Acrylic Paint for Beginners

As Acrylic paint is water based it can be diluted with water, but becomes water resistant once it has dried. If watered down a lot or used with additives, acrylic paint can resemble watercolour paint and can be used with watercolour techniques. If used undiluted, or made thicker it has a closer resemblance to oil paint and can be used to create oil-painting like effects.
