Acrylic Painting a Short History

Acrylic paint first became widely available in the late 1940s, and gathered popularity as the media was refined in the 1950s and 60s.

Acrylic paint is a byproduct of the plastics industry, and is made by holding color in an artificial resin, which is then combined with water.

Many professional artists use acrylic paint due to many ways it can be combined with other media, and for its quick-drying properties. Acrylic paint works as a good adhesive and can hold many times its own weight.

Acrylic paintings for sale can vary widely in texture and shine, depending on how much water, retardants or modifiers are used, and whether any agents are used to give a gloss or matte finish.
