Acrylic Painting Tips




​

Picture
I have been experimenting, studying and using these colours. I find them flexible and give me a good range of colours and values when mixed. I don't use black except to paint the sides of my canvas. (someday that may change) To get a very dark colour I mix Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Umber. I have many more paint colours but the ones listed below are my favourites.

As in all things you have to play with it yourself to find what works for you.
My colour palette – 2024
 
Golden Fluid Acrylic – Quinacridone Magenta, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Teal, Permanent Violet Dark, Titanium White 

 Liquitex Basics - Light Blue Permanent, Yellow Oxide, Prussian Blue

Pebeo Studio acrylics – Chrome green Hue

Of course my favorite metallic paints:
Golden’s – Iridescent Light Copper (fine), Iridescent Gold Deep (fine), Iridescent Silver (fine)
​
​I also love Golden High Flow paints - Indigo, Turquoise Thalo, Quinacridone Magenta, Teal

I only use black to paint the sides of the canvas
​
This is the base of my palette of late but I will substitute or add other colours depending on the mood of the piece.
