acrylic

Fast-drying medium

Acrylic refers to a family of synthetic materials derived from acrylic acid.

As a fiber, it's lightweight and wool-like, used in sweaters and blankets.

As a plastic, it's the clear, shatter-resistant material in aquarium walls and protective barriers.

Acrylic paint uses acrylic polymer as its binder—it dries quickly, cleans up with water, and dominates both craft stores and fine art studios: She works in acrylics rather than oils.
