\"Acrylic\"Acrylic<\/strong> is a concept that, in the field of chemistry<\/strong>, is used as adjective<\/strong> to qualify that material obtained through the polymerization<\/strong> of a chemical compound called acrylic acid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Member of all carboxylic acids<\/strong> (which have a functional group called a carboxy or carboxyl group, where a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group coincide on the same carbon), acrylic acid has a double bond. It is possible to obtain it by propylene<\/strong>, which is a by-product of the refining process of the Petroleum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Acrylic acid, when in condition<\/strong> pure, it is a liquid that has a strong odor and lacks color. It can be mixed with chloroform, alcohols, water and other substances and allows you to easily create different polymers. That is why acrylic acid and its derivatives are used for the production of different paints and plastics that are simply known by the name of acrylics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Acrylonitrile, for example, makes it possible to produce acrylic fiber<\/strong>. Similar to wool, this fiber is used to make clothing<\/strong> and for the development of different textile products, such as rugs and blankets.<\/p>\n

The acrylic paintings<\/strong>On the other hand, their pigments are dispersed in an emulsion made with some acrylic-type polymer. By having a plasticized material, they can resist the action of Water<\/strong> when they are already dry (this drying process, on the other hand, takes place very quickly). Instead, before drying, they dissolve in water. It should be noted that acrylic paints are usually generically named as latex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For those looking for high-quality, glossy finishes in their paintings, but don't have the time or money to use oil<\/strong>, acrylic paint is the best option. According to the artists who have specialized in this material, it offers very satisfactory results since the process is truly rewarding.<\/p>\n

\"Acrylic\"The first step to embarking on acrylic painting is choosing the right brand and format, something that can be overwhelming for beginners, given the dozens of options available on the market. Experts say that it is convenient to invest in high-end or high-end products, since the difference with the cheaper ones is worth it. One of the basic differences is that cheap brands do not have a pigment<\/strong> as thick as the faces, and that leads to the need to apply two or three extra coats to achieve the same brightness and the same saturation as with just one of the last.<\/p>\n

Regarding the distribution format, which can be jar or tube<\/strong>The ideal for someone without experience is to opt for the latter, since it is sold in smaller quantities than the bottle and that allows experimenting without spending so much money; It should be noted that there is no difference in the quality of the painting<\/strong> it means. Another essential point is the choice of colors; It is recommended to start with the basics, which can be yellow ocher, alizarin crimson, mars black, titanium white and ultramarine blue. With them it is possible to create practically all the necessary colors, as long as they are mixed properly.<\/p>\n

The first purchase of brushes can be a bit arduous, given the wide variety, but this step depends largely on the experience. There are basically two categories according to which brushes are divided: the material<\/strong> of its bristles (most prefer synthetic ones) and the shape of its tip (round, cat's tongue or flat). Finally it is time to buy a palette where to mix and store the paint, and the surface on which to paint, that is, the canvas or the wood.<\/p>\n

Acrylic, finally, is the most common name of a plastic material<\/strong> that, for their features<\/strong>, it can stay in the open air for a long time without deteriorating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
