RE: ShortFilm: An Object At Rest
I am happy you are still around and trust me I know how it feels if you are only waiting, waiting and waiting, while you have a head filled with ideas but the body (and lack of money) won't let you.
You should buy some big brushes, I have only one and am trying it out right now. If you paint wet on wet it's easier to make the strokes.
I watched a guy who shows paintings in 10 minutes (not quiet) but he paints on a small canvas and with brushes in a way which might help you.
I might need such a brush like what this artist have because part of the difficulty I noticed was the little brushes although a true artist really can have no trouble in using limited materials.
He indeed makes art like drawing a stick person and it is quite brilliant. Many years ago I saw a little painting displayed on the wall. It is a painting of a basketful of flowers. I think the size is about 3x3 inches or less and I found it to be very beautifully done. It is an oil painting because of the thickness of the paint.
Anyway, using a spray bottle is essential it seems because of the fact that the acrylic pain does dries-out quick. I still have to learn more and I hope to continue as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience for me Miss @wakeupkitty 💗💗💗🌹🌹🌹

I never used a spray bottle for acrylic and it doesn't dry fast with me. You can make the acrylic more fluid by adding water.
If it comes to watercolour I can imagine it's practical if you paint wet on wet which should go fast.
I try out brushes now. The last days I only used two. One is a 0.5 inch (a bit bigger) brush and the other is meant for makeup (eye liner).
The fine one is not only good for lines but also makes the paint darker (I used it here for water colour - wet on dry - the brush doesn't hold much water but a lot of paint (it's more scrubbed in).
👇 acrylic without varnish
The big brush I use now goes fast for smaller sizes (I recomment a bigger one if you want to paint bigger) this one is soft (straight top great for lines) and doesn't damage the paper I use too much.
Painting is a process. Trying out the brushes and one type of paper/canvas is important.

@almaguer it's hot inside with you. Do you use a spray bottle? Do you add water or is the paint fluid enough? Do you store what is left on the pallet?

Every material, every brush, every sponge, or whatever, is an adaptive process. Everything is new; it's normal for us to fall in love with certain brushes.
I don't have a sprayer. I always calculate and pour the minimum amount of paint onto the palette, so I don't waste any paint.
I'm more concerned about the paper I paint on.
Paper and brush/sponge go hand-in-hand. The brush/stroke/pressure + water can damage it the paper (+ not willing the wait till it's dry, like me 🤔).
I like to paint wet in wet.
