This lesson is perfect for beginner-intermediate artists. Here are the key differences between oils and acrylics: 1. Drying Times. Acrylics dry fast while oils dry slowly. Additives can be used for both to speed or slow drying times. They are called fast drying medium or slow drying medium. 2. Texture. Regular acrylics don't create as much texture while oils are made for texture. Additives can be added to both to create more texture or to smooth the paint. To thicken acrylics I get heavy body paints and you can also get a variety of texture mediums (like sand) to add to your paints. To thin paint with acrylics you can get flow medium, pouring medium or just use water. 3. Solvent. Acrylics use water as the solvent, which thin paint and wash brushes. Oils use turpentine or mineral spirits to thin paint and wash brushes. There are water mixable oil paint that I prefer to use so I'm not exposed to those chemicals. You can read more about that in this blog post. 4. Varnish -Acrylics require no varnish as they are plastic and self-sealing. However, you can still use one to add more gloss or a matte look to your painting. Oils require varnishing to protect the painting. Make sure to select a non-yellowing archival quality varnish and to take note of the different types like gloss or matte and decide which you prefer. 5. Brushes. Both use long handles and can be natural hair or synthetic. For both it can be beneficial to have a soft brush or stiff depending on your preferences. Oils can be left on the brush for longer times. You need to clean your brush with a special soap and condition your brush. For acrylics, brushes must be cleaned as soon as you are not working with it or it dries, ruining your brush. You don't need anything special to wash your brush, just water. 6. Palettes. Oil Paints- For oils, a sealed wood palette is often used. You can use a cookie sheet with parchment paper on it. I like doing this because I can roll up my parchment paper with paint on it and stick it in the freezer to keep your oils from drying and to clean just discard the parchment paper. Acrylic Paints - I prefer to use a plastic palette because the paint when dry just peels off. It is nice to have a palette that will also keep your paints from drying. I use the Sta Wet palette and it will keep my paints good for weeks with the lid on. 7. Surface. Acrylics and oils do better on a primed surface. On natural surfaces such as wood, rock, and metal the acrylics do better. Oil paint seeps into natural surfaces separating the oil from the pigment leading to cracking and peeling of the paint. If you're wondering what paint to use acrylics or oils I hope this helps you make the choice that will be right for you. If you have any questions just leave a comment. Learn more!
