The main characteristic of acrylic paint is, it dries very fast. It contains many types of pigments dissolved in an acrylic polymer mixture. Once they get dried-up they become water resistant, otherwise they can easily mix up with water.
In many ways they are very related to other oil paints, but they are very simple to use and much cheaper compared to oil paints. If you just start your painting career, it is very suitable to use them. It doesn't require skills that are required to use watercolor or the patience needed for oil paints.
Artist must be very quick with his or her design and ideas while using them. However, in present time additives are used in them to slow down its drying process.
If any artist wants to use this type of paint for external use, he has to buy a special paint made for exterior use only.
