Acrylic paint is the most flexible of all painting media. You can work from light to dark or dark to light, paint rich textures or flat sheets of color, and easily correct any mistake. In this medium, there is no point of no return. We work in layers, mostly dark to light, with an emphasis on smooth and textured gradations of hue, value, and temperature.
