• Flowers. Flowers are a great subject for a beginner acrylic painter to work with. For one thing, they're a forgiving topic — it's simple to "get" that a painted object is a flower, even if it's not exactly accurate.
• Silhouettes. Silhouettes, especially those inspired by nature, can be a fun way to practice your acrylic painting skills. A delicate multicolored gradient shapes the piece's background, and a dark outline of a tree takes up the foreground in the above painting.
• Still life. While it might seem that still-life paintings are best left to the master painters of the 18th century, they are a style that is accessible to even the most inexperienced painters.
• 3-D Shapes. If painting actual objects in a still life seem too much of a challenge, try painting shapes instead. This simple painting concept will serve as a springboard for more complex still-life paintings.

There are three main types of paint: watercolor, acrylic, and oil. These paints have different methods and procedures for you to master. If you do this, you may be able to create your own "Mona Lisa" one day.

Watercolor painting. Watercolor painting is cheap, so it's easy to explore. They are thin transparent paints usually applied to paper. Paint is somewhat difficult to use because it changes shape as it dries. 

Acrylics. Acrylic is useful for beginners. They are thicker than watercolor paints, so they are easy to use. They are thick, easy to mix with other colors, and easy to control when painting.

Oils. Oil is the thickest paint and the easiest to control. They take several days to dry, so you can use the paint for hours to get the desired image. Once applied to the canvas, you can easily use other colors for a long time and change their form and texture. 

1. Paint the canvas with the background color of your choice. 
2. Arrange your quotes on the canvas. 
3.  Place the carbon paper face down under each word. 
4.  Use a ballpoint pen to trace up the letters. 
5. Use a small paintbrush to paint within the lines with contrasting colors. 
6.  Remove all remaining pencil marks.

Here's an overview of seven popular painting styles in no particular order.

• Realism Art.

It is the style of art most viewed as "real art." This is because it tries to portray the subject as it actually appears in real life, but it stops appearing like a photograph.

• Photorealism Art.

Super realism, sharp focus realism, and hyperrealism are art styles where the artwork looks really like a photograph. The illusion of reality is so minutely fine-tuned that the painting looks exactly like a large, sharply-focused photograph of a canvas or other painting medium.

• Painting art style.

 This is an artistic style characterized by visible brushstrokes and residual textures in the paint medium. You can use oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, or any medium that uses a brush to make art with this artistic style. Early painters made great efforts to eliminate brushstrokes or textures from their paintings and mixing paint in the past.

• Painting Impressionism.

It's a painting style with the appearance of being rough and unfinished and characterized by small, thin, visible brushstrokes. The subject matter is usually common and ordinary subjects, emphasizing the accurate representation of light.

• Abstract Art.

Art (also called modern or contemporary art) has nothing to do with "real life." It is an art style that is intentionally non-representative and seeks to reach its point or subject by using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.

• Surrealism art.

It is a modern art style of painting that juxtaposes various abstract concepts to produce a startling effect.

• Pop Art.

It is a modern art style that began back in the 1950s, drawing inspiration from everyday life's commercial and consumer aspects, especially in American culture. Such images included advertising, mass media, comic books, celebrities, and popular culture elements, such as magazines, movies, and even bottles and cans.

From Madhubani to Kalamkari, ten Indian folk art forms have survived generations. Folk painting and art forms from ancient India have been passed down through the generations and are still followed in various parts of the world. The following are the reasons that make the 10 folk art unique. Moved from one generation to the next, Indian folk art is still alive in many parts of the country. As culturally diverse and distinct, various forms of art have evolved over the years, some untouched by modernization; some adapted to new colors and materials.

Here's a look at 10 forms of folk painting that are still practiced in selected parts of the country:

Madhubani

Also known as Mithila art, it originated in the Kingdom of Janak (Sita's father in Ramayana) in Nepal and Bihar. It is one of the attractive Indian folk arts, mostly practiced by women who wanted to be one with God.

Miniature Paintings

Their miniature size characterizes these paintings, but they have intricate details and acute expressions. Originally from the Mughal era, around the 16th century, miniature paintings were inspired by Persian styles and grew under Shah Jahan and Akbar's rule. Rajputs later introduced it, and it is now commonly practiced in Rajasthan.

Phad

Originating in Rajasthan, Phad is primarily a religious form of scroll painting depicting the folk deities of Pabuji or Devnarayan. The 30-or 15-foot-long canvas or cloth on which it is painted is called the phad. These paintings are characterized by vegetable colors and a continuous narrative of the deities' lives and heroic deeds.

World

Originated by the Warli tribes of India's Western Ghats in 2500 BCE, this is easily one of India's oldest forms of art. It mainly uses circles, triangles, and squares to form various shapes and depict daily activities such as fishing, hunting, festivals, dance, and more. 

Gond

Characterized by a sense of belonging to nature, the Gondi tribe of Madhya Pradesh created these bold, vibrantly colored paintings, depicting mainly flora and fauna. The colors come from charcoal, cow dung, leaves, and colored soil.

Kalamkari

Kalamkari literally means "drawing with a pen." There are two types in India: Machilipatnam, which originated in Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, and Srikalahasti, which originated in Chittoor in the same state. The former refers to the art form of block printing, while the latter refers to art that flows freely on the canvas with a pen.

Tanjore

Tanjore or Thanjavur's paintings are from the south, created in 1600 AD, and were encouraged by the Nayakas of Thanjavur. You can recognize the Thanjavur painting decorated with gold leaf, which gleams and gives the painting a surreal appearance.

Cheryl Scrolls

This dying art form originated in Telangana today, only practiced by the Nakashi family and passed down from generation to generation. The traditions of long scrolls and Kalamkari art influenced Cheriyal scrolls, a more stylized version of Nakashi art. Depicting Puranas and epics, these 40-45 foot scrolls were an essential visual accompaniment as saints wandered around singing or narrating epics.

Kalighat Paintings

A painting style that was recently discovered originated in Bengal in the 19th century, from Kalighat. It was a time when there was a possible, exciting upheaval against the British. These paintings depicted gods and goddesses on cloth and pattas but then turned to social reform.

Patachitra

A cloth-based scroll painting by Odisha and West Bengal, these paintings with sharp, angular bold lines depict epics, gods, and goddesses. Originally from the fifth century in religious centers such as Puri and Konark, sculpture began around the same time since there was no known distinction between an artist and a sculptor back then.
