Today we will tell you how to paint with acrylic paints. Pictures created in this way are incredibly alive. Next, we will look at several examples of the use of this technique.

Fairy tale

So, today we are painting with acrylic paints. Pictures with a fabulous plot will be described first of all. We will need: synthetic brushes, water, spray gun, palette, rag. To learn how to draw paintings with acrylic paints on canvas, you first need to develop a sketch of the future work, in which all the details are taken into account. You can take a ready-made idea as a basis or create an original plot.

Make some sketches on paper. We transfer the most successful option with a simple pencil to the canvas. We think over the color scheme and composition. First we use the main shade on all objects. At this stage, you should not get hung up on the details, just set the color for our fairy-tale characters.

Now we will look at how to create acrylic paintings on black canvas. Its advantage is that all objects stand out perfectly against such a background. You can immediately see how well thought out the composition. If necessary, its individual elements can be changed. We color everything. Let's start drawing some details. First we set the light and shadows. Then we add patterns and small elements. To model the color longer and create the smoothest transitions between shades, spray the canvas with water. It is important not to let the paint dry. Brushes should be washed thoroughly. We make accents and emphasize small elements. That's it.

Magnolia

Let's take a closer look at an example of painting with acrylic paints. Paintings depicting blooming magnolia are ideal for this. We will now try to create one of them. We place the magnolia branch horizontally. It is important to remember that one flower must be chosen as the main one. Wet the canvas with water and use blue to create a background for the magnolia. Let's start painting flowers. We make them from a mixture of red and a small percentage of brown. We draw the petals. We achieve maximum expressiveness of color. In this case, the magnolia can be depicted schematically, slightly deviating from their natural appearance.

Still life

Let's consider one more example. I am painting a still life. Create a light beige background. We use thick paint. At the edges of our canvas, we leave a frame that is not painted over with anything. Let's create a texture. We work with a frame. We make it as voluminous as possible.

We draw herbs, also pears. We create the main flower pot. It suits a bright blue shade. First we draw the background. Mark most of the subject darkshade. Adding light. Next, we note bright highlights, as well as patterns. We turn to the creation of flowers in pots. We scatter pears between the flowerpots. We give them different shades. We refine the shape of our window sill, on which the flowers are located. We place accents. Add shadows and highlights to each object. That's it.

We looked at how to paint with acrylics. You can paint the pictures described above yourself.
