Acrylic paints can also be used.

Acrylic paint is a type of painting pigment. Dispersed pigments made from polymethylmethacrylate (see ACRYLIC RESIN) dissolved in mineral spirits. They are sometimes called pure acrylic paints or plastic paints. Pigments to distinguish them from polymeric pigments made from acrylic and other water-soluble resins.

Acrylic paints do not turn yellow and dry quickly, and are easily washed away with mineral alcohol or turpentine. These characteristics make them suitable for INPAINTING in painting preservation work to repair damage or damage. to the painted part. Acrylic paints in tubes with added plasticizer (PLASTIC IZER) are sold by manufacturers under the trade name of magna pigments.

Similarly, there is a special vinyl-resin solvent that is insoluble in turpentine and mineral alcohol called Magna varnish. Since Magna varnish has the characteristic that acrylic paint is easily soluble and cannot be painted repeatedly, it can also be used as an ISOLATING VARNISH and can also play the same role in oil paintings.

Characteristics of acrylic paint:

1. It can be diluted with water to facilitate cleaning.

2. It is quick-drying. The paint can dry within a few minutes after putting down the pen. It does not have to wait for several months before finishing the oil painting. Painters who prefer slow-drying paints can use retarder to delay the drying time of the paint.

3. The coloring layer will quickly lose its solubility after drying, and at the same time form a tough, elastic and impermeable film. This membrane is similar to rubber.

4. The color is full, thick and fresh. No matter how you blend it, it will never feel "dirty" or "grey". The colored layer will never absorb oil and cause stains.

5. The works have longer durability. The oil film in oil paintings is prone to oxidation over time, turning yellow and hardening, which can easily lead to cracks in the painting. Theoretically speaking, acrylic film will never become brittle or yellow.

6. The biggest difference between the use of acrylic paint and oil painting is that it has the operating characteristics of general water-based paints and can be used as both watercolor and gouache.

7. Acrylic modeling ointment contains granular types, and they are divided into coarse particles and fine particles, which provides convenience for making texture.

8. Acrylic paint is toxic, but will not cause harm to the human body. Just be careful not to accidentally eat it.
