When artists decide to paint, they will need to decide on the best medium. This can be oil paints or pastels. It can also be acrylics. Realistic artists will often turn to oil paints. Abstract artists often use acrylics. There are many different techniques that can be applied when you are using acrylic paints. You can also use oil paints on top of the acrylics.

Colors are usually kept to a minimum. Minimal paintings have also become popular. Many people who have the minimalistic theme in their home in terms of decor, will use these types of paintings. They will combine well. One should not use more than four colors. However, you can use different tones and this is what makes a difference.

You can also focus on using colors that are suitable. For example, you have to know what colors red go with. Colors that clash are going to ruin the painting.
