If you’re an acrylic painter who’s been eyeing that buttery, luminous oil paint feel but you’re worried about the cost of switching over, I’ve got good news. You don’t have to choose. You can use your acrylics and your oils together, in the same painting.
In this one I’m covering everything that eases the fear of trying oils for the first time: the real health concerns (and how I manage them in a studio that doesn’t get much airflow), the best gloves I’ve found, which brushes you actually need to keep separate, and how I built my own palette for about $55 that will last forever. I’m also showing you my favorite money-saving trick: how to recycle your Gamsol instead of tossing it after every use.
