Acrylic Paint Colors   🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨

My acrylic paint brands of choice are Sennelier’s Acrylique, Golden Artist Color,  or Abstract Acrylic. I also like Holbein, Artist Loft Level 3 and M Graham. 

The links lead to the listed color in all 3 brands. 

These products were hand picked by me. First two links are professional grade and the third is the more economical Abstract Acrylic that I personally recommend for student grade.

🖍 OTHER TOOLS  

 

Brushes - 

Brushes will not be final until the last video is filmed. Please use these as a guide of what I am planning to use. These are brushes I use very often.   You can try Micheals online and The Brush Guys too.  Dick blick - https://www.dickblick.com ; Cheap Joes - https://www.cheapjoes.com/ ; Jerrys Artarama - https://www.jerrysartarama.com/.

 

  • Brights in a Firm Synthetic 
  • Brights in Bristles 
  • Rounds with Good point 
  • Blenders 
  • Details 
  • Filbert or Cats Tongue for Acrylic 

 

For Acrylic April, we will be using a few more brushes so that we can accomplish and learn some new techniques. You do not need to have the exact brand of brushes that I use. When it comes to a Bright you might be able to use a single bright as one way to save money.  My students often paint with different tools.  I believe you use what you have and are comfortable with until it doesn’t work for you.  This list of brushes and information should be used as a guide and I highly recommend you make this work within your own personal budget or painting process. 

 

I like Rapheal Textura Brushes, Simply Simmons Extra Firm Filament and Hog brushes, Silver Brush and Princeton brushes for firmness.  Try Catalyst and Creative Mark Pro-stroke. 

 

I plan to do a studio set up tutorial that should be released before the event begins.

I’m having a difficult time finding good blending brushes that work well. I’m finding that my paint is drying before I am able to get a good blend specifically when painting backgrounds causing me to have to paint it 6-8 times to get my desired look such as in the attached which I am still working on. I wish that I could attach the previous versions of this just to show you what it looked like before getting to this point. Could you suggest a few different blending brushes that you really like?
