Before You Begin
- Prep Your Canvas: Dampen your canvas with clean water using a big soft brush or a mister. This helps acrylics stay workable and makes blending easier.
- Pre-moisten Your Palette: Use a water sprayer or lightly damp paper towel beneath your paint blobs to keep your acrylics from drying too fast.
- Keep Tools Ready: Gather a 4โ square brush, large oval brush, filbert brush, detailed square and round brushes, ultra-soft blending brush, palette knife, liner brush, and clean towels for wiping.
Essential Painting Tools
- 4โ Square Brush โ For large area coverage and blending backgrounds.
- Large Oval Brush โ Useful for soft blending and creating smooth transitions.
- Filbert Brush โ Great for softer edges and blending landforms and highlights.
- Detail Square Brush โ For adding precise highlights, details, and cloudwork.
- Round Brush โ Perfect for painting tree silhouettes and organic shapes.
- Ultra-Soft Blending Brush โ For final blending and smoothing out brush strokes.
- Palette Knife โ Ideal for adding sparkling effects and creating crisp edges, especially in the water.
- Liner Brush โ Best for detailing, such as thin grass and finishing sparkles.
- Clean Towels or Paper Towels โ For wiping brushes and removing excess moisture or paint during blending.
Be sure to also have a water container for rinsing brushes and a palette for mixing your paints. Happy Painting!
- Miscellaneous:
- Palette (for mixing paints).
- Water container (for rinsing brushes).
- Paper towels (for wiping excess paint).
- Hairdryer or heat gun (optional, for speeding up drying).
