Acrylic is a popular art medium because of its versatility. For both beginners and accomplished artists alike, acrylic is great for exploring new techniques and expanding creativity. Acrylic paint is synthetic (human-made) and can be applied thickly with rich textures, similar to oil paint, or it can be applied in thin washes or glazes, like water colour. It can even be used to paint precision and minute detail.
Experiment with mixing colours using the Different colour combinations discussed later.

Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance in space.
Cool colors give an impression of calm, and create a soothing impression.
White, black and gray are considered to be neutral.

A colour can be made lighter by adding white, the result is called a tint.

And if gray is added, the result is a different tone.
