Can you paint wet on wet with acrylic paint?
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.

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.
