    I've never had any real training, so everything I do is from trial and error. I have been working from the lightest to the darkest, now I guess I'll try it the other way around. I also usually only use one or two brushes for a painting, large flat for big areas of color and a round brush for details and highlights. The round brush can have a nice little point or can hold a larger amount of color. Now I have two new things to try! Thanks for the tips

    so ive been painting for four years with acrylics and i just realized yesterday while doing a portrait that for some like me that works on canvas more often fabric paint is similar to acrylic although fabric paint glides and blends more easily compared to acrylics, looking forward for u and some people to try it, pretty much a life saver since my paints dry fast
