Acrylics vs. Oils

 

I’m giving a private painting lesson to two
people on Saturday, and they want to use acrylics.
It’s been a while since I’ve used them,
so I thought I’d try them out today.

“Love in the Air”
16 x 12 acrylic on canvas paper
I’d forgotten that acrylics dry so quickly;
the edges are more difficult to manage.
I also miss the thick, buttery feel of oils.
Part of me wants to paint over this in oil.
NOTE:
Frank Siteman of Winchester, MA, took the photo,
and my son sent it to me for possible subject matter!
(He knows me so well)
