The acrylic painting -shown bellow- titled "Mucho Merlot", 18" by 14", painted on heavy-weight cotton paper, is an example of Vico's work, a Mexican artist living and working in Ensenada, Baja California.
Acrylic colors dry very fast since their pigments are suspended in an polymer emulsion. This medium may be diluted with water. However it is very resistant to water when dry.
The main difference between oil paint and acrylics is the drying time. Oil paint dries to the touch in one week, while the second dries in less than 30 minutes.
Besides, this polymer based medium is highly resistant to the passage of time thanks to their emulsion form.
For these two reasons Vico has chosen this full-bodied paint to express himself. It allows him to create heavily textured works.
