I do like working with acrylic paint mostly because it dries so fast
Fantastic, so you are a painter. I fancy the final products
really not considered a painter, I like to do crafts, I recently did some signs for my bathroom, acrylic paints become water resistant once it dries
oh ok. Do the paints cost much? do they have a certain kind of effect on your work? are there alternatives to acrylic?
They are super inexpensive and usually used for crafts or art classes, I have mastered a couple techniques
Amazing, would you mind sharing some of those techniques?
If you put acrylic pain on a canvas and spray it with alcohol, then use a blow dryer and let it spread it makes a great effect/look and acrylics are less likely to stain clothes so it is easy to work with
Sounds super cool.

Following that development, Golden came up with a waterborne acrylic

- Examples of acrylic gouache are Lascaux Gouache and Turner Acryl Gouache.
