Common Uses for Latex Acrylic Paints
Latex paint is a pretty basic term that includes all water-based paint. The binder which is mixed into latex paints is what gives it the strength and flexibility it is known for. Most times used for exterior and home painting, latex paints are used in a variety of different ways. Acrylic latex paints are the most durable in this category making it the most used and most valuable type of latex paint.
Acrylic latex house paints come in several different formulations. It is available as both an exterior and interior product. It can be purchased in a number of different sheens as well. This includes matte, low sheen, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss. It is highly used to exterior walls and panels as well as trim. Typically, this type of paint is applied with a brush, rollers, or airless sprayer. Of course, art easels are not necessary for these types of projects but painters tape and a ladder is often needed in conjunction with latex painting.
Latex paint does not actually have latex in it which makes it a healthier option for most people. Acrylic latex paints do have acrylic in them. Sometimes they are mixed with acrylic enamel which suits woodwork and trim on bathrooms and kitchens very well. These are ideal for moisture thick areas because they can withstand humidity and frequent cleaning like a champion. Enamel paints usually have a semi-gloss, satin, or high gloss finish. When blended with a quality glaze, walls will dry to a rich, translucent beauty that lasts for years on end.
Because of its fast drying time latex acrylic paints are often times used for fine arts and crafts. They are the most popular choice when it comes to painting canvases, furniture, and murals. Please note that latex paints are not suitable for flat surfaces with irregularities, ceilings, bathroom floors, or pools. For these types of applications, you will want to choose an epoxy or oil-based paint.
About the Author
What is the best acrylic paint to use when painting on canvas?
I would like to start painting and I noticed that people were using acrylic paint on canvas in the art work that I liked. Is that all there is to it? Are there any brands or types that are better than others?
In the United States at least, the very best and highest rated by artists is Golden. M.Graham is a close second. But unless you're not worried about your budget both of these brands cost 25% to 30% more than Liquitex Pro and twice the price as the lower end brands like Winsor & Newton's Galeria. Neither Golden nor M.Graham sell a lower priced 'student' version of their paint.
If you're just starting out I would suggest you start with something like Liquitex 'Basics' or W&N's 'Galeria' or Dick Blick's Acrylics. Wait until you're creating work your really proud of before moving up to the top of the line quality paints.
