What is acrylic paint used for? Acrylic paint can be used for a number of different art projects due to its versatility. It easily adheres to a wide range of surfaces such as paper, card, wood, plastic, canvas, metal, ceramic and clay.

Typical uses for acrylic paint include:

 

  1. Painting on canvas - Acrylic paint dries considerably quicker than oil paint, allowing the artist to build up texture on canvas.
  2. Painting clothing - Acrylic paint soaks into clothing materials like leather and denim but dries fast for brightly coloured results.
  3. Woodcrafts - Acrylic paint soaks into the wood to stain the surface and create a long-lasting effect.
  4. Kids crafts - Acrylic paint washes out of materials quickly, enabling children to rectify their mistakes easily.

 

Is acrylic paint permanent? Acrylic paint is permanent once it has fully dried. Before the paint has dried, you can dissolve it with some water to make changes or wash away the acrylic colours. Much like other types of paint, acrylic paint is only as permanent as the surface it's painted on. When painted on a clean and dry surface, it will remain free of cracks and chips for years to come.

 

Is acrylic paint washable? Acrylic paints are not washable once dry. In order to clean up acrylic paint from porous surfaces or brushes, clean it as soon as possible.
