Good thing you've wanted to paint as a therapeutic way to vent your discomforts is right
(You were very beautiful) By allowing the art to take all the load of good or bad energy in this creation of the soul, I recommend the oil since you mentioned it. In my case I use it to create effects of relief and realism in the pieces that I worked with, and after I worked with acrylic paint I do not see them in the same way they seem flat to me even though they are still beautiful. The oil will allow you to give a touch of realism and draw attention wherever you place it. Regards!!!

Ah, thanks a lot!
Yes!!! I absolutely agree! I love to play with texture, and I need a material that easily builds and shapes. So oil it will be.
I think that the look of acrylics has something to do that it is polymers. It looks plastic, because it is plastic. The human skin is a bit oily, so I think oil is best for realistic portraits.
I am pulled towards the idea of taking up painting with oil since I've been working with oil pastels. But now I'm like really, really convinced. Thanks for doing that! I love helpful comments like this!
I just have to create a supply list to not get lost in the art shop. :)
Good luck with what you do!
