Leave space on your palette
Paint and sip San Antonio is one you’ll thank your future self for! Although we know how tempting it can be to have all of the possibilities for your paint palette, it’s better to leave some space. The space we have allows us the freedom to mix and combine new colours during sessions. This makes it easy to bring in a new colour if you are inspired. It saves you unnecessary paint waste.
-
Mix a few drops of paint at the same time
This tip continues the one that was mentioned earlier. Mixing paint in small quantities is the best way to make room for different colours. Sometimes, you will need to mix more. This is when you are filing a background. You will be guided by your artist. It’s better to begin with a little paint then mix it as needed.
-
Let your paint dry between steps
Acrylic paint dries quickly when applied thinly. You can paint over any acrylic paint that has dried to change or add anything to your painting. Also, highlights and brighter colours will stand out better on a dry surface.
-
Add water into your paint
Water is something we love! It keeps us well hydrated between the wines. Acrylic paint is thick and dense by itself. But when we add water, it thins and stretches, allowing the paint flow more freely onto the canvas. To make your paint spread more evenly on your canvas, add a few drops of water and mix it in. It’s the same for painting an edge that is fuzzy. You can mix water with your paint to help smoothen out any fuzzies. To achieve the desired effect for the textural effect that you desire, add a little water to each coat of paint.
-
Step back from your canvas
Who would have thought that one little step could make all the difference? If you take a step away from your canvas, it can help to see the entire piece from a different viewpoint. It’s easy, when we’re just inches away from the painting, to be critical. But it’s easier to see the whole thing from afar. It’s easier and more efficient to view the whole painting. This will allow you to better assess how the composition is working. It is also fun to enjoy a joyous tour of the room and see what your fellow artists are making. Your eyes will be sharper and clearer when you return to the studio.

Enjoy the process
Sip and paint sessions should be fun. They are about connecting with your fellow artists and sharing your creativity. If you can let go any expectations about yourself and the final result, it will make the experience much more enjoyable. Let your artist guide you. Although you may experience some creative roadblocks, that is perfectly normal. Take time to be kind to yourself.
