I made the switch from oils to acrylics and it was very hard at first. But you will discover wonderful things about acrylic paints that oils can't do. And it's nice not having to have the chemicals needed to clean up. I've found that if I let things dry and then apply thin layers of washes it works a bit like glazing with oils.Dixie Sargent Redmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18290571323764327616noreply@blogger.com
