What are acrylic paintings?

Acrylic paintings are a type of art that decorate your spaces using water-soluble resin paint, which dries quickly to become waterproof. It produces an image similar to the look and feel of oil paintings but with the colorful blur of watercolors. Acrylic paintings on canvas are very popular. As a versatile paint, you can also find acrylics on all sorts of materials, such as wooden signs and ceramic dishes, or you can use them to decorate scratched-up vinyl records.

What are some popular styles of acrylic paintings?

Abstract acrylic paintings are almost as popular as landscapes, and the two dominate the top of the acrylic painting world. Due to the natural flowing lines, many acrylic landscape paintings gravitate toward natural scenes where the colors take center stage with realism and details. Like much abstract art, acrylic paintings tell stories woven with just enough detail to arouse emotion without explaining the paintings fully. Definition and lines tend to be blurred, which allows room for interpretation of the scene yet gives you enough of an idea of what the image is to fall in love with it. As such, acrylic scenes let you see the wind wisp through trees and clouds gather over the sky, or they can leave it in your hands to determine what may be going on.

What are some ways to decorate with acrylic paintings?

You can place acrylic paintings anywhere you might want to hang wall decor , such as above your sofa or in your bedroom. When decorating, consider a theme you might want for the space and look for art and decorations that reinforce that theme. For example, you might get a landscape acrylic painting of a sunny beach while the sun sets, pair it with some sand in a jar and seashells, and have a coastal look in your bathroom. If you have a modern interior, look for an abstract painting with bright but soft colors such as whites and grays, sky blue, or forest green. This will give your room a pop of color but feel sleek and intentional. Some acrylic paintings might lay the paint on thick and add texture. You could pair this with a mountain scene or in an office where you have a globe and a few books of places you love to travel.
