Acrylic Paint

Acrylic paint is made from pigments bound in a synthetic plastic binder or resin. The resins employed are acrylic and polyvinyl acetate (PVC).

The advantage of acrylic over oil paint is that it is quick drying, water-soluble when wet…, insoluble when dry. A wide variety of grounds can be painted on due to its strong adhesive qualities and resistance to chemical degradation, for this reason acrylic paint is often the preferred medium for large murals.

Acrylic paints were commercially developed in the 1940’s and marketed in the USA in the 1950’s. British artists including Hockney, Blake and Riley were introduced to acrylics in the sixties.

Collage

Collage is derived from the French words papiers coles or decoupage, used to describe techniques of pasting paper cut-outs onto a variety of surfaces.

Collages are examples of mixed media, combining a variety of materials including photographs, text, objects and paint.

The Cubists of 1912 were pioneers exploring the use of Collage, notably Picasso and Braque. Matisses’s large cut –outs produced in his later life are celebratory statements utilizing the simplicity of the process.
