The Emotion of Colour
"Red" is passion and "Blue" is sad.
But red can be sad, blue can be passion. The mood of color changes all the time.
I drip, sling, pour, and even shake my canvas,
until the colour echoes each other in harmony.
I want to express what I am, although I often fail.
But I put my soul and energy into my works.
Light makes objects visible. When colours
communicate well, the composition of a painting
is form.

About Acrylic Paint
Acrylic;(Plastic Colour)
Developed during the 1940s, acrylic paints were intended for use in decorating. Containing pigment suspended in acrylic polymer (a type of plastic), the new paints were quick drying and could be thinned with water, yet they were water- resistant when dry.
By the 1960s, a version suitable for artists was widely available, and the arcylic paints used by contemporary artists have changed little since then. Easy to use, compatible with other materials (like chalk, pastel, or even sand), and suitable for use on most surfaces, acrylic paints are now available in matte, gloss, or silk (semi-matte).
