acrylic paint, what does it consist of? what makes it special?
Acrylic paint
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. 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, a gouache or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

the motorcycle enthusiasts a new artistic outlet for their passions. In 2014, Mathew "boo" Hintz knew he could spend more time behind the canvas doing what he was trained to do: paint.
Hintz's motorcycle portraits were inspired by the special details that make each model special. Brushstrokes heavily laden with acrylic paint allowed Hintz to "sculpt" as he painted, creating a unique three-dimensional sculptural surface. The process of Hintz's paint application process results in a signature, impressionistic style that make his paintings distinctive
