Acrylic paint can be used on all sorts of surfaces and for a variety of purposes. It can be applied to canvas, paper, board and even wood, fabric and pottery. Its versatility and vibrancy means it is a popular choice for artists, students and hobbyists.

Generally, acrylic paint does not need to be mixed with water and is ready to use straight out of the tube. However, if you want to achieve a more diluted or translucent look, mixing in water can achieve this effect.
