How to choose acrylic paint

Choose acrylic paint by viscosity and grade: heavy-body acrylics hold brush marks and suit impasto, while fluid and soft-body acrylics flow easily for glazing, pouring and fine detail. Artist grade carries a higher pigment load than student grade.

• Acrylics dry slightly darker than they look when wet, so test colours on a scrap.
• A retarder or open medium slows drying for blending.
• Pouring projects need a pouring medium to keep colours flowing without cracking.
• Wash brushes before the paint dries, as dried acrylic is hard to remove.
