• A rough sketch must be made before hand so that you are required just to fill the color. This would help you in faster application of paint and avoid from unnecessary drying.
• All the brushes, cleaning cloths that are to be used in between the painting must be kept near so that breaks could be avoided.
• Storing the paints in the correct manner is very important. While they are not in use, they must be not exposed to air. If they dry up, they would be of no use. These come in air tight containers and must be kept in them only.
