Hi Karen--
I joined the forum back in the summer of 2003 and was working in acrylics at that time. . . switched to oils after 6 months due to repeated suggestions here to try them. Gotta say I can't imagine going back to the acrylics! But would be happy to share some of the things I learned with the acrylics, if that'd be helpful at all. . . ?
Anyway, welcome! and good luck with the acrylics
