Do you recommend painting with oils or water colors?

AnneMarie39 @AnneMarie39 (77) • United States 28 Jun 08

I started painting about 7 months ago. I have only painted with acrylics on canvas so far. What do you recommend? Should I try oils or water colors next. How do they differ from using acrylics?

rtutsky Hi Anne, I haven't used acrylics since my college days at Paier School of Art. Back then they didn't have the retarders to slow the drying time of acrylic paint as they do now. I always thought that the colors of acrylic paint looked a bit dead and chalky...

rtutsky Hi shar, Here's an idea that you can try that won't cost you anything but in time can get you some exposure... Set up your own blog on http://blogspot.com. It's Google's own blog program and there are a ton of folks who paint that have a blog through them....

rtutsky Hi arpitaman, I can reason with your dilema, ie; learning how to paint on a shoestring. I have been painting and drawing for over 30 years and earlier during that time I was self taught. I later went on to 4 years of college to learn the craft. Believe me,...

rtutsky Hey Kats, I live alone and am always thinking of ways to eat well but inexpensive. One of my favorites is my homemade Rob's Killin' Chili. Nice part about this recipe is that it makes a lot for me so I can get 3 meals or more out of it. I use ground turkey or...

rtutsky I agree. Listen, we all make mistakes even your father. I believe he feels as though walking away was right for him at the time buy now he sees that it's important enough in his life to get to know you. He knows he did wrong by you and now he is trying to make...

rtutsky I don't understand how someone can get over a broken relationship in 30 minutes. Must not have been much of a relationship to begin with. I was married for 22 years then my wife left. It's been 4 years now and I can't help still thinking about her.
