Acrylics and WATER

  Water for Painting

      No, painting with acrylics is not like painting with water colors, but it still can be quite similar. Water is used to give paint a more smooth stroke, and to make acrylics less clumpy if it happens to be that way. Acrylics don't need much water to wash the paint off your brush, since you can simply use a napkin to wipe the paint off, but washing your brush when you want to change colors can be beneficial to a wonderful painting. It also depends on how you look at your colors. I paint, but I don't wipe ALL the color off my brush at times, because a blue with a hint of leftover black from your brush can create a cool effect, or pink with a hint of purple from your brush. Looks amazing, really.
