Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer-emulsion and plasticizers, silicone oils, de-foamers, stabilizers, or metal soaps. Most acrylic paints are water-based, 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, a gouache, or an oil painting, or it may have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media
