RE: I might be making an art piece with Acrylic paints and canvass within a few days time
Do you have pencils to sketch and paper? You can try on that first. Acrylic paint just like water colour is easy to wash of the only difference is that acrylic is brighter and once dry the paint can't be wiped off like watercolour (at least that's my experience, I'm using the old water colour boxes of over 10 years old right now). I find it a bit hard because I am used to acrylic so it's not easy to paint in a different way.
By the way I use one type of brush for everything and don't care too much about what the brush is meant for. I also use a piece of the sponge (meant to scrub the pans) to paint bigger parts with.
If you have enough money, it's better to buy paper, pencils, so you can experiment and go for the bigger pots with paint like these Have a look at @almaguer, he started only a few months ago. For sure, you can develop your style and brighten up your days and the house.
P.s. if what you painted on canvas isn't right, you can paint over it. Buy a bottle of black and white extra to make the new layer and the colour you like most. I paint on a black background.
I am looking forward to seeing your first brushstrokes, no matter what you paint it's all part of the experience.
I have very similar tastes to yours; I like painting on a black background. It looks great. And although I haven't tried any paints other than acrylics recently, I vaguely remember when I used to paint with watercolors, and the feeling is not even remotely the same. Each material is a universe that, through trial and error, you could specialize in. Of the ones I've tried, I would always stick with canvas. Heavyweight paper has its own timing and characteristics, and I feel that when you use more than two layers, the magic is lost. This is not the case with canvas, which allows for many layers and textures. Regular cardstock has a different timing; I've tried some that are impossible for me to paint on.
Canvas, as you say, also has the ability to be reused, which is great.
Hi Miss @wakeupkitty, even if I have a pencil I really have no idea how to use it because I do not know what to draw or sketch for that matter. A long time ago I made a gridline to mimic the silhouette image of Kurt Cobain in black and white using a pencil on one of the drawers of our study table and put a masking tape to preserve it but I destroyed after a while which I shouldn't had to my regret.
I haven't used pencil for anything for quite a long, long time already. However I will have to see what colors which I have to use but for now I will make use of what I had purchased and use them. Thank you for all your guidance and suggestion and I hope that I can do this even though I know that the result will not be as good as I expect and want but I have some idea what to do.

Don't tear apart. We go up and down but if you have something to look back to you will see the growth but also what kind if drawings or art gits to you. The grey pemcil is meant to sketch what you might like to paint. There are plenty of videos you can watch orbsimply try to sketch or paint one of your many photos in your own way. You might surprise yourself.
I am not a great sketcher myself but I give it a try again. Who knows it helps me to other insights or look different?
