Acrylic impasto. Volumetric acrylic technique with a secret ingredient!
Greetings to lovers of acrylic painting!
Indeed, acrylic paints create worthy competition for oil, they are durable, opaque, bright and beautiful. they can create almost indistinguishable works from oil works.
Of course, acrylics are synthetic paints and, unlike oil, colors must be mixed carefully so that they look natural
Also, a significant difference from oil paints in acrylic is volume. The oil has a voluminous texture, even with a smooth painting, oil strokes are alive, they have a shine, acrylic, unfortunately, creates a matte surface.
It is good that today there are various means, and once you understand them properly, you can simulate both the shine and volume of acrylic paint so that only a very picky expert can distinguish it from oil.
Moreover, acrylic has many more useful qualities. It is not toxic, unlike oil, it dries quickly, which is also very convenient.
