5) After drying, acrylic colors can be over painted unlike watercolors, where there is a possibility of disturbing the existing wash.
6) If you wanna blend your color, work fast as acrylic colors dry very fast and if you are using a paper, damp it for improved blending.

Acrylic colors are water based that distinguishes them from oil colors. It means acrylic colors can be mixed with water and can be washed with water. They are non-smelly and non-toxic which makes them an ideal option for artists who are health and eco conscious. Acrylic colors generally mimic the quality of oil paints but if thinned a lot with water, they can mimic the quality of watercolor also, hence making acrylic color 'a fun to be with coloring medium'. These colors dry very quickly so its sometimes become difficult to blend colors. However, if you wanna go for quick drying painting then these colors suit you the best.As i already mentioned that acrylic colors are versatile, firstly they can mimic the qualities of both oil and watercolors by varying the quantity of water in colors.
