acrylic paints
Water-soluble art medium
Acrylic paints are water-based paints that use acrylic polymer as a binder.
They dry quickly, become water-resistant when cured, and can mimic the appearance of oils or watercolors depending on technique.
Artists favor acrylics for their versatility and easy cleanup: She switched from oils to acrylics because they dry faster.
