Acrylic paints are not messy and clean up easily with soap and water. But, like any other technique, you need to take good care of your materials so they last a long time!

The many tools designed specifically for acrylic painting will allow you to make use of its astounding capacity for transformation. Checklist!

A clear advantage of acrylic paint: you can use it on many media… that don't need priming.
