Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with the other media.

Please refer to related link below

You will find a straight sided 1 liter (2 pints) plastic bucket with a flat bottom the ideal mixing container that is not too big, not too small. An eyedropper is valuable for adding small amounts of liquids like ammonia or defoamer. A plastic spray bottle can help keep the paint wet during mulling.

Depends on the type of paint Oil or Acrylic for instance? All paints include a pigment, that's pretty important because it determines the color. All paints contain some type of binding agent. This can be anything from waxes, resins, oils and gums. They also include some type of wetting agent or solvent that keeps it from drying out too quickly. http://www.paintmaking.com/basic_ingredients.htm

At its simplest, all paints consist of apigment(the color) and a vehicle ( the fluid that the pigment is mixed with)

Pigmentsare a fine powder until they are mixed with the vehicle.Every color comes from a different natural or synthetic source.

The vehicle usually defines what "kind of paint" you are using (IE watercolor has water for a vehicle, oil paintusually has linseed oil (other oils such as safflower and walnutcan be used for this purpose)
