Plan ahead<\/strong><\/h3><p>&#8220;Fail to plan, plan to fail&#8221;, as the timeworn expression goes. What is true in life is also true in painting. if you are unsure how to handle a part of a painting, take time to plan how you are going to tackle it. It is time well spent if you are going to have a successful result.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-practice-makes-perfect\"><strong>2. Practice makes perfect<\/strong><\/h3><p>Practice! More practice! And yet more practice! Such an approach seems to go without saying but it&#8217;s so very true. Improvement goes hand in hand with regular practice, even if you can manage only 10 &#8211; 15 minutes sometimes. Elements such as repetitive brushstrokes and colour mixing  will help develop your skills like no other activity. But, remember to enjoy the process, don&#8217;t be frightened of making mistakes!. Consider every mistake you make a learning process and get it right next time.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-become-familiar-with-the-materials\"><strong>3. Become familiar with the materials<\/strong><\/h3><p>Oils, water colours, acrylics, all behave differently so it&#8217;s important that you get to know the properties of each. In addition, you should learn how to create a proper painting surface in relation to the medium you are using. This knowledge will help how to improve your painting skills and imbue you with confidence going forward.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jilljones.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oil-paints-consistency-paste-variety-colors-brushes.webp?resize=480%2C358&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to improve your painting skills: acrylic paints\" class=\"wp-image-14445\" width=\"480\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jilljones.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oil-paints-consistency-paste-variety-colors-brushes.webp?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jilljones.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oil-paints-consistency-paste-variety-colors-brushes.webp?resize=324%2C243&amp;ssl=1 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Acrylic paints<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-simplify\"><strong>4.
