Acrylic paint is a versatile, all-around medium that is ideal for learners aged five and up. Its bright pigments make it perfect for colour mixing and provide excellent coverage across a range of surfaces, including paper, canvas, and wood.
Acrylic paint is incredibly adaptable: when diluted with water, it can mimic the effects of watercolour, while adding acrylic medium can give it a more oil-paint-like appearance.
It is also quick-drying, making it well suited to shorter lesson times.
