Frequently Asked Questions

Are acrylic colours water proof?

Once dried, acrylic colors are water-resistant but not completely impervious to moisture. Once acrylic paint has dried on a surface, it becomes water-resistant, able to withstand brief contact with water or minor splashes without suffering immediate harm. Acrylic paint can still be impacted by prolonged water exposure or ongoing contact with moisture, softening or lifting off the surface.

Will acrylic paint stay on fabric?

Yes, Acrylic paint can adhere to fabric, but it may not be as durable or flexible as fabric-specific paints. To ensure good adhesion and longevity, use acrylic paints specifically formulated for fabric, or mix a fabric medium with regular acrylic paint. Heat setting or ironing the painted fabric can help to make the paint more resistant to washing.

Why does acrylic paint dry so fast?

Acrylic colors dries quickly because it mainly consists of water. It uses water as an adhesive and quickly evaporates when it comes into exposure to air. As they polymerize, the acrylic polymers in acrylic paints also solidify, hastening the drying process. When compared to oil paints, which require a slow chemical reaction called oxidation to dry, acrylic colours dry quickly—in minutes to hours—while oil paints take hours or days.

Are acrylic paints suitable for beginners?

Yes, acrylic paints are a great choice for those who are new to the world of painting. They provide several benefits that make learning more accessible. Acrylic colors dry quickly, making experimentation and corrections simpler. Since they are water-based, cleanup is easy. They have an extensive colour selection and are typically less expensive than oil paints.
