Research Paper • Acrylic paint is a versatile medium that has been used throughout its rather short history by many artists to produce their magnificent works. There are many skills, techniques, and tools needed to produce an aesthetically pleasing piece of artwork using the combination of color, composition, and technique in harmony. • Paint makers such as Sam Golden had problems such as paint drying to fast while trying to invent the painting medium which resulted in a long development process to get it just right. • Artist whom pioneered the medium when it was in its first stages of development include Jackson Pollock, know for his large scale drip paintings and Kenneth Noland known for his abstract color field paintings.
