Acrylic paints are the preferred medium of many artists. There are a variety of reasons for this. One of the advantages is the ease of clean-up. Being water-based, these paints and the brushes used with them can be cleaned with soap and water. (No smelly nor costly paint thinners needed!)
Acrylic paints have no odor, which is a great benefit to people who may be sensitive to strong odors. They come in a myriad of colors and shades, but if you cannot find exactly the right color, you can mix them as desired.
There are acrylic paints for nearly any and every surface. If you want to paint on fabric, you can get special paints for fabrics. If your surface is metal, there is a special paint for it. Do you paint on glass? Now you can buy an acrylic paint that lasts through several washings in the dishwasher. Whatever your project, more than likely you can find just the right acrylic paint for it.
