many ways—be it watering down paints, using fluid acrylics as watercolors, or using extenders and glazing mediums as oil paints. Stippling Stippling is a fun and meditative technique in which you use tiny dots to shade and create form within your painting. Paint a Quote of Inspiration Canvases with an inspirational quote painted on them are a popular element in home decor. It is even better when you create the artwork yourself.
