Acrylic paint is an extremely versatile and popular paint type, favoured by artists and hobbyists alike. It is fast drying, water-based and easy to mix, allowing a wide range of colours to be created. Acrylic paint is particularly durable, making it suitable for use on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood and even walls. This type of paint is resistant to fading and abrasion, resulting in long-lasting works of art.
Another advantage of acrylic paints is that they can be applied using a variety of techniques, such as brush, sponge or even stencil. The fast drying of the material allows layers to be built up quickly and efficiently, which is particularly useful for artists who want to quickly add depth and texture to their creations. Acrylic paints can also be diluted with water to increase their versatility, or mixed with different media to achieve different effects, such as a gloss or matt finish.

Furthermore, the application technique and the dilution of the paint can also affect the appearance of the colour.
How is acrylic colour mixing possible?
Mixing acrylic colour is a multi-step process. First, choose the colours you want to mix. Next, place the paints in small quantities on a palette. Mixing can be done with a spatula or brush, while gradually adding the colours to achieve the desired shade. It is important to experiment and try small amounts to understand how the colours react with each other.
