History of Acrylic Paint
Barron Education Series (2007) Painting with Acrylics revealed the history of this great medium. The inception of acrylic began in the 1920s when a group of Mexican painters wanted to experiment a different medium which could withstand the weather. Acrylic paint was born as a result of the painters experimenting with synthetic resin.
According to Barron, synthetic resin showed resistance to the weather and dries quickly. The popularity of acrylic intensified in the 1950s and continued up until today. Artist world-wide found the versatility of this new medium which add zest to their painting.
