A la prima • Is using neither water nor mediums as diluents, the saturated paints can be manipulated on the surface. • Technique remains workable on the surface for several minutes, allowing for wet in wet blending and textural manipulation. • Splatter, pull or drip
Extrusion • Is drawing lines with acrylic paint. • Is ideal for incorporating linear details and text into a painting. • Is great for creating relief textures.
Blending • Can be done with acrylic on the palette, or directly on the support using a variety of methods. • Is most effective when completed rapidly • broken colour can be achieved by applying raw colour progressively varying tones directly onto the surface produces an optical colour blend with a distinctive impasto texture
Impasto The word "impasto" is Italian in origin; in that language it means "dough" or "mixture"; the verb "impastare" translates variously as "to knead", or "to paste". In English, the borrowed Italian word impasto most commonly refers to a technique used in painting. Where paint is laid on an area of the surface (or the entire canvas) very thickly, usually thickly enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible.
Staining • Can be achieved by applying, then quickly removing acrylic colours using a lightly dampened sponge.
Feathering (or Dry brush) • Relies on the drying speed of the paint on an absorbent ground. • is created when a dry brush is used to pull paint across a dry surface using quick brushstrokes.
Underpainting • Is a means of delineating colour areas and/or providing a luminous backdrop for progressive colour layering and glazing.

Sgraffito • Makes use of two layers of colour, one dry, one wet. Wet colour is painted over the dried underpaint, and, while still wet, it is scratched into with a tool to reveal the underlying colour.
Glazing • Is the use of watered-down, transparent paint but here that term refers to a painting process where a clear acrylic medium is tinted with transparent or translucent colour. • Is used to produce rich surfaces with great colour depth.
Encaustic • is an ancient technique based on working with wax as a painting binder and medium. Can endure melting under hot lights or be prone to the ill effects of mildew.
Acrylic transfers • Essentially grab the ink layer of a copied or printed material and embed it into the acrylic film. • Can be created by: • The image is first covered with a clear-drying acrylic medium. Once the acrylic has dried, the paper is rubbed away, leaving the ink safely logged into the acrylic sheet.
