Painting With Acrylics
While some of the oldest methods date back thousands of years, acrylic painting is a relatively recent innovation that originated within the last century. When it first emerged in the early 1900s, artists of all genres quickly adopted this new, fast-drying medium that showed versatility and potential beyond other paints. Employing different acrylic painting techniques has resulted in some of the most well-known and desirable works of art in the market.
With its versatility, acrylic painting draws all artists of all disciplines to it. Not only is it durable, but it also has an immediacy in its finish that other types cannot offer. Today, collectors can find acrylic paintings from artists around the world.

I personally like the fast-drying aspects of acrylic painting. It suits my style of creating abstract art. I often like to work quickly adding layers of paint simultaneously. Acrylic paints allow me to do just that. I don’t have to think, I only need to let my hands do the talking.
