I fell in love with acrylics and they are my favorite medium. I first use them when I was taking painting lessons at a young age. Acrylics are not too expensive, which was a good thing because I’m not that rich of a person, and they are easy to use. On the painting lessons, I have learned a few things, but for me, being self-taught is better because I have learned much more in making art when being taught by myself than by a teacher. They gave some rules in painting but I end up breaking them after the painting lessons. Don’t get me wrong thought, if I didn’t take painting lessons, I was never would have known the basics, the shadows and highlights, the types of brushes and the use of a canvas and an easel. I should know them before making art professionally. Acrylics dry very quickly, but I’m used to it. Those acrylics on the picture are cheap kinds of brand and Reeves brands are the ones that I could mostly find here in the Philippines.
