Can you paint watercolor styled painting with acrylics?

Yes, you can! The idea is to dilute your paint as much as possible to get the water transparency of watercolor. The process might take a bit of challenge as the opacity of acrylic paint is very thick, but with time and experience, it is possible. The best thing is to combine this watercolor effect with other streak using the opacity of acrylic paint to give multiple effect to your painting, such as finishing details and specks of paint on the last layers.
