Why Acrylic Colors Are a Great Start for Any Painter

First off — acrylic colours are the MVP of the painting world, especially for beginners. They're vibrant, dry fast, easy to mix, and super forgiving. Unlike oil paints that take forever to dry or watercolours that require more control, acrylics give you the flexibility to explore and experiment.

Bonus: They work beautifully on almost any surface — especially canvas boards.

✅ Brushes in Various Sizes – Flat for coverage, round for details.

✅ Palette & Water Cup – Trust us, don’t use your mom’s mug. 😅

✅ Old T-shirt or Apron – Acrylics are permanent once dry. Be safe, not sorry!

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Painting 🖌️ (Trust Us, We've Been There)

We’ve all been there — excited, paintbrush in hand… and then, oops. Don’t worry! Here are a few don’ts to dodge:

🚫 Don’t Overwater Acrylic Paint – It's not water colour. Too much water dulls your colours and weakens the paint film.

🚫 Don’t Skip Layering Time – Acrylic dries quickly, but give it a minute between layers. Otherwise, it turns muddy.

🚫 Don’t Be Scared to Mix – Want a new shade? Mix and match! Some of the best colours are custom creations.

🚫 Don’t Compare Yourself – It’s your art, your pace. The best artists started with messy first canvases too.
