Why paint with acrylics?

Why should you paint with acrylic paint? These are some simple reasons why I live acrylic.

1. They dry much faster than oil.
2. The colors mix well together Wich is good for beginners.
3. No need for paint thinner to clean your brush.
4. Using water to dilute the acrylic allows the paint to last longer.
5. Diluting the paint a lot makes the acrylic to work like water color.
6. Since it dries much faster you can add multiple layers within the same day.

Overall after using both acrylic and oil, I found that acrylic is less messy, easier to work with and allows you to complete paintings faster. Maybe when I get more experience I will branch out and use oil.
