Is it ok to paint oils on top of acrylic, and what is the effect long term?

Sure, you can paint oil over acrylics, but never paint acrylic over oils. It will not last. If you have ever watched Bob Ross paint he often used acrylics to get a dark background under his oil highlights when he painted trees. The result is quite nice.Is it ok to paint oils on top of acrylic, and what is the effect long term?
I have always been told not to mix them but I have done so with some practice paintings and they still look OK a few years down the line but it probably isn't a good idea if you are painting masterpieces.Is it ok to paint oils on top of acrylic, and what is the effect long term?
it's OK to paint oils over acrylic, if the acrylic layer is dry. Never try to paint acrylics over oils, because it's not going to last. The acrylic will peel off in no time.


Also, don't mix oils with acrylics. One is oil based and the other one water-based, so they are going to reject the other's composition. The effects could be appealing, but it's not meant to last.
Yeah sure but bear in mind oils and acrylics are quite different and it may be noticeable that you've changed media besides you can only paint with oils on canvas so if the acrylic painting is on paper...well....don't try it!!
