Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.[1] Acrylic paint is typically used for crafting, or in art classes in schools because it does not require any chemicals, and rinses away with just water.[citation needed] It also is less likely to leave a stain on clothes than oil paint
