Is there a way to get a drip of paint off an acrylic painting?

I am working on an acrylic painting and I got a drip of color (black of course) that ran down the canvas. The section it dripped on is a much lighter color. Now that area looks terrible. Is there a way to clean the paint off while keeping the lighter color in tact, or would it be better to repaint the area where the drip is?Is there a way to get a drip of paint off an acrylic painting?
It would be better to wait until that area dries, and then to repaint it. I have had that happen before with the ornaments that i paint, and just wait for the area to dry, and then I repaint them.Is there a way to get a drip of paint off an acrylic painting?
It is difficult to say without seeing it, and in person even better. Determining the best way depends on the painting. There would probably be some residue left if you could remove it. Sometimes you can peel the paint right off if it was dripped onto a smooth area. Being black you will have some trouble covering it. Even what is labeled opaque is more transparent than will usually cover black. It might take more than one careful application of paint to cover this up.
