So I ended up buying (due to rush) a watercolor board for an intended acrylic painting…since they’re both thinned with water, is is safe for me to use acrylic paint on a watercolor board?
Yes, you can use acrylic on most surfaces including watercolor paper/board. Good luck on the project!
Can I paint with acrylics on a watercolor board?

Safe? Of course it’s safe. Did you imagine that you would cause some kind of explosion? Since they are both water-based paints, doesn’t it stand to reason that you could use either of them on watercolor board?

I would prime the board with acrylic gesso so that the board isn’t too absorbent. Also, if the board starts warping, coat the reverse side with gesso (I think board needs an odd number of coats, or something like that.

I would coat it with Gesso first and then ENJOY
