It seems that people either get acrylics or they don’t. As a teacher, the three common problems I encounter are: watercolourists add too much water; oil painters can’t cope with the fast drying time; that acrylic is ‘good for painting over mistakes’.
Starting with a negative can never be conducive to great art. Acrylic paint can help you to become a more spontaneous artist, the fast drying times and the ability to make instant changes, going from colour to colour, dark to light and back again, allow you to respond to marks as you make them.
