Do you love to work with acrylic paint but you just can’t afford professional supplies?  Keep reading, because this post if for you.

Not all artists realize this, but you don’t have to spend a fortune to find good quality acrylic paint these days.  You can find some great deals on quality acrylic paint supplies without leaving your home.

I have listed them both below along with descriptions and links to where you can purchase them from Dick Blick, one of my favorite online Art Suppliers.

Just below, you will also find a video from Blick Art Materials which talks more about these wonderful acrylic paints and also demonstrates how to use them. Enjoy!
