wanted to share some of my ‘go-to’ art hacks 🎨👩🏼🎨🔸freezing the leftover acrylic paint on my paint pallet - throw the whole pallet in the freezer, thaw to reuse - works better with glossier finishes, mattes are a ‘give or take’ 🔸wrapping my “panned” pallets with plastic wrap, before use, for easy clean up 🔸drawing things and checking the accuracy by flipping my pad/canvas upside down🔸drawing in a dark (dim) room to get a better feel of highlight placement and shadows🔸sketching with a frixion erasable pen/marker - use a hairdryer to completely remove your sketch - even disappears under watercolors or water-based paints/markers, and pencils🔸when centering a piece with words or lettering, count the number of letters, including spaces, find the center letter, and use that in the center of your paper, work your way outwards 🔸 (as weird as this sounds, don’t judge me lol) water-based personal lubricant makes for a great medium to add to fast-drying acrylic paintsi wanna hear all your favorite hacks! 👂🌈
