I use water to help thin the paint. There are some schools of thought that you should use distilled water because of minerals and such in tap water. But I will be real with you, I use tap water, and I’ve never had a problem. So if you’re just starting, don’t worry too much about distilled water.
Easy Paintings for Beginners – Acrylic Pouring
Are you in the market for easy paintings for beginners? Maybe you just moved into your new place, or maybe you’re looking for ways to spruce up your new space, maybe you just need a new, relaxing hobby. Well, no matter what you’re trying to accomplish, you are in the right place for easy paintings for beginners!
And you don’t even have to be “creative” or “artistic” to create beautiful works of art with acrylic pouring! Acrylic paint pouring is an extremely accessible art form that everyone can use to make amazing art!
Here are some questions I’ve heard over the years from people wanting to start painting, and my answers based on my love of acrylic pouring:
What should a beginner paint?
Pick a simple technique (I’ll cover below how to get started with acrylic pouring and some easy paintings for beginners to try.), and go at it! The beauty of abstract art is that you don’t have to paint a certain thing. You don’t have to have any idea of what you’re going to create before you do it. And yet still you can achieve a beautiful piece of art.
I think going abstract is a great way to start, but you can also paint lots of things easily with acrylic pouring, like flowers, animals, landscapes.
Really, once you get the hang of the basic techniques of acrylic pouring, you can use your imagination to transform those techniques into whatever you fancy. And you won’t have to spend hours to get beautiful results or years mastering traditional art techniques.
How do you start painting on canvas for beginners?
I know that starting is the hardest part sometimes. It can feel overwhelming. What materials do I need? How do I prepare? What do I do first? Well, I’m here for you, and, as I mentioned before, I’ve got you covered below with easy paintings for beginners.
Acrylic pouring is a very forgiving medium. Even if something happens that you’re not a fan of, it is fixable. And at the absolute worst case scenario, you can literally wash this off of your canvas and start again. So the risk for starting is seriously low, nothing to be afraid of. Just jump right in!!
