Acrylic Paint.
In the 1930's,
Mexican outdoor mural painters needed to find a new durable paint to stand up
to wind, rain, and high humidity. They began to experiment with chemical or synthetic
resins as paint binding agents (binding agents, such as egg or oil, are mixed
with dry pigments to make paints). By the mid-1950's,
researchers in Mexico and the United States had developed a way to mix resins
with water, which created a paint that was almost identical to oils,
yet was more durable and dried quickly. Acrylic
paint also made it possible for artists to work on any unprimed surface such as
cement or concrete. Acrylic paint will not crack over time and can be mixed and
cleaned up with water.
