Question:

What type of canvas and brushes should I use with a glossy acrilyc paint?

I am a first time painter, starting as just a hobby. Any tips will help so feel free to offer advice :) Thanks


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'd start out with something inexpensive as far as canvas goes. They make canvas boards where the canvas is basically stretched over thick cardboard; I use those a lot. Once you've developed your style and have more confidence in your work, move on to nicer materials. The same for brushes. Personally I love using hog bristle brushes with acrylic and oil. I also have a few small synthetic rounds and filberts for details. I save my sable brushes for watercolors.
