Acrylic paints are very versatile. You can use them both in thin coats of colour or thickly depending on the result you want.
Water Colour Effects
Thin coats of acrylic paint can be used to give a watercolour look to a picture. The thin layers of paint will have the transparent quality of watercolours.
A point to remember when painting using transparent coats is the white acrylic paint is an opaque colour. To paint a pale colour do not add white to make it pale, instead add water to thin the colour and apply thin layers of paint.
On a white background the white of the painting surface will show through the colour making it appear paler.
