Learn tips to present your paintings :

• Usually acrylic paints go dry so fast, so squeeze only required paint out of a tube.
• Always have a piece of cloth next to your water jar and get into the habit of wiping your brushes on it after you raise them. This avoids the water drops running down the ferrule and onto your painting, making blotches.
• If the paint is applied thickly – either straight from the tube or with very little water added – or if mixed with a little white, all acrylic colors can be opaque. If the paint is diluted, they can be used like water color or for air brushing.
• Improve the flow without losing color by using flow-improver medium rather than water.
• Masking tape can be put onto the hard edges to remove the dried acrylic paint without damaging an existing layer. This makes it easy to produce a hard or sharp edge.
• Using acrylic paint as glue for collection can be done provided it should be used fairly thick on the item.
