Yes, you can use water to thin acrylic paint as acrylic paint is a water-based paint.
When you are using a brush to paint your model, water is the best thing for the job.
When you are thinning your paint use just a small amount of water to start with, and add more to get the exact consistency that meets your requirements.
If you need to thin more paint in the future, it is a good idea to record the thinning ratio. The best way to achieve this is by using a syringe so you will get the same mix every time.
If you are using an airbrush it is best to use an acrylic thinner as the thinner helps the flow through the airbrush.
