A Young Lady

[Henry Wienhold]

Thank you Chris, the big difference between oil and acrylic is drying time, acrylic is less forgiving, but acrylic paint has such vibrant color, its a dissapointment that it's so difficult to blend when painting a portrait. The acrylic portrait that I placed here in the recent past was my attempt to find a way to blend the edges and make soft transitions, so I used a stippling technique.

I prefer oils, when I work on a acrylic painting whether it be a portrait, or a landscape I find myself missing that familiar oil paint aroma, which I have grown so accustomed to over the years.
