Acrylic paint dries quickly with a medium-weight body and the ability to deliver vibrant color in both matte and gloss finishes. The versatility, durability and low toxicity of these art materials make acrylic perfect for beginners and experts alike, while hobbyists and students can keep their creations almost instantly without smudging.
From dabbing to dry brushing, acrylic paints can be applied in many different ways. Squeezing the paint directly from the tube onto the surface creates a 3D impasto texture, similar to the technique synonymous with oil painting. On the other hand, thinning acrylic paint creates a semi-transparent watercolor consistency - the opportunity to experiment and play is abundant.
The natural opacity of acrylics ensures that they can be applied to virtually any surface, even concrete, wool and textiles. If you are using a thin or watered down technique, acrylic paper is the best surface to work on, while canvas is better when applying an oil paint technique.
Acrylic is naturally thick and buttery and can glide across paper in large strokes, while you can also partially blend colors for a marbled look or create layers to create blocks and strong lines. Daler-Rowney is proud to have a special heritage as the first company to bring acrylic to market in Europe and to develop a wide range of acrylic art supplies.
