What kind of paint should I use? I'm no artist...?
I'm not an artist, but was thinking about making some wall art for my new apartment. I want to paint the lyrics to my favorite song or a verse from a poem by edgar allen poe on a large piece of canvas. I would like the background to be a swirly grey/black/silver and the letters to be dark red. I would like the canvas to be about 2x3 feet. I have no knowledge of painting but i tend to be a creative individual. I'm thinking I'll to use black and white paint to make different shades of black and gray and silver paint. Then of course just a plain deep red paint for the letters. Can anyone guide me on what type of paint I should get and how much I should get for a canvas of this size? any general tips/knowledge is appreciated.
I would use acrylics. Liquitex is pretty cheap but I perfer golden. you wouldn't need that much... depending on how many layer's you want. I would go about 200 ml or less. And it depends on what kind of canvas you want to get
