Wow! That really looks like a shiny gold bar. This tutorial will help greatly while painting shiny, Christmas ornaments paintings too. 🙂

I've got myself few acrylic paints lately, but they dry up super fast.. any tips regarding that? Thank you in advance

Great that you're starting to paint with acrylics! In regard to your question I've made a blog about that: www.toon-nagtegaal.com/blog/how-to-keep-acrylic-paint-from-drying-on-palette/ But also I must say that you get used to it when you build experience. For example, beginners often don't put enough paint on the palette. It's a bit counter intuitive, but more paint on the palette provides for less errors and longer drying times (because bigger piles of paint dry slower). And with some experience you'll get a feel for it and you don't waste much paint. Almost all beginners with acrylics struggle a bit with this. Just keep going, and it will gradually become less of a problem 👍👍🎨
