         The wonderful thing about painting with acrylics is that often this kind of paint is every bit as expressive as oil paint yet dries rather swiftly (about a 30 minutes).  As it would seem, acrylics are a synthetic paint, created by combining vinyl polymer resins and acrylic-polymer with pigments.  Just how much of water to use when painting with acrylics will have a substantial relation on the consistency with the paint as well as visual appeal on the canvas.  Usually when an artist is mixing acrylic paint, it is ideal to obtain a balance between thick and watery paint.  Sometimes I use the paint directly from the tube, while deciding the consistency and amount of paint I need.  Using them from the tube they look a little creamy, as the paint is good and thick.

         When painting with acrylics they can be applied making use of the many ordinary oil based painting approaches, like glazing.  Acrylic Painting happens to be very popular today with artists and crafts men and women throughout the world.  Forget about odors and allergies to solvents, so typical to oil painting.

          Yet another advantage of painting with acrylics is the adaptability of use and their relatively quick drying time (often merely a few minutes.)  However, if a longer drying time is required in certain occasions, a medium for use with acrylic paints has been developed.  Hence,  acrylic painting  is often considered a lot more appealing way of painting.  I love painting with acrylic paints, since you can hide it pretty much if one makes an error, a lot of paints like watercolor are too transparent to cover mistakes.

          Also I work with a larger range of colors when Painting with Acrylics than I do with oils.  This saves me a good deal time on mixing, but they're also quite fluid when you water them down and so they show up transparent. You may also create a number of results start out using other acrylic mediums with the paint.  It is perfect for artists, they really like it, because it's quick to dry.  While acrylics are wet, you are able to use the brush to softly blend or adjust the pigment until it looks right.  You can also paint thickly in an impasto fashion with acrylics.  Acrylics react well to thinning and can be painted over in fairly fast sequence.  When selecting brushes for acrylic paint, you'll probably want to think about using nylon brushes, because acrylic paints are extremely tough on natural hair brushes.  If you wish to go beyond brushes and add interesting textures as well, use sponges, rags or anything else your creative imagination invents.

        Still working with the large brush, I slowly improve colors and shapes, ensuring the composition contains the look, I want.  It's tough to avoid the temptation to go straight to detail, but I've determined that almost nothing spoils a painting so quickly as getting out a small brush to soon.  Few artists develop the talent to keep all the values, shapes and colors correct while working only using a small brush.
