Normally when you think of art, you tend to think in terms of paintings, sculpture, music or some such media. And then when it comes down to painting there are oil paintings, there are watercolors and more recently there have been acrylic paint art. All these are painted on canvases or wood or walls or some such medium. Have you ever wondered how to paint with acrylic paints?
