Considerations for Painting With Acrylic
Acrylic is a water-based paint frequently used by artists. It has various distinct qualities, including:
- Dry time: This paint dries quickly, allowing you to add layers or make changes within minutes. However, the short drying time also limits how much you can tweak the art later.
- Layering: You can lay down opaque layers quickly to correct mistakes or add details to your work.
- Blending: Blending with acrylic paint allows you to create distinct color variations for your artwork. This medium blends easily.
- Details: When adding details with acrylic paint, the less paint on your brush, the more effectively you can create the desired look.
- Painting methods: Acrylic offers flexibility to try various techniques, such as glazing, which can add depth to your colors, or stippling, which creates realistic texture.
Acrylic paint's qualities call for particular techniques and painting surfaces. A canvas or board must effectively hold layers of acrylic paint and support adding sharp and precise details.
Advance Your Work With Acrylic Paint Boards
Our team at Trekell understands the unique qualities that come with different mediums, like acrylic paint. We offer a selection of acrylic canvas boards specially chosen for their effectiveness with this medium. Our panels include raw wood and raw aluminum, with no priming layer on top. Add a primer or linen to the wood or aluminum to prepare the surface for painting.
Other acrylic painting canvas boards we offer have gesso or acrylic priming, which prepares the surface for acrylic paint, adding convenience to your painting process. These panels include primed hardboard, Baltic birch and aluminum composite. Many of our primed panels have a portrait-grade linen layer to add subtle texture to your painting.
Our panels vary in size, from inches to feet, for everything from miniature paintings to eye-catching display pieces. Choose from various profiles, ranging from 1/8 to 1 3/4 inches. Some panels have additional features like built-in hanging holes or floater frames.
