(Can take weeks.) Oils are actually better--if you don't use paint solvents at all.<br /><br />Good luck. I'm betting you'll figure out a method with acrylic that you like. But it'll never be the same as oils. (Kind of like the analog/digital divide in records.)Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-89014573154715958192012-06-12T13:58:31.136-05:002012-06-12T13:58:31.136-05:00I'm working with acrylic at present.

I keep returning to the way I worked in oils (layers of glaze, except thin to thick. <br /><br />Mr V aquired, later in life, sensitivities to solvents. He worked in Venice creating those giant fiber glass Lumber Jacks, cows etc, which might be the cause. Goes mad when I try to sneak oils past him.Pasadena Adjacenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031325790590238246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-78511899802165541072012-06-10T22:50:46.113-05:002012-06-10T22:50:46.113-05:00Margaret, it's kind of like you and bacon.

I know what you mean about missing the smear of oils; that was my problem with Rain after getting reacquainted with oils through those portraits and loving the luxury of the smear. A spray bottle sometimes gives you what you want from acrylics, but you have to paint on a surface level with the ground and you have to work fast. Fingers and palms are good too.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.com
