How to make acrylic paints with dry pigments

In fact, it is with the organic pigments that you will have these problems and it is due of their low density. Since these pigments are less heavy than water: they float over it. Therefore they are almost impossible to disperse in this liquid.

Density: The ratio between mass (weight) and volume (space). For example, a pillow made of feathers has a low density (low mass/large volume) and a lead ball has a high density (heavy mass/low volume). In our example the organic pigments have an inferior density than the solvent we wish to use (water).
