What is acrylic paint?
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made from pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. It is water-soluble when wet but becomes water-resistant once dry. Acrylic paints offer unique characteristics that are not easily achieved with other media, allowing for effects similar to both oil and watercolor paintings while providing their own distinct qualities.
