But these paints are tough and versatile, allowing the artist to do many things those oils and other mediums cannot do.
Acrylic paints come in convenient sets or singly.
Be sure to choose a set or single paints that have the basic colors. These are white, black, blue, magenta or red, yellow, raw sienna and raw and burnt umber. As acrylics are synthetic polymer or plastic paints, there are a host of different colors that you can choose from. But remember that you can make most colors from this basic set. Acrylic is a water-based medium.
