The vehicle and binder of oil paints is linseed oil or another drying oil, whereas water serves as the vehicle for an emulsion (suspension) of acrylic polymer that is the binder in acrylic paint. Thus, oil paint is said to be "oil-based", while acrylic paint is "water-based" (or sometimes "water-borne").

@primitiveflesh lol - ALL acrylic paints are oil based - they are pigment suspended in a plastic polymer - plastic is made from oil.
