I recently did a painting in art class using acrylic paints.
I really enjoyed it so i bought some paint brushes, canvases, and acrylic paints. The brushes I got are really soft and I think they're nylon. Are those ohkay to use? And I realize now that blending green acrylic paint is difficult...as I found out last night when I started my painting. The blend is kind of choppy and i want to make it more subtle. How can I do that? And do I need a palette? Or can I just use paper plates and throw them away when i'm done? I dont waste any paint because I put a very small amount on the plate. I read that I can have a spray bottle close by to keep the paint wet, since acrylics dry out fast. But is there anything else I should know?

And I need some ideas for my painting, so lend me your suggestions, please! (The backround is light green to dark green diagnolly) if that helps for your ideas.


Thanks, bye.
