I had purchased oil paints a few months ago with the intention of experimenting with them and taking a break from acrylics. I hadn't used oils for about ten years and back then I was using turpentine and linseed oil as blending mediums. I find that oils are easier to work with when I compare the process to working with acrylic paints. The blending process alone is miraculous. I like the richness and the consistency of oils. It's like my mind just remembered what to do. I should also add that I find the smell of oil paint amazing. I think that I may stick with them for now, since the experience was so enjoyable and less frustrating for me.
