First Basically, the first thing to do is decide what to use the range of colors. If I’m painting a dark theme, cold / hot has, or a bright hopeful theme. If you have an understanding of how colors look when painted together on the screen is much easier to start.
Second Block all the colors that you expect to use on the canvas. Just color, as argued by the right (which is many layers of paint here, so do not worry). When painting, you will learn how to look for certain colors in the color black top coating or how the colors “pop” of the page.
Third Do not use only the primary colors. Mix a little blue with some red or black, a subtle red shows once again that black dries to create.
Fourth Go light at first. The more acrylic water without even the most brilliant and opaque, unless the ink is dry. You can dilute acrylic with water and make it work for you is like a watercolor.
Quinto not be afraid to try something new. No, can not be deleted, but you can always hide sections and paint.
Sixth know that in my experience, I will add to my painting, until you get to ruin either a genius or something up. Knowing when to be satisfied.
Seventh never finished painting in one session. After each object looked for hours, it begins to deepen it and almost always frustrated when you can not find what you need to get there. Work on it in several stages. I always give my base layer and a little more. Then put it in a place where I found, by the way, all day to see. One or two days later, I was magic, which is what I need to add or remove. It’s amazing, and you can change its image with a clear mind not biased to continue.
Eighth When the paint on the surface of the fabric, the use of gypsum as a prime location, before you start. Wait until dry and sand the surface is very smooth. This gives you a wonderful area for his work in acrylic paints.
Ninth is good to be critical of his own work, but to understand that painting is not a skill that you are now a professional. It takes time to learn everything you see when it is dry, brush there are many techniques I cover in another post. Also be able to accept criticism, only make you look better.
10th The final suggestion is to see how your mix of colors with different color, if both are wet. Also, some colors can dry before attempting to add other colors, unless you want to wash a dirty gray / brown on all sides.
