About Acrylic
- Acrylic paint is a versatile and widely-used medium in the world of art in the recent decades.
- It consists of pigments suspended in a water-based acrylic polymer emulsion, which dries quickly and forms a plastic coating which can only be removed with powerful solvents.
- Acrylic paints are available in a wide range of colours, consistencies from thick to thin, and finishes, making them suitable for various painting techniques.
- They dry relatively fast compared to other paint mediums, allowing artists to work without waiting for long and at the same time you can extend the drying time with retarders.
- With just a few acrylic tubes, mediums and varnishes you can create a wide range of effects and texture unlike any other painting medium.
- Acrylics are known for their vibrant and intense colours. They can be used directly from the tube or diluted to achieve lighter shades and transparent glazes.
- Once dry, acrylic paints form a flexible and durable layer that is resistant to cracking or fading or yellowing over time, protecting it from environmental damage.
- They adhere well to a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, paper, and some tricky surfaces with a coat of gesso.
- As they are water-based, clean-up is easy with water while wet. However, once dry, they cannot be reactivated, allowing artists to apply subsequent layers without disturbing the underlying layers.
- They are water soluble and safe to use unlike oil paints and can mimic oil painting techniques.
- Acrylic can be used with other mediums like oil, gouache and pastel.
