I'm an artist and my preference is to work with acrylic paint - I like that once it dries it is water-resistant
so is acrylic paint different from oil paint?
Yes, acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint, whereas oil paint can take a long time to dry. 
so that means there are made from different material and chemicals then
Oil pant can have a strong odour that can bother some people.  I like to use acrylic paint - it's usually used in art classes in schools
yeah i remember in school we used I guess acrylic paint since it did not have an order to it
Right, and it doesn't usually leave a stain, unlike oil paint
i guess anything made out of oil leaves a stain even paint
