A Test: Acrylic Versus Craft Paint

I’m back today with a fun guest post over at Teal & Lime. This month I did a test comparing acrylic paint versus craft paint.

As part of the test I painted three mediums:

• canvas
• card stock
• wood

I showed you how I painted the canvases earlier this week.

Today I want to share more details on how I performed the card stock and wood tests.

Painting Wooden Whales

For the wood I chose these adorable wooden whales.

Then I used a blue metallic blue paint in both acrylic and craft paint.

They are just so cute! I couldn’t help but pick these as my test samples.

The Card Stock Test

Next up was the card stock test.

I chose four pretty shades in both types of paint and just did a simple block pattern.

These were so simple to do and fun to make! I might even stick them behind a frame and put them around the house. For now I’ve used washi tape to put them on the wall.

Make sure to check out my post over on Teal & Lime to see the results of my acrylic versus craft paint test!
