So let's get right into in, this article has some good tips, and I love to share it with you. Here are some of the steps that stood out for me.

Tip 1- Use Synthetic brushes

When starting out painting, learning how to use your brushes is the best thing you can. When you learn which type of brushes you need and how to use them properly they can become easy tools to help you achieve beautiful art.

But unfortunately, brushes can often be intimidating for beginners and they often avoid learning about them.

I was one of them

Head on over to the paint section of any art store and you will most likely be faced with a sea of brushes. From different sizes, shapes and even hair types.

There is an overwhelming sea of different brush options.

And on top of that they don’t come with any type of instruction manual on how they were designed to be use or even how to take care of them.

But I’ve got good news for you: if you want to learn all you need to know [as a beginner] about your brushes like:

• Which 5 brushes you actually need as a beginner
• How to use each brush (as it’s meant to be used)
• How to care and clean your brushes so they actually last (and save you $$)
• Hands-on brush exercises and painting tutorials (with video) that’ll level-up your brush strokes and techniques

Now, in terms of basic brushes you’ll want to look for brushes made out of synthetic hair. Not only are they less expensive than other brushes but this type works best with the components in acrylic paint.

Tip 2 - Most Acrylic Paintings can be created with only three basic brushes.

 These 3 basic brushes that will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

1. Large Flat Brush (synthetic hair):used to fill in large areas like backgrounds, filling in large shapes, etc..
2. Medium size Fan Brush (synthetic hair): This special effects brush can be used to create interesting texture and help create foliage, pine trees and blending paint.
3. Small round brush (synthetic hair): used for smaller shapes and detail work, highlighting, etc.

Tip 3- Change the texture of your strokes with a palette knife.

Palette knives create distinct, modern-looking strokes. They can really add texture and movement to acrylic paintings
