Acrylic paint

Acrylic paint is a type of paint made from something called 'acrylic polymer', which is a type of plastic. When acrylic paint is mixed with water, it becomes a thick liquid that can be used on many different surfaces. It is a popular paint for artists, because it can be used to create very vibrant and beautiful colorful art. Acrylic paint also dries quickly, so you don't have to wait very long for your artwork to be ready.
