Acrylic colour
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from Painting Techniques, students learn how acrylic colours behave, how to prepare and use brushes, and how to mix colours to create tints, shades, tones, and harmonious combinations. They explore opaque and transparent effects, layering, blending, dry-brush work, and texture on suitable surfaces such as paper, canvas, or board. The topic also develops control of colour, light, detail, and composition while encouraging safe, economical, and careful handling of materials.

Which brush is suitable for making a thin line in watercolour?
The governing concept is brush control: a thin pointed brush has a narrow, flexible tip that can hold a small amount of paint and release it in a controlled line. Therefore, option A is correct for outlines and fine details.
What is a major characteristic of acrylic colour?
Acrylic colour is a water-based painting medium that generally dries relatively quickly, forming a durable film after the water evaporates. This quick drying allows layering but gives the artist less time for wet blending, so colours may need to be mixed promptly.
What can be used to thin wet acrylic colour?
Wet acrylic colour is water-based, so a small amount of clean water can be added to reduce its thickness and improve flow. Option B is correct.
