do u use it just like arcylic ?





and which one is better for a portriat oil or arcylic?How d0 u use oil paints?
You need to thin it, in most cases.


With a medium, or just plain linseed oil.A bit like how you use water with watercolours.


You do generally need alot more space, and a ventilated area. As brush cleaners can be pretty potent.





Its much easier to blend, and takes ages to dry, unlike acrylic. Meaning you can mix colours on the canvas, and not worry too much about mixed colours drying out.





They're very different, oils take quite a while to get used to, but I much prefer them to acrylics now.How d0 u use oil paints?
When i decided to learn how to paint with oils i started by studying library art books and art magazines. My work can be checked out at hellosanantonio.com under artist name GUERRO1. I think oils are really great for portrait painting, it's slow drying time allows you to work the paint and make corrections if you have to. With acrylics if you make a mistake and it dries, going back is pretty much just covering a mistake.
