I would also recommend going to a goodwill, thrift store, or Ross for some supplies. I see a lot of art supplies at Ross for very cheap and I also found the same kind of tabletop easel that Emily has, still in the box, at goodwill for $3.99
You will need: Brushes Paint (primary colors to start off) Surface to paint on Water (in jar or cup) Paper towels Palette knife (optional but I would highly recommend) Gesso (optional but i would highly recommend) That’s it! 😁
BE AWARE YOU SHOULD NOT DUMP ACRYLIC PAINT DOWN YOUR DRAINS. In small amounts, it'll probably be okay, but acrylic paint hardens into plastic once it's dry and can build up and clog the drain. I live in an apartment where if you so much as drop an eyelash down the drain, it'll back up for a week, so I don't take chances with my paint. I use a paper plate as a palette, and because of the buildup of acrylic paint, I can use it over and over again. I've had mine for about two years now, and it's still in good condition. To keep the paint from drying up if I think I'll use it again in a day or two, I set the plate on top of a damp washrag and cover the plate. When I'm finished with the paint, I either spread it around the plate to let it dry (and it makes interesting splash designs on the plate), or I wipe it clean with a paper towel and throw it in the trash. That way none of it goes down the drain to clog it.
I’ve been in therapy for a while for some things I’ve been dealing with. When I was a kid I painted all the time with crappy crayola paint because tht was all we could afford lol and that was the happiest I’ve ever been. Then life happened..and my muse was lost. This video inspired me to create again!🥰 thank you ❣️
me watching you say “you dont need to spend a lot you just need 4 colors and a couple of brushes” after spending 150 dollars on 64 colors, brushes and canvases: 🙃🙃🙃
Working mainly with watercolors I was surprised at how inexpensive acrylics are 😂 but yeah you're like me... I spent 600 bucks on oils a few months ago and only touched them once bc they overwhelmed me from having so much to work with haha
This is an awesome video. My small advice would be use two water cups, literally one to rinse of the paint and one to rinse off that "dirty" water. It just keeps your palette and painting from getting muddy. Other tips: cover your paints with plastic if you're coming back to them so they don't dry out. DO NOT leave your brushes soaking with the water above the metal part. Water will get in there and make the wood swell and crack your brush or make the glue fall off. You can also damage the brush if they're soft bristles by leaving it to soak and having the weight of the brush on the bristles. It bends the brush. Make a color wheel Remember that acrylic can paint on almost anything so get creative with your canvases. Old pieces of wood, plastic, cardboard (not too wet).
So I'm trying to get into acrylic painting, went to the art store thinking I knew what I needed to get but then realized I had no idea what I needed after looking at the billion different types of brushes and stuff. So this is very helpful. Thanks!
Listen... Where have you been 3 months ago? Why did I just find you? .. you're the first down to earth, super simple explaining everything without filling the content with useless extra information UA-camr. You're awesome! I sincerely thank you!
@@irishterminator. there are a lot from so many different brands. There are some gels, and a good one I like is liquid retarder. It's thinner but it work so well.
@@ashleycarnes6068 You can use it in different ways, you can mix in directly into your paints on your palette, or you can get some on your brush to blend on the canvas, but only a little if you are doing that!
No one, I bet no one ever talked about the hydration part, it's so essential! Literally cursed myself two days ago for not hydrating! You're unique and amazing ♥️ Thank you much for being yourself throughout and for helping us! 😊
I always like giving border to my paintings to give it a more cleaner look. That's why I always use magic tape. Thank you so much for these types of tutorials.💜
I love your personality so much, so colorful! I loved how you showed the basics that are needed to just start but was amazed and never thought about recycle bin diving for objects to paint on. I went out and garbed my pizza delivery box and made two cardboard canvas to paint on .
I started painting and I got the basics and then I noticed I just started buying a bunch of different hues of blue blue is my favorite 💙 I appreciate that you also use different hues of blue in your standard set up
Hi! I'm an artist and I'm 13 years old. I've been painting for around 2 years. I wasn't in painting before because my country's education system sucks. There was no art support in my previous school nor for sports too but then one day I changed my school and this one is better. There isn't sports support too but they teach art luckily. As there has been Covid from last probably 2 years. I haven't gone to my new school till now... So there were our online art classes and the teacher didn't teach us anything about art... They just give us assignment like draw a beautiful scenery... No teaching how and what to... They just used to throw assignments with time alloted... As I had zero art experience... I surfed it on internet (Mainly UA-cam) and my first drawing went out pretty nice and that gave me a kick to start... My first drawing was made with many materials like wax colours, plastic crayons, oil pastels, sketch pens etc. and most were of my cousin's... And I did many assignments with many more materials and gained some experience about ART and now there aren't art classes anymore in this standard... So I started painting by my own... At first I tried many styles like doing crayons, sketches, oil pastels, mandala and others but nothing was my thing and after a while I came into painting I tried Water colours, Poster colours, Gouche, Oils but nothing worked then I came to know about acrylics and I gave them a try and that became my thing... *I'm an acrylic artist now and it's been around two years and I still use a Paper Plate as a Palette, Primary Kit of acrylic paints, Tissue Papers but when I run out of them I prefer taking a sponge or a cloth, Flat and Round brushes only...I use a flat brush for blending and background and round brush's for lining, filling etc. as putting more or less pressure... And regular papers like A4 size sheets as a surface to paint on... And I use cello tape as a masking tape after applying it over some surface and peeling it off and repeating the process until it feels like has lost some gum and will not damage the paper and most of the times I apply it directly and use it* ... And I shared it all just to show you guys some hacks or diy's kind of so that you'll understand that you don't need any expensive material to make an art piece... Only skills matter:)
I've been using an old hand held dust pan I never really used as a palette. It's got little ridges which helps prevent colors from running into each other when I inevitably hold it at an angle
I was looking for a video exactly like this because I knew I will forget and watch it again and again. I was worried it was going to get boring. I’ve seen this video like 6 times now and I’m still not bored! So entertaining, thankyouuuu!
Holy crap you’re amazing... just discovered you’re channel. Just falling in love with painting. I’m a music producer and I have found that painting is actually helping me become a better music producer. Crazy!
My parents got me acrylics and an easel for my birthday yesterday and I was worried because I thought I didn't have anything to paint on but omg I have an old sketchbook that I never used and I didn't know that could work! you've certainly solved my doubts. Thank you so much, I'll look forward to more videos since im just starting to get into painting 🥰
This is so useful, thank you SO MUCH! Super informative and simple, like all your other videos :)) Congratulations on being creator of the day, you absolutely deserve it. More power to you! 💕
Thank you so much for this video. I am getting so inspired by watching you paint and talk so happy & bubbly, I am considering getting some acrylic paint!
One thing to keep in mind if you do start with acrylic paints is that they dry rly fast and I would recommend buying some retarder( Ik the names sketch) which helps make your paint dry less quickly.
I love using Canson mixed media sketchbooks for my acrylic work because it doesn't warp at all. I also found that I enjoy spiral sketchbooks more because I don't have to break the spine so the book stays flat. I have followed some of your tutorials for acrylics with my own little guache set and I love, love it! if you haven't tried out guache you definitely should. thrift stores also have some amazing painting things if you go to the right one. Side note; your dog is the cutest & your fiance did an amazing job at giving you a quarantine haircut lol
Hiii!!! I used to paint a lot until I was about 10 years old (2010), I always regretted leaving it but never had the time or the will to try again. Lately with all the craziness in the world my anxiety has been over the roof and I have this really really strong feeling that I have to at least try to come back. Today I have been watching non-stop all your videos and I absolutely adore you!!! This video was specially useful because I don't have absolutely anything from back then and of course I don't really remember what thing were essentials. So, thank you so so much!! I will try to get the materials and start my painting therapy as soon as possible hahaha. I hope you are staying safe
I am a total beginner and have done nothing but gone to a few paint and sips and just really enjoyed it so on a whim I purchased some canvases from micheals and some acrylic paint off amazon and I enjoy makeup so I have some brushes I don't use as well as some art brushes that I used to do face painting...I still need to purchase an adjustable floor easel from amazon but I like your idea of using a sketchbook for practice so I'll get that too...I personally had no idea about soft/medium/heavy body paints so thanks for letting me know cause I totally didn't look at that when I purchased my paint on amazon...its a brand called Gotideal but not even sure what body it is...I think heavy🤷♀️ I have been watching tutorials by a lady name Joni on UA-cam and she sometimes uses a white primer or something to cover the whole canvas before she paints...I think Bob used to do this to but is this a necessity for beginners? I feel when I go to my wine and sips we dive right in and the painting turns out fine idk
I have no idea how I ended up here, Ive been working with acrylics for 10 years now, but good tips!! I would suggest having a varnish as well, especially if you plan on selling your paintings.
OMG I love you, you little ray of sunshine you. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time I was watching your video because you are so darn cute and funny AND I got all the information I wanted to get better equipped as a semi-beginner. Thank you so much for brightening up my day!
Since it’s been a hard time to get paint supplies at local stores, try your near dollar tree, they have at least some paint almost fully stocked up that’s good. But every store is different
I've recwntly been rediscovering my passion for art and I'm excited to try acrylics. This video is super informative and you're awesome. Great job on the vid 💯💖
I just wanted to say thank you and that I love your videos! I came across one the other day and I am currently trying to do the painting! Keep making videos, you rock at it and your voice is so soothing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you. Not only was it great information but you made me laugh. Sam’s had a starter set of paints that wasn’t expensive but I don’t remember if it had brushes. With covid 19, staying in. Be safe, wear a mask. We nurses thank you! ❤️🌺
Good morning and Hello my name is ian huff I just ran across your video here on UA-cam! Gotta say love it! I'm an artist who literally am just getting back into painting again after taking a long break! Anyhow great video very inspiring! Godspeed! 😊
Thank you Emily for sharing this video. It helps a lot Specially for beginners like me. I can’t start painting because I’m too worried of what brand and what are the things I should buy first. ❤️ stay safe.
Hello Emily Macky Art. I paint whit just 2 types of paint brushes. A round hair and the fan brush. They come in a pack of 13 whit different sizes and i orderd mine yesterday. I did had a starter pack of brushes. But i only used the fan brush and a rond hair brush. My new paint brushes have a nice long wooden handels and they are very comfortabel to work whit
Thank you for this!! I'm just starting out, and this was very helpful. And it takes the fear of having to spend a lot of money away, especially with how little colors you really need to start out. A trip to Michaels this weekend it is! 🥰
Your energy is amazing! Thank you for not suggesting we go out and by the entire art store! Quick question on your paintings in your sketchbook, does the paint go through to the next page? Has it got special paper?
I love this video Emily, I am subscribing right now. I was told not to eat or drink in my painting area or while I paint so I don't accidentally ingest paint. I think that is important. Your video is super good and super helpful, thank you.
I am painting whit himi miya gouache. I love these gouache paints. But i wanna try some gouache in bottles. The brand is france and the gouache bottles are a 10000 ml so they would last me a long time. I love you,re paintings and you,re art channel has realy grown😊👍🏾👋🏾
Oh my gosh! I love you, 😂! I’m starting a painting tutorial online, but subscribed here to learn more-thanks, this’ll be fun, and Lord knows we all need mor fun!
As a 59-year-old woman just becoming interested in acrylic painting, you spelled out the basics perfectly! I appreciate it so much!
I don’t even paint anymore idk how I got here but I love this person’s energy
I wanted to like ... but it was at 69 likes and one does not mess with perfection
Me too, I know the stuff she's talking but follow her just because she's entertaining.
@@jumbodog5955 that is right, brother.
i wish i had seen this video before i spent money on things i really didnt need 😭 can you make a essential oil painting tools ? 🥺💘
Join
Good thing I’m watching this before I start painting
Didn't know you could paint with essential oils
@@edzelbalaba7072 😂😂
YES please do oils too that is a minefield 🙃
I would also recommend going to a goodwill, thrift store, or Ross for some supplies. I see a lot of art supplies at Ross for very cheap and I also found the same kind of tabletop easel that Emily has, still in the box, at goodwill for $3.99
Good tip

sтяαωвєяяy_ мıłk i know😩 but im very happy i have some to practice with and some to use on stuff i actually wanna present
At least you don't have to take a long time to figure out the color you want by mixing and blending,, 😆
@@mangakuota122 yeh but then she won’t learn how to mix colours properly

I really love using a slow dry medium in my paints, makes blending much easier if you work slower!
Oh that's a great one to talk about! I'll have to bring that up in a video! Thank you!
Hi I was just about to ask if there is something to slow paint drying, what is the medium called and Emily tell your fiance that she did a great job
@@irishterminator. there are a lot from so many different brands. There are some gels, and a good one I like is liquid retarder. It's thinner but it work so well.
How do you use it? When u put your colors on your palette that u will be working with...put some of this in with it or something?

I honestly find your videos very helpful and love how you explain what we CAN do and not what we SHOULD do.
I'm so glad!
I gave up on painting years ago because I had a lach of materials. at least now I know what to buy. thank you!
I was looking for a video exactly like this because I knew I will forget and watch it again and again. I was worried it was going to get boring. I’ve seen this video like 6 times now and I’m still not bored! So entertaining, thankyouuuu!
A really good brand for acrylic that I use is Masters Touch. It’s heavy body and opaque. It’s dries with a glossy finish
Holy crap you’re amazing... just discovered you’re channel. Just falling in love with painting. I’m a music producer and I have found that painting is actually helping me become a better music producer. Crazy!

Thank you for this. Going to the store and gonna use your tips today when buying some paints.
hi, i'm totally a beginner on acrylics, glad i found your tutorials, you make it seems easy, will start acrylics asap!
Awesome resource! I work in an arts shop so its fantastic to see more amazing guides like these for people starting for the first time!!

I like mod podge or a sealant to preserve your art.
I love paint pens for details as well
Thanks for the advice. It was really helpful.
i'm so thankful for this video, it was super helpful as I start my painting journey. really well done.
Perfekt video!! It would be great if you could do a blending video, like how to build up layers.
I love your videos 🥰
Thank you! I will definitely but those on my video to do list!
Thank you sooo much! I’m thinking about starting on acrylics and this helped me immensely! 😊
Thank you. Not only was it great information but you made me laugh. Sam’s had a starter set of paints that wasn’t expensive but I don’t remember if it had brushes. With covid 19, staying in. Be safe, wear a mask. We nurses thank you! ❤️🌺
Thank you so much Lindy! We are definitely staying super safe here in my household! Lots of love to you for all you do!
Thanks I found your last moment saving video literally I was struggling with supplies from what to buy and what not to buy

hh i was thinking of going out to buy materials but i wasn't sure about what should i buy but now everything is cleaar in my mind thank youuuu
Thank you Emily for sharing this video. It helps a lot Specially for beginners like me. I can’t start painting because I’m too worried of what brand and what are the things I should buy first. ❤️ stay safe.
I am always happy wen i see Emily Macky Art in this video. And she has the cutes little dog
Your energy is stellar, and this video got me to subscribe. Just got back into acrylics and found this video. 💜
I didn’t think of using recycled cardboard to paint on but that’s such a good idea
this video is SO useful! thank you because i don't know where to start at all
Hello Emily Macky Art. I paint whit just 2 types of paint brushes. A round hair and the fan brush. They come in a pack of 13 whit different sizes and i orderd mine yesterday. I did had a starter pack of brushes. But i only used the fan brush and a rond hair brush. My new paint brushes have a nice long wooden handels and they are very comfortabel to work whit
Thank you for this!! I'm just starting out, and this was very helpful. And it takes the fear of having to spend a lot of money away, especially with how little colors you really need to start out. A trip to Michaels this weekend it is! 🥰
Agree about surfaces. I've painted on cardboard (I'm looking at you old Amazon boxes.), glass, even an old beat-up pair of clogs.
I would love to see some kind of mountain landscape 🏔
Your energy is amazing! Thank you for not suggesting we go out and by the entire art store! Quick question on your paintings in your sketchbook, does the paint go through to the next page? Has it got special paper?
Oums thanks for this 🥺 i have everything you said except for the acrylic paint.
If youre from the UK I reccommend hobby craft paints. They are really good!
I love the liquitex basics acrylic paint its not too thick and not too thin. Its my favoriete acrylic paint brand
Such a great video! Really dig your energy, too! Thanks so much for making this! 🤗
I love this video Emily, I am subscribing right now. I was told not to eat or drink in my painting area or while I paint so I don't accidentally ingest paint. I think that is important. Your video is super good and super helpful, thank you.
I am painting whit himi miya gouache. I love these gouache paints. But i wanna try some gouache in bottles. The brand is france and the gouache bottles are a 10000 ml so they would last me a long time. I love you,re paintings and you,re art channel has realy grown😊👍🏾👋🏾
Oh my gosh! I love you, 😂! I’m starting a painting tutorial online, but subscribed here to learn more-thanks, this’ll be fun, and Lord knows we all need mor fun!
