Grace Slick

People ask me why I don't paint oils. It takes too long. Cleaning brushes in linseed oil, and it takes six months to really dry, and all this. I don't have that kind of time. I work with acrylic. It's water based. You can clean it under water. If you spill it on yourself, you just throw it in the washing machine.

American Musician

Stephen Hough

I enjoy painting. It's an incredible release of tension, and I feel very excited doing it. I squeeze out some wonderful red paint, and I get a thrill. My heart starts beating faster. It's almost a sensual thing working with these thick acrylic paints. I almost want to put my hands in.

British Composer

Peter Saul

I'm into using acrylic, in a complicated kind of way: Making it just as good as oil paint - better, maybe. It's odd - when I started out, acrylic was for children, pretty much. It was a cheaper paint. It wasn't supposed to look very good or last very long.

American Artist

Shefali Shah

I am constantly in a need to create irrespective of the medium. When I started out, I did sketch and I continue to do so on paper sometimes. Mainly, I work with acrylic and ink. Honestly, I don't have the patience for oil paint to dry.

Hunx

The idea of taking a brand that already exists and making a really poor-looking version of it, with acrylic or puffy paint, is really aesthetically pleasing to my eyes and also funny.

Jennifer Coolidge

I am allergic to a certain kind of glue. Most eyelash glues are terrible, the glue in acrylic nails. I get a rash up my arm and face.

American Actress

Ellsworth Kelly

I don't like acrylic because you can't get the density of color. And with each coat of oil paint, the surface gets better and richer.

Jim Lee

I paint in acrylic and sometimes in oil. Sometimes I'll paint my kids. And I'll occasionally do some photography.

South Korean Artist

Kiana Tom

I also paint and enjoy acrylic medium; some of my close friends have paintings I did for them.

American Model

Margot Robbie

All your mannerisms change easily when you have inch-long acrylic nails.

Australian Actress

Acrylic is used in daily life for items like aquariums, eyeglass lenses, and signage.

Versatile Material

Acrylic may look like glass, but it's lighter and more impact-resistant.

Not Glass

Acrylic can scratch easier than glass. Handle with care.

Sensitivity Warning

Acrylic fibers in clothing require delicate washing to avoid damage.

Clothing Care

Acrylic in fabrics is chosen for warmth, softness, and wool-like feel.

Warmth and Softness

Acrylic paint dries rapidly, which is useful for layering colors without long waits.

Quick-Drying Paint

While wet, acrylic paint can be diluted with water, but it becomes water-resistant when dry.

Water Soluble

Acrylics can mimic the look of oil or watercolor paints, offering creative flexibility.
