RE: Portrait Study 2 | Oil Painting

in #art7 years ago

For me, I am more comfortable with using oils in portraits because of the blending abilities of it. In acrylic since it dries quickly, most probably you will use the glazing technique, and I am not really a fan of that. And yep the time is a very big factor

Thanks for coming back to me. I am all about trying as many things and techniques while making some art. The thing is that when I try something new, I like that too, and after a while I have too many stuff lying around lol.. So the painting with oil or acrylic may have to wait a bit. But its good to have some more information.. thank you!

Hahaha! That's exactly how I feel right now. I have tried both paints, but it just really depends on you and what you're comfortable with. It's also good if you know every mediums, so still a win-win situation.
