Do you really need to prime cardboard before painting? I'm comparing primed VS unprimed cardboard with opaque acrylic paints. I made a video previously about how I prepare cardboard for painting by priming it with gesso and why you might want to do that. In this video I'm testing if you really have to prime it by showing you a comparison of painting on primed and unprimed cardboard with acrylics and seeing if the results look different or not and whether I'll contradict what I said in that video. I'm also painting cute owls in fantasy colors.

How to clean an acrylic paint palette. Is your plastic palette covered with dried acrylic paint? I'll show you how to clean it. The palette I'm using is from Ikea and it has the letters PP and it's made out of polypropylene. To get the dry acrylic paint to peel off, I'm simply soaking the palette in hot water. Leave it in till you notice the acrylic starts peeling off. I previously made a video trying to clean a polystyrene plastic palette from dried acrylic in different ways and it did not work this well, so pay attention to what type of palette you use for acrylics. I often use little containers I can close to keep the paint wet longer, since acrylic dries so fast. I might also put the palette inside a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge if I have leftover paint and want to continue the painting the next day. I collect the dried acrylic paint pieces into a glass jar, but I don't know what to do with them. If you have any suggestions on what to do with these colorful pieces of dried acrylic or what type of palettes work well with acrylic paints, please do share them in the comments.

How to varnish an acrylic painting on canvas and why you should protect your paintings. Should you varnish acrylic paintings on canvas or canvas board? Can you varnish paintings on paper?

I'll show you how I varnish my acrylic paintings, go through my supplies and technique and tell you why I varnish some paintings and not others. The supplies and tools I use for varnishing my acrylic paintings are listed below.

How to paint colorful trees with acrylics using art supplies (Mala or Måla paint brushes and paints) from Ikea. I'm painting children's book illustration style trees on primed cardboard, scanning the painting, editing in GIMP and arranging the trees into a seamlessly repeating pattern to create a colorful forest of leafy trees. I'm showing you how to paint these cute and colorful trees step by step in this acrylic painting tutorial for beginners and opening the #Ikea paint and paint brush sets, showing you the contents, testing them out and reviewing them. You can also see the difference between painting on unprimed cardboard and painting on primed cardboard, because I tried painting the trees on both surfaces. This tree pattern is now available in my Redbubble shop on different products like wall art, clocks, stickers, notebooks, mugs and pillows. You can check them out through the link below.
