Acrylic Painting: Sweet Pea Posted by Purple Ink , Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 8:14 AM, in Purple Tags: acrylic painting, Artsy Tuesday, painting, sweet pea

After a few months of saving up for acrylics paints, I managed to buy a few sets. I also decided to buy some illustration boards and a few yards of canvass cloth so that I can customize the shape and size of my canvass. A primer is also essential that is why I’ve spent up to the last penny that I’ve got in my pocket to complete all the materials that I need.


Here's how I prepared my canvass.

1. Cut out the illustration boards into your desired size or shape.

“A gorgeous intruder!” she rolled her eyes, taking a seat on the foot of my bed. “So sorry to wake you up princess, but its almost nine.”
