For our lovely customers who always ask: What's the difference between acrylic colors and poster colors? 🤔 Let’s find out! 🥰

🎨 Acrylic Colors

Texture: Thick and creamy (like butter), and available in different consistencies: light – medium – heavy.

Coverage: Excellent. It covers previous layers easily.

Drying: Dries quickly and becomes water-resistant after drying.

Best surfaces: Works great on canvas, wood, thick paper, and fabric.

Usage:

 Can be used in two ways:

 – Diluted with water to act like watercolor

 – Or used thick for texture and bold details.

🖌️ Poster / Gouache Colors

Texture: Lighter than acrylic, but heavier than watercolor. Usually matte and easy to spread.

Coverage: High, but generally less than acrylic.

 Can get chalky or powdery if over-diluted with water.

Drying: Not water-resistant after drying — it can smudge or dissolve if sprayed with water.

Best surfaces: Mainly designed for use on paper.

Common use: Popular in school art projects and simple design work.
