I know how to oil paint, its a costly, time consuming pain in the rump and errors can take days to fix. So, I like Acrylic a lot better.
And it isn't SMELLY. x.x
Oil is horribly smelly... at least the stuff I used to have.
I'll keep than info in mind. I used to practice on the walmart canvases... but walmart doesn't SELL them here... Grrrrrble.
Walmart isn't as good as a friend here as in the states.. But i'll take your advice and use that arguement/price estimate to try to convince the husband. (Who is probably reading this annyway.)
