I was wanting to make a base coat using acrylic, as a fast drying, simple background. Then, I was going to paint over it with oil. Would this work? I've heard oil and acrylic dont mix.Painting with Oil over Acrylic?
Yes it works.Painting with Oil over Acrylic?
You can tone your canvas with any acrylic base paint...gesso or acrylic paint. After it dries you can paint your painting with oil. I do everytime I paint.
i don't know, it think if it dried that it would be the same as working on any old canvas surface. Thats what i am doing to, but i haven't done the oil yet.
That's fine, go for it. I often use thinned down acrylic as underpainting and then finish the painting in oils. Just make sure it's dry before starting to oil paint. Samples of my work can be checked out at hellosanantonio.com under artist name ''Guerro'' in the local artists section.
The problem in a nutshell ... is there enough ';tooth'; on the acrylic for the Oil paint to adhere....
Most commercially primed canvasses today are primed with an acrylic... oil paint goes on fine...
if you have used matt medium with your acrylic or tinted/colored acrylic gesso you shouldn't have any problem.
If you have used gloss medium that could present a problem
what r you painting, if you are painting minatures i use water base and acrylic togther and it works fine i prime them first
Of course you can do that. Painters who paint in oil use acrylic as an underpainting all the time. As you said acrylic is fast drying and you don't have to wait a long time for the underpainting to dry before you begin painting will oil paints. Gesso is also acrylic.
Mixing oils and acrylics is only a problem if the slow drying oils are under the fast drying acrylics.
