Acrylic paint is a versatile and widely used medium in the art world, favored for its vibrant colors and durability. Once dry, acrylic paint becomes water-resistant and permanent. This paint is perfect for adult beginners and hobby artists.
Characteristics of acrylic paint:
- Fast drying: acrylic paint has a quick drying time. You can work rapidly and layer colours without long waits in between applications
- Durability: once dry, acrylic paint forms a flexible, water-resistant layer that is less likely to crack or yellow over time compared to other types of paint
- Adhesion: acrylic paint adheres well to a variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood, metal, fabric, and even glass.
To get started, you can get to know the colours by experimenting on the provided swatch card. Mix each colour to see it’s intensities and shades.
Tools and materials that can be used for acrylic paint:
- Brushes: Acrylic brushes usually have soft bristles and come in various shapes. Synthetic and natural hair brushes are both used, with natural hair brushes often prized for their ability to hold water. They are designed to handle the thicker consistency of acrylic paint.
- Surfaces: Acrylic paint can be used on canvas, paper, wood, and many other surfaces.
- Palette: Used for mixing colors. Palettes can be made of plastic, ceramic, or metal.
- Water Container: This is essential for rinsing brushes and diluting paints. Our Faber-Castell Waterpot is perfect for this.
