There have been such fabulous painters before us who have left us great work to inspire us and to aspire to!Thank you @donnadavisart. I think we all have our own very personal methods, on the computer and on the canvas. You can always paint in oil over acrylic, since acrylic dries quickly and attains its eternal condition in a half hour or so. The contrary would not be possible. Once you have moved on to oil, you can't go back to acrylic because oil dries very slowly and the acrylic on top of the oil would crack as the oil dried. When I move to oils, I start doing veils of white and building up of form with white; otherwise the glazing would make everything too dark. After each glaze I scumble in whites. I use a medium and emulsion that I make myself; the recipes were done by my teacher. I haven't tried other methods because I feel at ease with my technique and it does what I want.
