I found some tips and techniques on pinterest. If you want to paint outdoors, bring a spray bottle and lightly spritz your paint every once and awhile to keep your paints from drying out too quickly. Stencils are a great tool for making patterns. To make a smooth and soft stencil look, use the bottom of a make-up sponge. Glazing liquid and be mixed with your paint and applied over bright colors to push them back a layer.
Supports are simply what you paint on. It could be wood, canvas, or paper. Canvas and paper can be rolled up for transport, but wood does not wrinkle or fold.
Grounds act as a prep for your painting surface. It ensures you have an even surface and color to work with. It could be an acrylic gesso, painting gel, or a base layer of paint.
A make-up sponge, a mop brush, and an angled brush can be tools in painting and you can wash them after use with water. Rinse brushes, and some soap on the brush can help align the fibers and preserve the brush. Also, use a paper towel to blot brushes while in use to prevent water drops on your work.
