Some Paints

   There are many different types of paint. One of them are acrylic paint.What is acrylic paint? You can use acrylic paint for painting on any surface. It can be used for wood, walls, canvas, paper, e.t.c. Acrylic paint makes the surface you are drawing on stay the same texture because it is not that watery. It just adds color. Sometimes when I think of acrylic paint I think of "regular paint." It is also a fast drying paint. In addition, if you make a mistake you can't just paint another color on top of it because it will show. If you put water on it while its not dry, it will just mix into the color. If you put water on it when it is dry, it turns water-resistant.

   Another type of paint is oil paint. I really like oil paint because it looks really nice when painted. Oil paint is the opposite of acrylic paint because it drys really slow unlike acrylics. In addition oil paint contains a lot of liquid. Its just like oil inside paint. This liquid makes the painting full of glossiness. When you paint with oil paint you sometimes have to do multiple coats to make it look neat. Sometimes if you don't, you see some shading spots which look unprofessional. Oil paint usually come in small tubes.

   Try taking a guess at which one you think is painted by acrylic paint and oil paint! In comment box, please state your answer!
