Acrylic paints tend to be waterproof to a certain extent. But it's always better to seal your work with good quality varnish to be safe. Preferably a liquid varnish. Not only it protects it from water, but also from any fading that might happen over years.

Most acrylic paint brands are relatively water resistant. However repetitive water exposure and other elements can affect the life of your acrylic painting. By applying a layer of varnish your acrylic paint will be protected from water for longer.

Acrylic paint is an oil-based product, so it doesn't contain any waterproofing agents. Therefore, if it has not been sealed, it will lose its color when exposed to water. If you want to protect your acrylic painting, you need to seal it.
