Acrylics or Watercolor?
Hey Guys,
Today we will be talking about acrylics and watercolors!
When it's time to paint it’s important to have the right tools for the job. But when that tool is paint, you have to make a choice.There are so many different kinds of painting that you can choose from. Each paint has it's own strength.
Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paint is different in one key way from oil. Instead of being made of pigment suspended in oil, it’s made of pigment suspended in a polymer emulsion. This gives the paint much different properties than oil-based paint or watercolor. Acrylic paint is better for people who want their paint to dry faster. Where oil paint can take a very long time to dry, acrylic paint can be dry within hours. It’s also resistant to water more than watercolor or oil paint, meaning that it’s less likely to get damaged by moisture in the short term. The main downside to acrylic paint is that it’s much less versatile when it comes to mixing and combining colors that the other options.
Watercolor Paint
Watercolor paint is the least expensive kind of paint out there.
It’s created by pigment suspended in water. Watercolor paint can dry fast, but it’s incredibly delicate when it comes to standing up to even a single drop of water. Because of this, watercolor paints are the least resistant option among the paints. Water color can be used to create unique images unlike anything else created by oil or acrylic.
WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
Personally I like acrylic paint over watercolors.
I like it more because of the thickness of the paint.
Don't get me wrong tho. I do love how easy it is to paint with watercolors.
No matter what kind of paint you want to use for your next project, keep in mind to have fun.
