Acrylic Paint

I was in a art shop stocking up on ink when I saw a set of acrylic paints on sale, I never liked painting at school so I never gave it a try but I decided to give acrylics a go. I don't know if I'm using the paint properly but at the moment my technique is just to put loads of paint onto the paper/cardboard and then layer it until I have an image. I really like the paintings of Andrew Salgado so I'm going to try and do some paintings in his style next.


This is my first acrylic painting;

 This one is still a work in progress (I'm out of paper so I used a bit of cardboard);
