I enjoy using acrylic paints. They dry quickly, and they’re easy to clean up when the paint is still wet. They are water-soluble when using them, and become a permanent waterproof plastic when it dries completely. Acrylic markers are also great to use when you want to add small details or outline images in your paintings. I like to use them to make small paintings like ACEO cards. Quick tip for using acrylic markers: you have to build the color with layers to get enough coverage of the area you’re painting. Each layer has to dry completely before you add more layers.
Here I will list acrylic paints and markers that I have used in my artwork and provide links for them on Amazon if you are interested in purchasing them.
