Best Answer

The binder of the acrylic paint is called "acrylic polymer emulsion," and it can be found in different forms, which can be referred to as the "acrylic mediums".

The easiest way to make acrylic paint is to use Aqua - Dispersions of Pigments, which are completely ready to use when you buy them.

Acrylic paint is fast drying that contains pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. This type of paint can be diluted with but are resistant to water when they dry. A finished acrylic paint can resemble an oil or water colour painting depending on how much the painting is diluted or modified with acrylic gels or pastes.
