Here’s why acrylic paint is so great:

  1. Versatility: Acrylic paint can be used on a wide range of surfaces such as canvas, paper, wood, metal, glass, and plastic. This makes it ideal for crafts where you may want to paint on different types of surfaces.
  2. Quick Drying Time: Acrylic paint dries quickly, which makes it convenient for craft projects where you don’t want to wait a long time for the paint to dry. This also allows you to layer different colors and create different effects quickly.
  3. Easy Clean Up: Acrylic paint is water-soluble, making it easy to clean up with soap and water. This is especially important for crafts where you may have accidental spills or want to clean your brushes quickly.
  4. Durability: Acrylic paint is durable and long-lasting, making it ideal for crafts that will be exposed to wear and tear, or the elements.
  5. Variety of Colors: Acrylic paint comes in a wide range of colors, including metallics, neons, and pastels, so you can find the perfect color palette for your craft project.

Here are some general tips for using acrylic paint in your craft projects:

  1. Surface preparation: Before painting with acrylics, make sure the surface you’re painting on is clean and dry. If the surface is slick, you may want to sand it lightly to give the paint something to grip onto.
  2. Brush selection: Choose a brush that’s appropriate for the surface and the details you want to paint. For example, if you’re painting a small detail, choose a fine-pointed brush. If you’re painting a large area, use a wider brush.
  3. Mixing colors: You can mix acrylic paints to create new colors or shades. To create a lighter shade, add white paint. To create a darker shade, add black or a complementary color.
  4. Layering: Acrylic paint dries quickly, so you can add multiple layers of paint to build up the color or create different effects. Make sure each layer is completely dry before adding another layer on top.
  5. Clean up: Acrylic paint can be cleaned up easily with soap and water while it’s still wet. Make sure to clean your brushes thoroughly after using them.
  6. Sealing: After the paint has dried completely, you can seal the surface with a clear varnish or sealant to protect the paint and make it more durable.

Acrylic paint can be used in a wide variety of crafting projects, from painting on canvas to decorating ceramics or wood crafts. Just remember to prepare your surface, choose the right brush, mix colors, layer, clean up, and seal your finished product if needed.

  • Acrylic 59ml Tube Part 1
  • Acrylic 59ml Tube Part 2
  • Liquitex Acrylic Inks

What it does

  • Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
  • Gives a matte white, opaque finish which provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
  • Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
  • Establishes a good surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings
  • Always use a quality artist’s gesso if you want a lasting, archival base – a low-cost ground will flake and separate from your support, taking your work with it. With proper application and under the right conditions, a professional gesso will last generations

How to use it

  • Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
  • Use undiluted or thin with up to 25% water – when thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium
  • Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat to support with a wide, flat brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
  • To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso
  • If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
  • Add acrylic color for a custom tint – Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
