Tips for working with acrylics Because acrylics dry so fast, squeeze only a little paint out of a tube at a time Keep a piece of paper towel or cloth next to your water jar and get into the habit of wiping your brushes on it every time you rise them. EVERY TIME. Because acrylics dry rapidly, you need to work fast if you wish to blend colors. Clean out your water pot frequently
