In high school while painting my first acrylics, there was a question as to how long they would last. My art teacher told me nobody knew for sure, since it was such a relatively new medium- a couple of decades perhaps. Well I still have some of those paintings today, and they appear as vivid as the day I painted them. The only variable seems to be the quality of the substrate or canvas. In college, I painted on gessoed fine linen canvas and used the highest-quality acrylic paint available at that time. The paintings are still in pristine condition. Fast forward forty years. The quality of the paint that I use is superb, and I will only paint on substrates ( canvas or gessoed panels) that are the top of the line. I am confident that my acrylic paintings will last hundreds of years into the future.
Acrylic Paintings
With acrylic and oil paintings, I use a technique called indirect painting. This is a very time and labor-intensive process which starts with an under-painting. The final colors and tonal values in the image are built up gradually by placing several layers of paint and glazing one over the other. Each layer must be allowed to dry completely before applying the next. Building up the glazing helps to reflect light and create depth in the painting.

Many of my acrylic paintings are framed and hang unfinished in my painting studio. About a half dozen at various stations of completion surround me as I draw and paint current projects. When I need a break from whatever project is at hand, be it a detailed pencil drawing or watercolor painting, an acrylic painting gets my attention for a time. Some pieces may take me a few years before I feel they are finished.
