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 4” 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
- 4” Square Brush – For large area coverage and blending backgrounds.
- Large Oval Brush – Useful for soft blending and creating smooth transitions.
- Filbert Brush – Great for softer edges and blending landforms and highlights.
- Detail Square Brush – For adding precise highlights, details, and cloudwork.
- Round Brush – Perfect for painting tree silhouettes and organic shapes.
- Ultra-Soft Blending Brush – For final blending and smoothing out brush strokes.
- Palette Knife – Ideal for adding sparkling effects and creating crisp edges, especially in the water.
- Liner Brush – Best for detailing, such as thin grass and finishing sparkles.
- Clean Towels or Paper Towels – 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).
