Not that you can lift normal paint but you can still move it around a little once it's dry with water or more paint if you really needed too. Plus Acrylic is more expensive D: all you can really do to fix something with acrylic is to add more paint, which can make it heavy.

My favorite is watercolor, I have a set of tubes with a lot of different colors and they'll last me forever, since you don't need that much (and you can lift it ^^) It's different but you can control the thickness of it if you wanted too.

what do you mean by "normal" paint? As far as I know there is tempera, (which is impossible. its dries chalky), acrylic (dries at my pace and I LOVE layers oil, which is the most expensive in all, and it takes a month to dry, and water color. There there are student grade everything. (which makes acrylics cheaper in bulk because they are much runnier) I use water color occasionally. But What I do most often is paint with acrylic like it is water color, by using a lot of water, and I constantly wipe the access with paper towels, and save the paper towels, and draw on them once they are colorful or use them in collages. check out my new post if you wanna see examples.
