Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media. Acrylic paint is typically used for crafting and in art classes in schools because it does not require any chemicals…. and rinses away with just water…..plus it is less likely to leave a stain on clothes than oil paint.
