Characteristics of High Quality Acrylic Paints

  • Water soluble colors while wet.
  • Permanent, water insoluble, flexible colors when dry. Built-up surfaces will remain free of cracks and chips. Less flexible in cold weather. Softer in warm weather.
  • Air-dry by evaporation. Thin paint films: 10 - 20 minutes. Thick paint films: 1 hour - 3 days.
  • Surface of a dry acrylic painting can be cleaned by gently washing with soap and water.
  • Keep brushes wet. Clean up brushes, hands and palette with soap and water.
  • Little odor, no fumes, nonflammable. Uses non-toxic thinners and mediums.
  • Do not mix with turpentine or oils. Mix only with other acrylic emulsion paints or mediums.

Cleanup of Acrylic Paints

  • From hands: Wet or dried acrylic paint cleans with soap and water.
  • From brushes: Clean wet brushes with soap & water. Clean dried acrylic brushes with acetone, denatured alcohol or equivalent product. These cleaning solutions are toxic. Care should be taken during use.
  • From clothing: While paint is wet, clean with water and/or window cleaner. Dried acrylic paint is permanent on fabric.
  • From painting surface: While paint is wet, wipe with damp rag, clean with water. When paint is dry, simply paint over surface with desired colors and motif.
