The Advantages Of Acrylic And The Development Of Renaissance Acrylic Paintings

By Scott Ward


Art is a quintessential staple of the human enterprise. It is something that has been greatly vamped up, spruced up, and thoroughly innovated with all kinds of techniques, methods, and materials. There are all kinds of art forms and genres, and they have all gone through the cyclical highs and lows. Acrylic is a kind of paint that has only recently taken flight, and the Renaissance was an advent of the arts way back into the fourteenth century. These two had never met along the same parallel line. However, that does not stop us from merging them with these renaissance acrylic paintings.

Acrylic paints are relatively new inventions. To be more specific, they were a twentieth century innovation. However, they are bettered and refined with each passing year, causing this media to be a significantly successful commercial paint. That makes it worthy to be used in whole hosts of genres, even the Renaissance greats.

Acrylic has a whole host of distinctive attributes and characteristics. On top of everything else, its versatile, durable, and also dries immediately. Its expressed vibrancy also draws on the stares of universal admirers. It colors are bright and the lines and brushstrokes are sharp and definitive. The paint is also very much versatile since it can be applied to various surfaces and media. In sum, its something that proffers a whole gamut of creative potential to the creative and innovative artist.

Aside from being welcoming to a whole array of other mediums, acrylics also have the ability to bond durably with various surfaces. They may be applied on paper, canvas, wood, fiberboards and other surface materials with superb results each time. They can be used in thin layers to create watercolor effects, or else admixed with gel and molding paste to create thick relief features. Where the canvas is wet, it is necessary to apply a sealant beforehand.

This paint is preferable because its not high maintenance. One only needs a few simple tools, contrast that with the comprehensive supplies involved in oil painting, with all the solvents, mediums, gesso, and the necessary means of ventilation. With acrylic, however, you only need the basics, the paint, brush, and medium. Its as easy as that.

Aside from that, you have tempera, in which the pigment is mixed with egg, which in turn vamps up its viscosity and makes the paint dry off for a longer time. Oil paints greatly revolutionized the Renaissance era. Unlike fresco, it proffers a translucent and glimmering finish, as opposed to the opaque and matte appearance. It also offered a wider array of colors, which made more room for experimentations and greatly heralded more realistic and visual forms.

Acrylic was not a thing then. And it plays with our minds to re imagine the greatest artworks of the period, from the Mona List, the Last Supper, the Birth of Venus, and other famous works by da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Titian, and others in the great, bold colors of this type of paint. That is indeed something that will allow us to see the classics in a better light, literally and figuratively.

It can be sourced either inside jars or in tubes. Consider portability, convenience, and of course, your budget. There are even fluid acrylics that come in plastic squeeze bottles that have drippers or screw tops. In each of these containers, there are different consistencies and thicknesses. Tube acrylics are generally viscous and more akin to oil. Those in jars are usually thicker, but they even out once you apply them on the palette or else pitch in the fillers.

Paintings are great testaments to history. Great ones serve as heirlooms, which are passed generation to generation. They document great many things, from histories to ways of life. With its long and considerable history, nearly everything has been said and done. With newer technologies and innovations, however, we are constantly finding ways to bring back old tropes with newfangled ways and means.
