Acrylic paint is a good all-around medium, great for learners 5 and up. Its bright pigment means it’s perfect for colour mixing and provides great coverage over a range of surfaces like paper, canvas, and wood.
It’s incredibly versatile; by adding water, it can mimic the effects of watercolour, or the addition of acrylic medium can make it appear more like oil paint.
It’s also quick-drying, which means that it’s perfect for shorter lesson times.
