Start Art Magazine

Welcome to this special on how to paint with acrylics, aimed at the absolute beginner. From knowing which materials to buy and how
to apply your first brushstroke, to practising essential techniques and colour mixing, Start Art: Acrylics will take you every step of the
way to producing your first finished paintings.

And we don’t stop there. Find extra printed material, practical
how-to videos and demonstrations – all produced by experienced teachers, to offer you more support and inspiration as you work through the exercises and demonstrations on the following pages. As you will find out, Start Art: Acrylics is not simply a magazine, but part of a much larger offering that’s here to help and support you. We’re passionate about teaching you to draw and paint successfully, and you will find more practical help on our website, Painters Online, alongside our print and digital magazine: Leisure Painter & The Artist.
