Acrylic Paint

Water-based magic. Acrylic paint starts out water-soluble, meaning you can mix it and clean your brushes with plain water. But once it dries, it becomes water-resistant and won't wash away, which is why artists love it.

Super speedy drying. Unlike oil paint, which can take days to dry, acrylic paint dries really fast. This means you can paint layer after layer quickly without waiting around.

Packed with science. Acrylic paint contains pigment (the colored powder) floating in a special polymer emulsion, plus other ingredients like plasticizers and silicone oils that help it flow smoothly and perform perfectly.

Copycat paint. By adding different amounts of water or mixing in gels and mediums, you can make acrylic paint behave like watercolor, oil paint, or something totally unique that no other paint can do.
