Things To Consider Before Buying Acrylic Paints
Quality
Acrylic paints are available in two grades- Student’s Quality and Artist’s Quality. While the former is ideal for beginners and hobby, the latter is made of expensive pigments of higher quality. Select the one depending on your purpose.
Permanence
It refers to the ability of the paint to resist gradual fading. While acrylic paints, in general, have a good permanence, the artist grade ones have a longer-lasting quality.
Viscosity
Viscosity or colour thickness is another factor to consider. If you are aiming for a buttery and thick consistency, go for heavy body acrylics. Similarly, for detailing, stain work, dry brushwork and watercolour techniques, liquid acrylics are a better choice. A variety of acrylic mediums too are available to customise the desired effect.
Tube or Jar
If you are an artist on the go, tube acrylics make for a convenient and portable option. These, however, are available in a paste form.
