Not only should you ensure that you have the right materials but also you should make sure that you get good quality materials as this will most definitely help you in achieving a wonderful painting. You also need to make sure that you have good brushes, flat or round brushes are the most suited for acrylic pains and you should try and get ones that are made using natural hair. They will help your painting appear much more smoother as they won't leave any bristle marks on your canvas or paper. If you are unsure what it is that you would like to paint you could start with a landscape, a flower picture or something abstract. These are all very popular things that can be painted in this medium.

You will need to know your colours so maybe you could top up your knowledge by visiting the colour wheel to get your brain thinking about colour. Make sure you know your basics about mixing colours so you don't make any mistakes, don't worry if you don't know everything as experimenting can often be part of the fun, it may take you a while to achieve some of the colours that you are looking for but it will be worth it in the end when you see your perfectly mixed colours on your canvas.
