Acrylic paint

From CosplayWiki

Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting or have its own unique characteristics not attainable by oil or watercolor.

Acrylic artist paints are their own unique media. They can be thinned with water and made into washes to be used similar to how watercolor paints are used, but the washes are not water sensitive and color lifting techniques are not as easy to do with acrylics as they are with true gum-arabic based watercolor paints.

Acrylic paint is generally non-removable when it is dry. Water or mild solvents do not resolubilize it, although isopropyl alcohol can lift some fresh paint films off. Toluene and acetone can remove paint films, but they do not lift paint stains very well and are not selective, meaning using a solvent to remove paint will result in removing all of the paint layers, gesso, etc.
