🎨 When acrylic paint first emerged in the 1940s, artists gained something entirely new: control over both color and texture. Today, acrylics range from fluid, ink-like consistencies to thick, sculptural bodies. Combined with specialty gels and mediums, they can create effects impossible in traditional paint. The result? A medium that lets artists shape not only what they paint, but how the surface itself speaks. 🧑‍🎨 Presentation by Todd from our Outreach Team 😁 Thanks to our vendor partners at @liquitexofficial & @goldenpaints for the footage 🫶🏽 Special thanks to artists @scott.l.maier, tishalee_art, @michaelas_artistry & Kelly Burke whose work we included here 🎥 Filmed at Blick Studios in Chicago, Illinois #ArtHistory #AcrylicPainting #PaintingTechniques #ArtistStudio #ArtMaterials
