ACRYLICS   PAINT   IS  MADE  BY  MIXING  PIGMENTS with  a   synthetic   resin  .It  can  be  thinned  with  water    but  dries   to  become  water  insoluble.Acrylics  
 are  applied  to  many  surfaces  ,such  as  paper  and  acrylic 
-primed  board   and  canvas.A  variety  of  brushes ,painting knives  ,
 rollers,air  brushes,plastic scrapers  are  used  in   Acrylic  painting.The  versatility   of  Acrylics  make  them   suitable   for  a  wide   ran  of  techniques   .They  can   be   used   opaquely  or  by  adding  water-  in  a  transparent ,watercolor  style.Acrylic  mediums  can    be  added to  the  paint  to   adjust  its  consistency  for  special  effects     such a 
small glazing  and  impasto  (ridges  of  paint  applied  in  thick  strokes) or  to  make  it  more  matt or  glossy.Acrylics  are   quick  -drying ,  which  allow  layers     of  paint   to  be  applied  on  top  of   each other  almost  immediately.PASTELS- PASTELS ARE STICKS OF PIGMENT made by making ground pigment with chalk and a binding medium such as gum Arabic.They vary in hardness depending on the proportion of the binding medium to the chalk.Soft pastel- the most common form of pastel -contain just enough binding medium to hold the pigment in stick form.Pastel can be applied directly to any support (surface) with sufficient tooth (texture). When a pastel is drawn over a textured surface , the pigment crumbles and lodges in the fibers of the support .Pastel marks have a particular soft, Matt quality and are suitable for techniques such as blending, scumbling,, and feathering .Blending is a technique of rubbing and fusing two or more colors on the support using fingers or various tools such as soft hair brushes ,putty eraser, and soft bread.Scum bling ,is a technique of building up layers of pastel colors.The side or blunted tip of a soft pastel is lightly drawn over an under painted area so that patches of the color beneath show through Feathering is a technique of applying parallel strokes of color with the point of pastel.,usually over an existing layer of pastel color.A thin spray of fixative can be applied using a mouth diff user, or in between layers of color to prevent smudging .
