    Acrylic paints are versatile and fast-drying. They can be used straight from the tube like oils, thinned with water or acrylic medium like watercolors, or applied thickly or thinly to achieve different levels of opacity. Acrylics are easy to clean up with soap and water. Very thin coats of acrylic paint can be layered to add details to miniatures without risk of blending or bleeding. Proper thinning ratios depend on the intended application, from solid basecoats to transparent highlighting washes.

    Acrylics is extremely versatile, fast-
    drying paints, and can be used straight
    from the tube like oils or thinned with
    water or a medium and used like
    watercolours. If applied thickly
    either straight from the tube or with very
    little water added or if mixed with a little
    white, all acrylic colours can be opaque.
    If diluted, they can be used like
    watercolours or for airbrushing. Acrylic
    paints are easy to clean up using soap
    and water. Only mix small amounts of
    paint at a time, use a palette with a
    cover, and cover unused paint when
    you leave your work.
    Acrylic paints are fast drying and can be thinned with water and acrylic medium
    to apply very fine layers. Use thin coats to accent surface detail. Thick coats of
    paint will fill in the details and lower your opportunities to add highlighting
    washes.Acrylic paints are ideal for situations where you want to apply washes to
    highlight miniature details.
    Very thin yet opaque coats can be used to create the base, then detail washes
    can be applied over the base coats without any danger of blending or bleeding.
    Do not over thin acrylic paints with water, the paint will become weak.
    Use a mix of water and acrylic medium. Finally it is most advisable to add
    acrylics retarder to extend the drying time of the acrylics in your colour palette.
    Ratio of how many parts paint to how many parts water
    1:1 Minimum rate of dilution used primarily for basecoating. Good solid coverage.
    1:2 Thin coatings, airbrushing, outlining and small details. Thin without being
    transparent.
    1:5 Minimum for highlighting and shading. Transparent, base color will show
    through.
