Tips on painting acrylic

-Always control the amount of water use when mixing the acrylic paint. It will becomes watery and the colour will turn pale if too much water is added.

- Always apply a second coating over the first coat as the first coat of acrylic paint is pale.

- Control the amount of black colour when painting the hair. Always paint the black colour as last part as black will overun the brighter colours such as yellow, red and pink. Use black sparingly when outlining.

- Hold your breath when you are painting a stroke. This helps you to concentrate on your hand even better.

Resource is from personal experience. I will update more soon.
