This artwork was created using acrylic paint on a high quality wrapped
canvas. Acrylic paint works very well on stretched canvas. When
purchasing artwork many people aren't sure what the difference is
between acrylic and oil paintings. The main difference between acrylics
and oil paints is the inherent drying time. Oils allow for more time to
blend colors and apply even glazes over underpaintings. This slow drying
aspect of oil can be seen as an advantage for certain techniques, but in
other regards it impedes the artist trying to work quickly. The fast
evaporation of water from the acrylic paint film can be slowed with the
use of acrylic retarders. Retarders are generally glycol or
glycerin-based additives.
Oil paints tend to require the addition of a toxic solvent, such as
mineral spirits or turpentine to thin the paints and clean up tools,
though relatively recently water soluble oil paints have been developed
for artist use. Secondly, oil paint films become increasing yellow and
brittle, and will lose their flexibility in a few decades. Acrylics can
be used on many surfaces without a medium- layer. They allow sharp
brush-strokes but also a more delicate shading, although it is more
difficult to create a smooth change between different shades. They are
usually very bright. Although the permanency of acrylics is sometimes
debated by conservators, they appear more stable than oil paints.
