Story
So today we paint with acrylics. The paintings with a fairy tale plot will be described first of all. We will need: synthetic brushes, water, a spray bottle, a palette, a rag. To learn how to draw paintings with acrylics on canvas, you must first develop a sketch of the future work, which takes into account all the details. You can take as a basis a ready-made idea or create an original plot.
We make several sketches on paper. We transfer the most successful option with a simple pencil to the canvas. We think over the color scheme and composition. First, use the basic shade on all objects. At this stage, you should not focus on the details, just set the color for our fairy-tale characters.
Now we will look at how to create acrylic paintings on black canvas. Its advantage is that all objects stand out against such a background. You can immediately see how well thought out the composition is. If necessary, its individual elements can be changed. We color everything. We begin to draw individual details. First, set the lights and shadows. Then we add patterns and small elements. To simulate the color longer and create the most smooth transitions between shades, spray the canvas with water. It is important not to let the paint dry. Brushes should be washed thoroughly. We emphasize and emphasize small elements. That's all.

Getting to the image of flowers. We make them from a mixture of red and a small percentage of brown. Draw the petals. We achieve maximum expressiveness of color. In this case, magnolia can be depicted schematically, slightly moving away from their natural form.
Still life
Consider another example. We are writing a still life. Create a light beige background . Use thick paint. At the edges of our canvas, leave a frame that is not painted over by anything. Create a texture. We work with the frame. We make it as voluminous as possible.
We draw herbs, also pears. Create the main flower pot. It will suit a bright blue tint. First, apply the background. We mark most of the subject with a dark shade. Add light. Next, we note bright highlights, as well as patterns. We turn to creating potted flowers. Between the flowerpots, scatter pears. We give them different shades. We specify the shape of our windowsill, on which the flowers are located. We place accents. Add shadows and highlights to each object. That's all.
