Summary: Painting is the art of using a pigmented medium to create a picture of reality filtered through the imagination, the senses, emotions, and life experience. Artists the world over have multiplied the uses of painting as a vital mode of human expression, whether recording history, retelling myth and legend, expressing religious fervor, or exploring the unknown. From early history to the present, we have records of men and women making graphic representations of their world, showing their understanding and their curiosity.
Acrylic painting has come on the scene in the last 50 years as a popular medium for artists who like to work quickly and prefer not to wait the long periods of time it takes oil paint to dry. Although not a replacement for oil paints, acrylic paints have also proved to be immune to yellowing and cracking over time.

In this free acrylic painting tutorial, learn the basics of how to paint, with acrylic painting tips and techniques for beginners, including painting instructions and an acrylic painting demonstration.
