If you have ever used paint before, whether it be Acrylic, Watercolor, etc., you know that it has different effects depending on the type of medium of which you're preforming on. Paint of any type will usually bleed through or bend normal, thing sheet paper, as to where paint will slab into thick coats on canvas or even poster board, which is just above average thickness of normal paper. However, these effects do not only differ depending on the medium, but also the brushes and style of which they're applied. We'll use two types of very commonly used paint styles; Acrylic and Watercolor.
Acrylic:
If prepared and contained correctly, Acrylic paint should be a very thick, vibrant, and colorful paint when seen in the bottle (tube, canister, bucket, etc.) and is meant to be spread across the medium in different lengths and amounts to show value and depth of the image that is being created. The effects will fade over time if the painting is not contained and framed correctly, which is different than it's long lasting counterpart, Oil based paint. Here's and example of an Acrylic painting.
Watercolor:
Watercolor paint is a very brightly colored paint that is meant to either, if used on paper, fade and add an effect of value, or if used on yupo paper stay very bright and liquid looking. Watercolor can be altered in many ways and is considered to be almost a little controversial in the art world, jokingly of course. Watercolor can Retain deep colors or spread and become very soft and dim in color. Here's an example of a Watercolor painting.
