Often people will spend too much time just doing the main object of their composition and they are not going to think about the background until they are all the way done and it becomes much more difficult to accomplish. It is a much better idea for you to start with the background first. With acrylics you will be layering everything upwards, which means that you are going to be painting from the back of the picture to the front because this is the easiest. You should start with the medium value colors in the back and then follow this with your darkest colors and leave the brightest for the last in order to have the easiest application.

Add the background details

When it comes to your colors you need to make sure to do it in the right order. You should start out with the medium colors and then add on the darker colors before adding on the lighter colors. This can make the process easier to do because it can be hard to paint over your dark colors with one that is lighter so working your colors this way would be difficult.

Use different techniques for details

When you have taken the time to add in the basic shapes and colors that you want, it is time to add in the details that are needed. It is a good idea to use some different techniques of painting when you are working on these details. These will each help to
