So many people want to paint, but they think that they can't because they weren't born with the artistic talent that other people have. If that describes you, we have good news!
Painting is a skill that can be learned, one simple technique at a time. Acrylic painting is not a skill that is only for those lucky enough to be born with talent. With the right tools and a few simple techniques, anyone can create something that makes them proud. Acrylic painting is perfect for beginners. Let's cover three super simple techniques that'll take your paintings up a notch!
BLENDING
For a sky, we recommend side-to-side strokes, switching from one color to another without rinsing your brush in between. If you notice a lot of canvas texture showing, put more paint on your brush. If your painting starts to look muddy, simply finish the section you are on, let it dry, and come back to it with another layer, where you can make any adjustments you like!
These three paintings will give you the perfect opportunity to practice this skill!
Here are three paintings that utilize this type of background!

STIPPLING
If your colors overlap and blend as you go, you're doing it right! If you see a lot of the canvas showing through between your dabs of color, keep layering. You'll be amazed at how gorgeous your trees will be and how quickly they will come together!
Practice your stippling with these three paintings!
CLOUDS
If some of your sky color mixes with your white for your clouds, let it! All this will do is add to the texture. Perfectly bright, white clouds with no color in them will look less realistic, so embrace the blending!
