Essential Acrylic Painting Supplies! (Beginners)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2020
- This is a video for all you folks out there that want to get into acrylic painting but have no idea where to start or what materials and supplies you should have to get started! Have no fear, because in this video I break down the essential acrylic painting supplies you need to get started on your painting journey. I also talk about some supplies and materials I like to use that aren't essential, but definitely helpful while painting.
If you haven't done any painting before and want to learn how to paint and maybe try out some of my painting tutorial videos, figuring out what you need is a great place to start. In this video I really focused on how to keep art supplies inexpensive. A lot of people think painting comes with a big cost, but it is actually very easy to be on a budget and to paint as a regular hobby!
If you have watched any of my painting tutorial I usually do a quick over view of what supplies I'm using, but this video goes way more in depth on things like "what brand of paint should you use" and "what kinds of brushes should I have?" etc.
If you have any questions on art supplies or acrylics or anything that might be on your mind, let me know in the comments below! I try and get to as many as I possibly can.
Thanks for hanging with me!

Thank you so much Hailey!
Пидервст!!?¿
THKSS
You will need:
Brushes
Paint (primary colors to start off)
Surface to paint on
Water (in jar or cup)
Paper towels
Palette knife (optional but I would highly recommend)
Gesso (optional but i would highly recommend)
That’s it! 😁
bro u saved me to watch a whole 10min video tnks
Whats primary colour
Primary colours are the colours :- blue,red,yellow. And use black and white also lol
@@zarichtherich i mean the codes thing? :V
What is gesso please?
I would also recommend going to a goodwill, thrift store, or Ross for some supplies. I see a lot of art supplies at Ross for very cheap and I also found the same kind of tabletop easel that Emily has, still in the box, at goodwill for $3.99
Good tip
i wish i had seen this video before i spent money on things i really didnt need 😭 can you make a essential oil painting tools ? 🥺💘
Join
Good thing I’m watching this before I start painting
Didn't know you could paint with essential oils
@@edzelbalaba7072 😂😂
YES please do oils too that is a minefield 🙃
BE AWARE YOU SHOULD NOT DUMP ACRYLIC PAINT DOWN YOUR DRAINS. In small amounts, it'll probably be okay, but acrylic paint hardens into plastic once it's dry and can build up and clog the drain. I live in an apartment where if you so much as drop an eyelash down the drain, it'll back up for a week, so I don't take chances with my paint.
I use a paper plate as a palette, and because of the buildup of acrylic paint, I can use it over and over again. I've had mine for about two years now, and it's still in good condition. To keep the paint from drying up if I think I'll use it again in a day or two, I set the plate on top of a damp washrag and cover the plate. When I'm finished with the paint, I either spread it around the plate to let it dry (and it makes interesting splash designs on the plate), or I wipe it clean with a paper towel and throw it in the trash. That way none of it goes down the drain to clog it.
:0 holy shit thats scary
Thank you for this!
Thank you so much!
i use a paper plate as a pallete for oil and acrylic paints
Thanku so much
me watching you say “you dont need to spend a lot you just need 4 colors and a couple of brushes” after spending 150 dollars on 64 colors, brushes and canvases: 🙃🙃🙃
That is A LOT of colors 😮
sтяαωвєяяy_ мıłk i know😩 but im very happy i have some to practice with and some to use on stuff i actually wanna present
At least you don't have to take a long time to figure out the color you want by mixing and blending,, 😆
@@mangakuota122 yeh but then she won’t learn how to mix colours properly
Working mainly with watercolors I was surprised at how inexpensive acrylics are 😂 but yeah you're like me... I spent 600 bucks on oils a few months ago and only touched them once bc they overwhelmed me from having so much to work with haha
This is an awesome video. My small advice would be use two water cups, literally one to rinse of the paint and one to rinse off that "dirty" water. It just keeps your palette and painting from getting muddy.
Other tips: cover your paints with plastic if you're coming back to them so they don't dry out.
DO NOT leave your brushes soaking with the water above the metal part. Water will get in there and make the wood swell and crack your brush or make the glue fall off. You can also damage the brush if they're soft bristles by leaving it to soak and having the weight of the brush on the bristles. It bends the brush.
Make a color wheel
Remember that acrylic can paint on almost anything so get creative with your canvases. Old pieces of wood, plastic, cardboard (not too wet).
I’ve been in therapy for a while for some things I’ve been dealing with. When I was a kid I painted all the time with crappy crayola paint because tht was all we could afford lol and that was the happiest I’ve ever been. Then life happened..and my muse was lost. This video inspired me to create again!🥰 thank you ❣️
Hi! I'm an artist and I'm 13 years old. I've been painting for around 2 years. I wasn't in painting before because my country's education system sucks. There was no art support in my previous school nor for sports too but then one day I changed my school and this one is better. There isn't sports support too but they teach art luckily. As there has been Covid from last probably 2 years. I haven't gone to my new school till now... So there were our online art classes and the teacher didn't teach us anything about art... They just give us assignment like draw a beautiful scenery... No teaching how and what to... They just used to throw assignments with time alloted... As I had zero art experience... I surfed it on internet (Mainly RUclips) and my first drawing went out pretty nice and that gave me a kick to start... My first drawing was made with many materials like wax colours, plastic crayons, oil pastels, sketch pens etc. and most were of my cousin's... And I did many assignments with many more materials and gained some experience about ART and now there aren't art classes anymore in this standard... So I started painting by my own... At first I tried many styles like doing crayons, sketches, oil pastels, mandala and others but nothing was my thing and after a while I came into painting I tried Water colours, Poster colours, Gouche, Oils but nothing worked then I came to know about acrylics and I gave them a try and that became my thing... *I'm an acrylic artist now and it's been around two years and I still use a Paper Plate as a Palette, Primary Kit of acrylic paints, Tissue Papers but when I run out of them I prefer taking a sponge or a cloth, Flat and Round brushes only...I use a flat brush for blending and background and round brush's for lining, filling etc. as putting more or less pressure... And regular papers like A4 size sheets as a surface to paint on... And I use cello tape as a masking tape after applying it over some surface and peeling it off and repeating the process until it feels like has lost some gum and will not damage the paper and most of the times I apply it directly and use it* ... And I shared it all just to show you guys some hacks or diy's kind of so that you'll understand that you don't need any expensive material to make an art piece... Only skills matter:)
Listen... Where have you been 3 months ago? Why did I just find you?
.. you're the first down to earth, super simple explaining everything without filling the content with useless extra information RUclipsr. You're awesome! I sincerely thank you!
Using watercolor sketchbook for acrylic painting. This is a great tip. Thanks a lot for the informative video ❤️
No one, I bet no one ever talked about the hydration part, it's so essential! Literally cursed myself two days ago for not hydrating!
You're unique and amazing ♥️ Thank you much for being yourself throughout and for helping us! 😊
So I'm trying to get into acrylic painting, went to the art store thinking I knew what I needed to get but then realized I had no idea what I needed after looking at the billion different types of brushes and stuff.
So this is very helpful. Thanks!
I really love using a slow dry medium in my paints, makes blending much easier if you work slower!
Oh that's a great one to talk about! I'll have to bring that up in a video! Thank you!
Hi I was just about to ask if there is something to slow paint drying, what is the medium called and Emily tell your fiance that she did a great job
@@irishterminator. there are a lot from so many different brands. There are some gels, and a good one I like is liquid retarder. It's thinner but it work so well.
How do you use it? When u put your colors on your palette that u will be working with...put some of this in with it or something?
@@ashleycarnes6068 You can use it in different ways, you can mix in directly into your paints on your palette, or you can get some on your brush to blend on the canvas, but only a little if you are doing that!
OMG that is the best art video I ever seen.I am eleven and I am obsessed with acrylic paint 🎨 love you😍😍😍😍😍
I always like giving border to my paintings to give it a more cleaner look. That's why I always use magic tape. Thank you so much for these types of tutorials.💜
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️ Im just thinking about how to start painting
Hooray! I'm glad this video came at the right time for you!
Hi can u please post a link u got your brushes from and paint and knives from i am a beginner idk where to start i been looking at videoes
This is so useful, thank you SO MUCH! Super informative and simple, like all your other videos :))
Congratulations on being creator of the day, you absolutely deserve it. More power to you! 💕
Yay! Thank you so so much!
Nice profile
I love your personality so much, so colorful! I loved how you showed the basics that are needed to just start but was amazed and never thought about recycle bin diving for objects to paint on. I went out and garbed my pizza delivery box and made two cardboard canvas to paint on .
You’re cute,, you look like u ran away from one of Tim burton’s movies❤️❤️❤️💘
I LOVE THIS COMMENT! Thank you so much!
Holy crap you’re amazing... just discovered you’re channel. Just falling in love with painting. I’m a music producer and I have found that painting is actually helping me become a better music producer. Crazy!
I've been using an old hand held dust pan I never really used as a palette. It's got little ridges which helps prevent colors from running into each other when I inevitably hold it at an angle
I didn't even watched the video til the end before liking it because I just love your energy ! AND you give really solid advices !
OMG I love you, you little ray of sunshine you. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time I was watching your video because you are so darn cute and funny AND I got all the information I wanted to get better equipped as a semi-beginner. Thank you so much for brightening up my day!
I was looking for a video exactly like this because I knew I will forget and watch it again and again. I was worried it was going to get boring. I’ve seen this video like 6 times now and I’m still not bored! So entertaining, thankyouuuu!
Omg I’m so glad I found your video!!!! After wanting to paint my whole life, I’m actually going for it now! 🖤 Thanks!
I started painting and I got the basics and then I noticed I just started buying a bunch of different hues of blue blue is my favorite 💙 I appreciate that you also use different hues of blue in your standard set up
I gave up on painting years ago because I had a lach of materials. at least now I know what to buy. thank you!
I don't have white paint-
"mmoooooOOOOOMMM I NEED TO GO TO THE ART STORE AGAAAAIIINNNN"
Hiii!!! I used to paint a lot until I was about 10 years old (2010), I always regretted leaving it but never had the time or the will to try again. Lately with all the craziness in the world my anxiety has been over the roof and I have this really really strong feeling that I have to at least try to come back. Today I have been watching non-stop all your videos and I absolutely adore you!!! This video was specially useful because I don't have absolutely anything from back then and of course I don't really remember what thing were essentials. So, thank you so so much!! I will try to get the materials and start my painting therapy as soon as possible hahaha. I hope you are staying safe
Mariana Rodrigo wow impressive for google translate. What language do you speak though?
My parents got me acrylics and an easel for my birthday yesterday and I was worried because I thought I didn't have anything to paint on but omg I have an old sketchbook that I never used and I didn't know that could work! you've certainly solved my doubts. Thank you so much, I'll look forward to more videos since im just starting to get into painting 🥰
Finally someone who is an artist and has a great sense of humor I can actually watch your video fully 😅🥰💚
"and I put coffee in it, dont tell my mom!" Yes love that 😂
A really good brand for acrylic that I use is Masters Touch. It’s heavy body and opaque. It’s dries with a glossy finish
Omg she's so cute ! Does she know that she's so cute 😂🖤 and informative actually, thank you sm .
Id go to other videos and they give me really expensive materials to use .. and it just goes with me the real artist and do great art with any material you can give to them so thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video. I am getting so inspired by watching you paint and talk so happy & bubbly, I am considering getting some acrylic paint!
One thing to keep in mind if you do start with acrylic paints is that they dry rly fast and I would recommend buying some retarder( Ik the names sketch) which helps make your paint dry less quickly.
I love using Canson mixed media sketchbooks for my acrylic work because it doesn't warp at all. I also found that I enjoy spiral sketchbooks more because I don't have to break the spine so the book stays flat. I have followed some of your tutorials for acrylics with my own little guache set and I love, love it! if you haven't tried out guache you definitely should. thrift stores also have some amazing painting things if you go to the right one.
Side note; your dog is the cutest & your fiance did an amazing job at giving you a quarantine haircut lol
Thank you for this. Going to the store and gonna use your tips today when buying some paints.
I dont know but you give off so much warm vibesss . Thank you so much for this vid, I'm definitely following everything you just said ❤️❤️
I am a total beginner and have done nothing but gone to a few paint and sips and just really enjoyed it so on a whim I purchased some canvases from micheals and some acrylic paint off amazon and I enjoy makeup so I have some brushes I don't use as well as some art brushes that I used to do face painting...I still need to purchase an adjustable floor easel from amazon but I like your idea of using a sketchbook for practice so I'll get that too...I personally had no idea about soft/medium/heavy body paints so thanks for letting me know cause I totally didn't look at that when I purchased my paint on amazon...its a brand called Gotideal but not even sure what body it is...I think heavy🤷♀️ I have been watching tutorials by a lady name Joni on RUclips and she sometimes uses a white primer or something to cover the whole canvas before she paints...I think Bob used to do this to but is this a necessity for beginners? I feel when I go to my wine and sips we dive right in and the painting turns out fine idk
I've recwntly been rediscovering my passion for art and I'm excited to try acrylics. This video is super informative and you're awesome. Great job on the vid 💯💖
Good morning and Hello my name is ian huff I just ran across your video here on RUclips! Gotta say love it! I'm an artist who literally am just getting back into painting again after taking a long break! Anyhow great video very inspiring! Godspeed! 😊
I’m going out tomorrow to buy these necessities and give painting a try for the first time ever! I’m excited! Thank you for these tips! ❤️
hi, i'm totally a beginner on acrylics, glad i found your tutorials, you make it seems easy, will start acrylics asap!
Awesome resource! I work in an arts shop so its fantastic to see more amazing guides like these for people starting for the first time!!
That is such an awesome job! I always thought I'd really enjoy working in an art store. Maybe I will someday! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Your tutorial is absolutely "artilicious"!
I just wanted to say thank you and that I love your videos! I came across one the other day and I am currently trying to do the painting! Keep making videos, you rock at it and your voice is so soothing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
You have that free spirit of an artist and I love that. Great tips.... Not boring to watch ❤💐 Keep up the good work 👏 👏
Canvas’s
I like mod podge or a sealant to preserve your art.
I love paint pens for details as well
That you for clearing up the paint brand question that issue was driving me nuts….especially when I try to follow the reviews.
Not a beginner thing, but mediums/gels/pastes are a GAME CHANGER for acrylic painting!
I have no idea how I ended up here, Ive been working with acrylics for 10 years now, but good tips!! I would suggest having a varnish as well, especially if you plan on selling your paintings.
Thank you Emily for your informative and engaging video! I woke up today wanting to start painting and your video has helped set me on my course
Hey - You have some great cloud paintings in the back!
This was super, super helpful. I’ve never really painted before. Thank you.
So happy i found your page! Obsessed with everything! Thank you
I am always happy wen i see Emily Macky Art in this video. And she has the cutes little dog
Oh my gosh! I love you, 😂! I’m starting a painting tutorial online, but subscribed here to learn more-thanks, this’ll be fun, and Lord knows we all need mor fun!
Thank you so much!!! I wanted to make miniature paintings of Bob Ross' creations and give them to my friends for Christmas. This will really help already 🥰❤️
Thank you now I’m soooo excited to try!! I have so many recycled boxes under my sink 🤣 yay!
I love how you explain things and these beginner tutorials of yours are really helpful. Thank you sooo much!
Perfekt video!! It would be great if you could do a blending video, like how to build up layers.
I love your videos 🥰
Thank you! I will definitely but those on my video to do list!
Thank you so much for great video! Just starting my first painting ever and super exited about it! 😊👍🏻
Beginner here! I am interested in getting the wet kind of palette so the paints don't dry out! Great video!
I love the way you use the plate for mixing your paints. And you gave me an idea.
I don't have a palette knife but I have a butter spreader, that I think will work perfectly.
Since it’s been a hard time to get paint supplies at local stores, try your near dollar tree, they have at least some paint almost fully stocked up that’s good. But every store is different
Hello Emily Macky Art. I paint whit just 2 types of paint brushes. A round hair and the fan brush. They come in a pack of 13 whit different sizes and i orderd mine yesterday. I did had a starter pack of brushes. But i only used the fan brush and a rond hair brush. My new paint brushes have a nice long wooden handels and they are very comfortabel to work whit
Thank you! Now off to the store! Excited to start on my canvas art 🌷🌷
I love this! I'm always telling people they only need 5 colours to start and they look at me like I'm crazy
I Love you RUclips videos about acrylic paints I am just getting in to it thank-you for inspiring me more of this sort of thing !!
Thank you. Not only was it great information but you made me laugh. Sam’s had a starter set of paints that wasn’t expensive but I don’t remember if it had brushes. With covid 19, staying in. Be safe, wear a mask. We nurses thank you! ❤️🌺
Thank you so much Lindy! We are definitely staying super safe here in my household! Lots of love to you for all you do!
I love this video Emily, I am subscribing right now. I was told not to eat or drink in my painting area or while I paint so I don't accidentally ingest paint. I think that is important. Your video is super good and super helpful, thank you.
Thank you for helping us beginners out.
So glad it was helpful, Jen!
Fan brush is my fav 😅 I also took a part a old picture Frame and used the glass lol
Gonna go with acrylic over oil paint. Seems a lot cheaper to get started
Your chaotic energy is amazing i love it
Thank you for this!! I'm just starting out, and this was very helpful. And it takes the fear of having to spend a lot of money away, especially with how little colors you really need to start out. A trip to Michaels this weekend it is! 🥰
I am painting whit himi miya gouache. I love these gouache paints. But i wanna try some gouache in bottles. The brand is france and the gouache bottles are a 10000 ml so they would last me a long time. I love you,re paintings and you,re art channel has realy grown😊👍🏾👋🏾
I'm pretty much a beginner and always frustrated when it comes to clouds 😭
you make it easy..
thank you so much💜
Omgosh i found a timmy fan😇😎. Haha

Thank 🙏 you for the tips Emily, exactly 👍 what I needed to know.

I had a good time listening to you. I've learned a lot and took all the worries in starting a new hobby. Keep it up, God bless you 💖 ❤ 💓 🙏
If youre from the UK I reccommend hobby craft paints. They are really good!
I have everything, yay! I love that easel, I have the same one, so easy to put away. Great video!
Oums thanks for this 🥺 i have everything you said except for the acrylic paint.
I use mirco fiber cloth. You can put it in the wash machine wen its filthy. I love micro fiber cloths. Super good for acrylic paint. And you don,t waste any paper.
Emily I hope your channel grows rapidly as it is growing now . It may be a long comment but it is from the bottom of my heart . You know i have to watch your videos 2 times cause once to see your beautiful paintings and the next time to see the beautiful talent you have (to smile😁 and make us smile 😊😊😊😊😊😊) and at the end a question

Thanks I found your last moment saving video literally I was struggling with supplies from what to buy and what not to buy
Thank you sooo much! I’m thinking about starting on acrylics and this helped me immensely! 😊
I use the end of the paint brush to mix paint with instead of the bristled side. My tip for everyone! 😉
Blessings to you and your viewers!
i'm so thankful for this video, it was super helpful as I start my painting journey. really well done.
