Canvas Thread

If you think acrylics are hard, oil paints are going to drive you insane. And because you are so used to acrylics, you might forget that they take a while to dry- this will eventually lead to smudging, it happens often. And I just hate seeing smudges on anything I do.

 

And as far as blending with oils go, pffffft... I don't know. Just keep on painting and you'll get the hand of it. I just started using oils too, I think they're annoying. By the way, there might be applications that will slow down the drying process of acrylics in a Michael's (that art/craft's store) in your area.

 

I have a canvas from like a year ago that I haven't even finished or touched in a while. I'll try to get a flick of it, quit horrible and not even close to being finished.

ps- BTW, I am by no means an expert or anything like that. I just picked up these paint shits a while back. You can only do black and white drawings for so long. And um... Why don't you just try blending with watercolors? They are a lot easier to work with.

 

are you kidding? oil is superior in almost every aspects vs acrylic. colors are richer, more vibrant, way more forgiving. have you ever taken a painting course or ?

Hi,

 

and what the fuck are you referring to? I never said anything along the lines of "Acrylics are better than oils", I just said Oils are harder to use. But that's just my opinion. And no my dude, I have never taken any oil painting courses, thugs usually don't.

 

 

thug life,

I sound aggrivated, I'm not. It's just the um, my thug persona.

you dont need to act like a hardass, the fact that you do canvases and own a computer and internet speaks for itself.

as far as oils vs acrylic.. its really up to the person.. and what you are painting.. sometimes acrylic's plastic look might work best for you.. or the flexibility of oils mgiht. If you want your acrylics to dry slower so you can blend more, theres a product called redarder.. it slows the drying process.. But i think you need to try both, oils can ofer alot more and a tube of oil last much longer than a tube of acrylic..
