More about acrylic painting

It’s a water-based medium and the usual texture and consistency is similar to oil paints. However, unlike oils, you can get acrylics in a wide variety of densities (or ‘viscosity’ as it’s sometimes called).These range from a very thin, ink-like consistency able to be used in airbrushes through various degrees of ‘flow’ to the consistency of soft cream cheese.
This allows really heavy 3D (impasto, or paste) effects. And you have the choice of either mixing the paints with the additives to create a solid color throughout the impasto, or letting the impasto dry, then painting over it.
