Painting with acrylic paints is an enjoyable art form, both for the artist and for those who view the art. Acrylic paint is different from regular paints because the color pigment is suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. When dried, this solution is water proof. Depending on the medium, acrylics can obtain a unique look, or can look like a watercolor or an oil painting. Acrylic paint tends to have a quicker dry time which can impede or help the artist in painting an artwork. Dry-time can be slowed with the use of glycol or glycerin based additives. The advantages of acrylic include its durability and waterproof qualities. In the years since invention, acrylic paints do not oxidize, crack or change.
