You’ll need the proper brushes and surfaces to use with your acrylic paint, and thankfully, it’s all available here at Arteza.

What supplies do I need to start painting? With acrylic paint, you’ll need at least a paintbrush, a palette and a surface. Each type of paintbrush will create its own look and effect, with bristles ranging from natural to nylon, and soft to hard. An artist’s palette is where you measure and mix your paint. These can be glass, plastic, paper or wood. Finally, you’ll need your surface. You can be really creative—choose heavyweight acrylic paper or stretched canvas, or branch out and try wood, plastic, ceramic or even clothing!

 

What brushes do I need for acrylic painting? Flat or rectangular brushes are used to make long strokes and work well for blending, while round and pointed brushes are typically used for fine lines and details. Brushes made with natural bristles tend to leave an uneven texture and can be damaged by acrylic paint over time. On the other hand, synthetic brushes cope well with the acrylic resin and are easy to clean.

 

How do you prepare a canvas before using acrylic paint? Many canvas options, including stretched canvas and panels, are primed and ready to use for acrylic painting. They are typically made from 100% cotton and stretched over wooden frames. Raw canvas, however, will need to be prepared beforehand with acrylic gesso, which is similar to white acrylic paint, only thinner.
