ACRYLIC Acrylic paint is a quick-drying, water-soluble kind of paint that artists often use instead of oil paint or watercolors. The original meaning of acrylic
was "containing acryl," from acrolein, the sharp, bitter liquid in
onions, rooted in the Latin words acer, "sharp," and olere, "to smell."
