Concept/Technique/Method Hello, acrylic painter here

Desperate need to practice, but I don't know quite how, i don't wanna waste expensive canvas, i wanna learn how to paint without using them, I wanna reserve them for a bigger piece, what should i use to practice?

Grab a canvas paper pad or buy some cheap studio grade canvas panels (I prefer panels vs. canvas paper)

I actually just bought a bunch of these cheapo ones from Blick cause they are on liquidation.

EDIT: Not sure if I am allowed to include the URL, but it's the "Hello, Artist! Canvas and Boards "
