If you are trying for total coverage it's wise to let the first coat dry completely. If you are intending to do the true 'wet on wet' artist's technique where the bottom layer is still totally mobile then you have to approach it a little differently than the oil painting technique. Acrylic paint drys very quickly compared to oil so you have to work very quickly, use thicker layers of paint and use a water mist spray to avoid premature drying; this can be quite difficult. Alternatively use an acrylic retarder added to the paint and this will slow the drying of the acrylic paint. Be careful though too much retarder will virtually stop the paint drying at all. Acrylic retarders are available for most brands of artists acrylic paint usually where they sell the paint. It is best to buy the same brand as the paint to avoid incompatibility.

Where can you find a homemade acrylic glaze recipe?
It's relatively simple. Just get a jar of plextol (acrylic binder), and mix it with acrylic paint. The plextol is milkish when wet, but it dries up clear and transparent

How can you tell if a room was previously painted with oil-based paint or latex paint?
Any paint and decorating store should have little pads (like wet-wipes) that you rub onto the painted surface. Whether or not the paint rubs off will tell you what kind of paint was originally used.
What is the difference between acrylic water base and acrylic polymer paint?
