Acrylic Painting on Paper: A Beginner's Step-by-Step Guide to Success

[@Galactic_Centre]

I received acrylic paints and a canvas as a gift and I have no experience painting, so I wanted to practise on paper. This tutorial came in so handy, thank you!

I was hoping to avoid making the border with taping. I usually use canvases but costs and storage has been prohibitive for me lately. I bought Bristol paper and canvas pads but keeping them steady has been very frustrating and i ruined the corner on one after completing it which really has me looking for a solution.

Taping the border isn't essential but can help some individuals create a clean border with ease. If you don't want to that, it's alright! What about adhering the bristol paper or canvas pad to your work surface using a tacky putty/poster putty like this: amzn.to/3J4G0Iv Looping some masking tape or artists tape on itself could help you adhere the paper to your work surface in the same sort of way. Hope this helps!

Thanks for responding! I will try the tacky putty next. Looping the tape doesn’t hold as much as desired.

I use canvas sheets which is not described in these videos.

Thanks for your input. What do you like most about using canvas sheets?
