Goldfinch - first attempt at acrylic painting

[Ocelot II]

5. Quick drying is just one of the things I don't like.

The paint dries before you can mix your colors so you end up with unusable dried-up blobs. If you get it on yourself or your clothes and it dries you can't get it off, ever. It's opaque but not quite opaque enough unless you slather it on thickly, and at the same time you can't do a proper glaze by watering it down to some level of transparency because it still dries too fast and won't go on smoothly, which is why it also sucks as a substitute for water color. If you have a style that uses bright colors and not a lot of picky detail I could see how it might work, but it doesn't work for me.
