My grandmother taught me to paint with acrylics. The easiest way to learn is to find some postcards or calendars. Sketch them on smallish (9x12) canvas panels. Rule 1: paint the furthest thing away from you first (sky). Then the mountains or cityscape, etc. Go 'darker' with the tones towards the bottom and show more details on the things close to you (at the bottom) I remember asking why I should start at the top. I thought she was going to say something real artsy about background, picture plane, etc. She said, "That way you won't get paint on yourself.". Mainly. it takes a lot of practice. If something is not working, change brushes. Good luck and let me know! Mona
