I'm looking for ideas - always! Came upon an oil painting lesson. Really informative. I've NEVER tried oils. Can't even believe it myself. I'm curious about the trade offs. Acrylics dry quicker, I know. They give me the chance to keep progressing toward a finished piece of art. Quickly. There must be advantages that I'm just oblivious to. I know oils give you better control of paint mixing but is it worth sacrificing patience for? Maybe I'll have to try. See the lesson here.
