Eight reasons for me to love Acrylic medium
1. It can be used either as watercolor to produce delicate wash or like normal oil paints.
2. The paint dries quickly making it possible to apply layer after layer in the same session.
3. The painting doesn’t turn dull with time.
4. One can either get a matt or a glazing finish in his painting.
5. Retarders can be used to prevent the paint from drying too quickly.
6. Heavy impasto works can be created using texture paste.
7. Since the paints act as adhesives also one can mix sand to create special effects.

Shortfall:
1. It spoils expensive brushes and palettes
