Acrylic Painting: Introductions (Wednesday Mornings)
What Students Need:
PAINTS:
There are different types of acrylic paints based on consistency: soft body and heavy body. Choose soft body acrylic paints if you prefer smooth color application and easy layering. Choose heavy body acrylic paints if you want thick, expressive strokes and to build texture. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Both are great for beginners and experienced artists.
Colors to Bring:
You can buy acrylic paints in tubes or jars sold individually at your local craft store. I recommend Liquitex as a budget-friendly option with great quality. Choose two versions of each of the three primary colors: one cool and one warm red, yellow, and blue.
Examples: cadmium red (warm), alizarin crimson (cool), cadmium yellow (warm), lemon yellow (cool), ultramarine blue (warm), and cerulean or phthalo blue (cool). In addition, you will need titanium white, yellow ochre, and burnt sienna.
If you prefer, you can also get a set. These options can be easily found on Amazon at affordable prices:
Meeden Acrylic Paint Set, Soft Body (12 colors)
Meeden Artist Acrylic Set, Heavy Body (9 or 12 colors)
