What exactly is acrylic painting?
First of all, let me explain what acrylic painting is!
The acrylic paints used to create acrylic paintings have a feel more similar to watercolors than oil paints, making it a recommended art form for those who are thinking of starting painting.
To begin with, paints are made from two raw materials: (1) pigments, which provide color, and (2) fixatives, which act as a "glue" to adhere to paper.
Regarding acrylic paint, ② it does not use a fixative and instead uses acrylic resin, a type of plastic, which has five major advantages over regular paint .
1: Gloss unique to acrylic paintings
The acrylic resin used in acrylic paint has extremely high transparency, with a light transmittance of 94%, which is higher than glass. Therefore, it is possible to create art using the unique luster.
2: Short time taken to dry
Another major feature of acrylic paint is that it dries quickly. When used on paper, canvas, wood, and glass, it dries as quickly as watercolors.
3: High durability
Another major feature is its high durability after drying, allowing you to create works that are resistant to water and impact.
4: Can be used for materials other than paper
As mentioned above, acrylic paints can be used on any support, making them a highly versatile medium. It is used by professionals as it can create a wide variety of art using paper, canvas, glass, wood, stone, cloth, etc.
5: Can be layered
Finally, acrylic paints can be layered. Because it dries quickly, you can apply multiple coats without having to wait for a long time. By layering different colors, you can create unique art.

First, let us introduce you to this wonderful art drawn by Shidai that gives you a sense of Okinawa's history !

This piece is painted using fluid art, an art technique that uses the fluidity of acrylic paint to create marbling patterns without colors mixing together.

③【Rebelling against yourself】
Description of the work: ``By constantly rebelling and resisting your own weakness, which is always trying to move forward, you acquire a higher level of strength. ”
“Today’s famous quote”
``Something may happen to those who just wait, but it's only the leftovers of those who put in the effort.'' 》
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Abraham Lincoln
[Work concept]
With the theme of "Believing in the possibilities and living in the present," we incorporate the two elements of the past and the future into various motifs to express the present.
Various past experiences create future possibilities,
I believe that the uncertainty of the future, which no one knows, gives rise to hope for the future.
By focusing on those possibilities and hopes and living in the present, I believe that you can realize your ideals and create the strength to live your life in your own way.
The third wonderful piece of art is idogaeru 's work!
I had previously seen idogaeru 's works on display in person, and I felt that the use of colors was clear and that all of his works were very powerful.

⑩Mirror image
Description of the work: A mirror image of the self.
When I saw it in the crisp natural light of the morning, and when I saw it in the darkness before I fell asleep. When you look at it from a distance, and when you face it head-on... The way a work looks and feels doesn't always look the same.
A mirror image that reflects one's own deep psyche gives us time to face ourselves and reflect, and allows us to notice feelings that we have overlooked.
By using different paints depending on the reflectance of light, the work has a different impression depending on the viewing angle.
