Not only is acrylic paint a go-to for beginner and professional artists, it’s also a must-try for a variety of craft projects. “The best thing about acrylic paint is its versatility as a paint medium,” says Emily Clare, the publisher at Fine Art Tutorials. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, paper, and more. This is because acrylic paint consistency and finish are easy to manipulate and painters can make it thick, thin, glossy, or matter with the addition of the right medium. Additionally, many acrylic paints come in different finishes, so you don’t have to put in the extra work and can choose what works best for your project.
