Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion.

Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry.

Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

Acrylic paint is typically used for crafting, or in art classes in schools because it does not require any chemicals, and rinses away with just water.

It also is less likely to leave a stain on clothes than oil paint.
