Acrylic paint is water based and the brushes can be cleaned with soap and water. 'Oil paint' is oil based and needs turpentine or paint thinner to clean brushes. Both come in tubes and are quite thick. You can use a paintbrush or pallette knife to apply the paint. You can also purchase 'folk art' acrylic paint in bottles, which is quite watery.
ANSWER 2
acrylic is not water based although some may contain some water - acrylic paint uses plastic as a binder and requires a solvent that "melts" the plastic to keep it liquid - when painted on the solvent evaporates leaving the plastic to harden and binding the pigment to the surface - oil paint works exactly the same way but uses non plastic binders that require only oil, usually linseed oil, as a solvent
ANSWER 3
No acrylic is not like oil paint tho some will say it is, acrylic is plastic in paint form, any result you achieve in acrylic paint would look a hundred times better in oil. People use it because it is less smelly and dries much quicker. Answer 2 is very good... :)
Acrylic paint (latex) will lift if rubbed with an alcohol soaked rag, cotton ball, etc.
Acrylic is generally easier to shine so would be shinier but the most definite way to tell would be to get a dab of cellulose thinner and rub a cloth on it.
Acrylic is not water soluble once dry. Watercolor can be reactivated with water.Dilute a small amount of paint in the normal manner for painting and make a brush stroke on a piece of scrap paper. Wash out your brush. Let the paint stroke dry for 20 minutes and then try to re-wet it with a brush full of water. If it re-wets and smears, it's watercolor. If it remains untouched, it's acrylic.
The original painting should have the artist's signature, and maybe you can even spot the brush strokes or the artist's fingerprints. Most of the reproductions don't have the artist's signature.
