Even though acrylic is used by many well-known professional artists, it is rather less popular with
amateurs. This is surprising, because acrylic is not only the most versatile of all the painting
media, but is also highly forgiving. You can paint out mistakes as you work, even making major
changes to the colour scheme and composition. Each new painting can become a springboard
for ideas and the range of different effects are vast.
