Hi Terri and welcome to the forum, it's a wonderful learning tool. I also began painting in acrylics, and have very recently switched over to oils. I found acrylics to be limiting in that it was much harder to blend than oils because of the fast drying time, and it was difficult to compensate for the fact that acrylics can dry a couple shades darker. I have only done a couple paintings in oil, but I love blending wet-in-wet, it's soo much easier and faster. When I first signed on to the forum I was also very aware of how few acrylic portrait artists there were, now I'm beginning to see why!
