Any links for acrylic painting beginners?

4. Thanks, I went to a class

and have to decide whether to keep it or drop it - and want to see if I can get my head wrapped around some of the technique. We were told to avoid Liquitex basic and were given a series of exercises to make gradients, I think the problem was that it was hard to remember what was done and my notes didn't make that much sense.

There was dry brush technique but now I think that I realize it's not supposed to be scratchy dry just without water. Then wet on wet, still have to figure that out and two more. My tests look really bad so I don't get how to control the paint, or pick the brush, or how much water to use. I think my brush is too big too. It's probably what you said that I have to play with it and practice and it's hard to explain.

If it was just a gradient that might have been doable, it was a gradient but with dry brush, etc. that was confusing. I think that I'll stick with it, now that I bought the supplies!
