I want to improve my acrylic paintings

Hey everyone,

i wanted to know how to improve my acrylic paintings. I have been doing alot of work in my sketchbook with my trusted pencils but i also want to get as good in acrylic paintings. Does anyone know of any good books for how to improve my acrylic paintings, with techniques, exercises and all of that lot. And the right paper i should use and paint brushes. Or is anyone has any tips. If anyone could help me out it would be great and ill really appreciate it!

Note: I did post this in the education thread but no one was replying :P

In Painting class at school, we have huge 10 buck gallons of acryllic. My teacher doesn't like me for what I do, but I love to just make assumptions and put colors on the canvas/paper. Sometimes I layer them, and add totally stupid colors, just to see how it turns out. (I need some color theory.)

Cam't give much more advice. Get cheap shit paint, paint like crazy with it, then use good paint for good paintings. Right? :D
