Acrylic Painting

Water-based colour on canvas

Acrylic is pigment held in a synthetic binder. It thins with water, brushes wash in water, and the paint dries quickly. After it dries, the film resists water. A finished canvas can be rolled and stored with less fear of the cracking that a hard oil film can suffer in transit.

  • How acrylic differs from oil: water instead of solvent, a faster dry, and a tougher dry film
  • Supports, grounds, brushes and a stay-wet palette
  • Opaque passages and thin glazes, and why you plan the dry time
  • A still life or a simple landscape carried to a finished study
  • Varnish only after the film is fully dry, and only when the instructor asks for it
