But also oils blend more easily than acrylics, you can certainly learn to do it just as easily with acrylics but right out the gate oils are easier on that front.

i love how fast impasto can happen with acrylic, doesnt take long to wait for the layers to dry, then add some gel medium. thiiiccckkkk

Oils will be dry to the touch within a couple of days or weeks depending on the oil application, however you can only varnish the painting at least 6 months after it has dried or else the varshish will dry before the paint has fully and the varnish will give a crackled effect

Okay, I know very little about oil or acrylic paint, so my information might be wrong, but for acrylic paint it can be glossy and sheer too like oils, it just depends what type of acrylic. If you want a matte, thick layer with no gloss, use "matte" acrylic piant. If you want sheer, glossy acrylic paint, use "satin" acrylic paint. Satin paint can also be used on more surfaces. I use both, but I prefer matte. Also, I heard a professional oil painter say that oil does not actually really dry, it more like "cures". Is "curing" the same as drying?

I love oil paint. Everything about it, the smell, the texture and all the different attributes of each pigment.

Oil is way more investment upfront so it’s definitely not the best medium for beginners/people not willing to spend over 200USD if they want a decent starter kit. Still worth it IMO. My worst oils look like they could be in a museum ngl 😂

I fell in love with oils from the moment I first tried them in high school art class. Unfortunately they are too expensive for me now but really acrylic cannot compare. I love the ability to perfectly control opacity with thinner, the fact you can mess with the wet paint for days, and omg the beautiful texture you can get. I miss it sm 😭

This video and detail that acrylics can dry darker is what made me decide to give oil painting a proper try and I'm so glad I did!
I'm used to watercolor and having to plan around it drying lighter, which can feel hard to predict if the humidity is low, the a/c or heater is on, etc. versus the binder just evaporating and curing. There's a lot to learn when working with mediums that can get lighter or darker when it dries, but alleviating that concern in at least one medium allows me to focus on learning other things that could also apply to other mediums.

yeah its no wonder why most acrylic painters used indirect method like Glazing Too make it look painted in oil

Im really impatient for paintings to dry so I use acrylic paint but I water them down with black and then I water down the colors more, I think they look quite cool when I water them down, it’s like a stylized way for ppl who is broke for watercolor but not broke for applebarrel paint

[papaspaulding]

Ironically when using acrylics Ill use more old masters oil techniques yet when using oils will paint more alla prima for the most part. both are great both have their pros and cons over each other

Paint is never completely safe. Heavy metals like cadmium and cobalt can quickly leech into your skin, especially with oil paint. Always wear protective clothing

[benicio]

Wow!!! I knew oils took longer to dry but I never knew they took that long.

[Kodi_theoryorigin]

I started oil painting a few days and i was very concerned that they dont dry.after this video im way more okay with my paints nkt drying😅

[slingknees]

I don’t understand the ‘oils are hard to clean’ argument. I can let a wet brush full of oil paint sit for like two days, pick it up, wipe it off and keep going from where I left off. If you accidentally let acrylic sit on a brush for thirty minutes, that brush is toast. You can clean oil paint off your stuff with soap, but often don’t need to because it’s still wet-you can just wipe it away. Acrylic, again, will dry so fast that it needs to be scraped away instead of washed off, and depending on the surface, this can be anywhere from easy (table surface) to near-impossible (clothing fibres). Not to detract from acrylics, but I think people don’t need to be as intimidated by oils as they’re told to be

[ketchups]

Also (oils) use rags!!! And get a fireproof bin for olds

[outtadablu]

How are commissions sent out w such a long drying time w the oil paints? What’s tht like ?

[jackylegge]

Being an oil painter I can tell you that they dry in 3 days depending on the thickness of the paint one can buy quick drying oil painting that dries overnight

[danielfernandeznungaray]

Oils need literally like a 100 years to completely dry

[greensaintjester]

I accidentally picked my nose while i was using oil painting. I am still a beginner at oil pain.. So i had paint's in my finger💀... So yeah i suffocated aftrr sniffing oil pain..
Try and improve and Stay save yall 😂
