When painting with acrylic paints, what should I start painting first?
I've searched all over the internet for an answer to this but all I keep coming up with are techniques on how to mix colors for acrylic painting! I really want to know how I should start painting my image. It's a portrait of one of my closest friends. Should I paint the background of the canvas board first or her face or her hair?? Please help!

From what I have experienced and observed in painting, I think you should start painting the face part, then the hair, lastly the background. If you are going to paint the other way around, I think the face and the hair will be messy. Smile

Acrylics dry rapidly, you need to work fast if you wish to blend colors. If you're working on paper, dampening the paper will increase your working time.
