To darken or make "shades" of your watercolors simply add a small amount of black watercolor to it. You can also darken a hue by adding a darker "staining" hue of the same family to it. For example, add a dark red (i.e. alizarin crimson or thalo red) to a lighter red (i.e. cadmium scarlet or cadmium red). Because alizarin crimson (or thalo red) is a staining hue, only add a tiny amount of it to your light red hue.

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.
