![]() ![]() The colors I used for these paintings are: Titanium White, Ivory Black, Phthalo Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Deep Magenta, Cadmium Yellow, and Naphthol Crimson. I’ve used a bunch of different acrylic paint over the years, and you can use whatever brand you want, but if you’re really into painting and/or just want the best quality you can get, then try these out! They look better, they feel better, they mix really well, and they go a long way! They’re a higher viscosity(thickness) than cheaper brands, so you can water down as needed. These are AWESOME paints! They really are worth the extra money for the higher quality. Acrylic Paints – I used Liquitex pro grade(or heavy bodied acrylics).You can also use the round body to get larger strokes-so you’ve got both thick and thin in one brush! I highly recommend a set of various sizes like these! The round brushes are nice because once dipped in water and paint the tip comes together and you can get a pretty sharp line with it. Brushes – For all these paintings, I used 2 round brushes.Paper Towel – I always have this on hand to wipe off any excess water on the brush to get the right consistency while I’m painting. ![]() Water container – Any empty plastic container or cup will do! The bigger/fancy one you see in the picture here is actually nice because it has holders for your brushes on the sides, 3 different water chambers, and some grooves on the bottom to make it easier to clean your brushes.Acrylic paints can be peeled or scraped off pretty easy! Paint palette – I like to use the round plastic ones.2×2 inch mini canvas (they usually come in packs, I got a set of 6).Done using Acrylic paints, each one took about an hour or so.Ī Quick Step by Step Painting Process on a Mini Canvas “Scenes from the Smokies” is what I’m calling them, as they are all from photos I took when I visited the Smoky Mountains a couple years ago. So here’s my first set of mini canvas paintings. I thought they would be so neat to make tiny paintings of, and they really were a LOT of fun to do! In fact, probably the most fun I’ve had doing a painting, because they don’t take long being so small, you can try out so many different things and not waste a lot of time or a big canvas! Scenes from the Smokies – Acrylic Paintings on mini canvases I got myself a little 2×2″ mini canvas pack at a craft store years ago.
