A demonstration of blending with acrylic paint.
As linseed oil contains a smaller molecule than acrylic paint, oil paint is able to absorb substantially more pigment.
However, acrylic paint can be applied to a raw canvas if so desired without any negative effect or chemical reaction (the case with oil paint).
Meanwhile, acrylic paint is very elastic, which prevents cracking from occurring.
Mixing artist or student grade acrylic paint with household acrylic emulsions is possible, allowing the use of premixed tints straight from the tube or tin, and thereby presenting the painter with a vast color range at their disposal.
Oil paint has a higher pigment load than acrylic paint.
