Steps to Follow: How to Write on Acrylic Paint
Here are the steps you need to follow on how to write on acrylic paint.
Step 1:
Choose an acrylic paint color you would like to write with. Acrylic paint is semi-transparent, which means that if you layer one color over another, the original color will still be visible.
Step 2:
Use your regular pencil to write on top of your acrylic paint (the regular pencil works best because it’s easier to erase than a traditional pen). Make sure to press hard on your pencil so that the lead will leave an imprint.
Step 3:
Once you finish writing, take your paintbrush and dip it into some water. Once the brush is wet, tap it against the side of the container so that excess water runs off. Then touch it against your pencil. You should find that your pencil marks wipe away easily.
Step 4:
If you dislike the result, let your acrylic paint dry and write on it again. This is important for two reasons: (1) If there are streaks or blotches in your writing, rewet the area with the brush to remove them; (2) if you let it dry first, then try to erase the lettering after the paint is wet, it becomes difficult to remove marks.
Step 5:
Continue on writing until you have finished. Then let your artwork dry before handling it again. It will take about an hour or two for the acrylic paint to dry completely, depending on humidity levels and to dry place. Let the paint dry for a few more hours if any places still feel damp.
Step 6:
The finished product can be washed without it being removed from the surface. If you have any smudges or discoloration, wash your piece of artwork to erase them and start over. Then allow it to dry before using it again.

Tips for Writing on Acrylic Paint:
1. Ensure the paint is completely dry before adding another layer. If you try to write on wet or tacky paint, it will bleed, and you’ll ruin your artwork.
2. If your maker stops working, you may need to shake the marker. If that doesn’t help, try gently tapping it against a flat surface so the ink can reach all of the bristles.
3. The paint can be removed with alcohol. Spray the design, wait one minute, and wipe away with a paper towel or cotton ball.
4. Be sure to use permanent markers rather than regular markers because non-permanent ink will smudge when it touches water.
5. If you’re painting on glass, you need to seal in your art. Otherwise, the paint will come off. Use a spray varnish or acrylic resin to seal your art on glass.
6. You can also find transfer paper to trace over your design and stamp it onto the surface with ink pads, so you don’t have to do all of the work by hand.
7. Test your marker on a small surface area you intend to use. Some surfaces may cause your marker to bleed or fade more quickly than usual, so always do a test before writing on large areas.
8. If you have any problems with your markers, try cleaning them out by holding them under warm water for about 30 seconds and then shaking off the excess.
Conclusion:
To summarize, you’ll need acrylic paint, a thick brush (a round foam one is perfect), and paper. Start by dipping your brush into the paint and then pressing it against the paper. Then just let go of the pressure while moving up or down with that same motion until you get more paint on top of what’s already there.
