Acrylic

Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry.


I found working with acrylic difficult, because of how fast it dried, I tried to combat this by adding water to the paint. but this only dulled down the colours.


when replicating a picture I found that mixing for a single block colour was easy. However, when I needed to paint grass, I found it difficult to create dimension, and get the correct shades, to make it photo realistic.


On the other hand, I really enjoyed my first experience with acrylic, and I feel it would be better for when I want to create a more abstract piece. I would like to continue these experiments in the future, as I feel they could look very good layered over pictures, and by using vibrant colours would link to my themes, of street art and the 80's
