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.

Due to acrylic's more flexible nature and more consistent drying time between colors, the painter does not have to follow the " fat over lean " rule of oil painting, where more medium must be applied to each layer to avoid cracking.

While canvas needs to be properly sized and primed before painting with oil ( otherwise it will eventually rot the canvas ), acrylic can be safely applied to raw canvas.

The rapid drying of the paint tends to discourage the blending of color and use of wet-in-wet technique as in oil painting.
