Acrylic Paint, Why??


  Why Acrylic???

    Acrylic paint is a bold, dashing, bright and less smelly paint. No one likes smelly paint and I doubt you do either. Acrylic also dries fast, so your paintings are finished faster! Faster is better right?

Okay here are the pros and cons of Oil Paint and Acrylic Paint. Acrylics have way more pros than oils do. So go with acrylic, it's obvious that they're better.

Acrylic 

Pros:

  • dries faster
  • bright colors
  • bold strong colors
  • easy to apply
  • does not stick like glue
  • can wash off your hands easily with soap
  • not overly smelly; smells like...well, paint
  • way cheaper, and comes in bigger bottle for less prices
Cons:

  • stains clothing, uhhh, what paint doesn't stain clothing?
  • dries up if not capped

Oil Paint

Pros:
  • bright colors
  • very strong, eye-catching colors
  • comes in a large variety of different shades and tints
  • more paint-like texture
Cons: 
  • smelly, extremely
  • comes in tiny tubes, enough for a painting? Nah.
  • expensive!!!
  • sticks to paintbrushes like glue!
  • kills your paintbrushes, literally
  • stains clothing, like any other paint
  • sticks to your hands for 3 days, hard to wash off even with soap!
So which is better? Depends on your opinions I guess. But for me, I'm sticking with acrylic. This is my opinions on things, so if you disagree; write your own blog.
