Many painters describe acrylics as the most versatile painting medium to work with. This reflects that acrylics are opaque, dry quickly, come in a multitude of colours, are water soluable, and can work with a multitude of surfaces and mediums. In short, acrylics offer a ton of fun opportunities for an artist to explore!
