One HUGE Difference: Oil Paint & Acrylic Paint Comparison

Knowing this one difference between oil paints and acrylics will make a HUGE difference to how you paint! It's not just about drying times, but how they look at the end! Stephen talks you through it... ➤ LAST WEEK: One tip to draw ANYTHING:    • Want To Draw Better? How To Draw ANYTHING ...   Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel! This week, we wanted to explore a very important part of painting: drying time! Surprisingly, this can heavily impact on your final artwork. This simple part of painting is also a huge difference between acrylic and oil paints. Not only does one dry much faster than the other, but there is a TONAL DIFFERENCE between the dried paints too. Tone can refer to the colour of your painting, or how dark or light the colour is. Tone can be made darker or lighter by adding white or black, or certain other colours. It's closely related to value. When your paint is drying, it can actually become darker! In the case of acrylic paints, this is very obvious, and it is a big difference from oils. You need to know this will happen and compensate with your original acrylic paint mix. Stephen talks a lot more about this in the video, and discusses what's happening and why! We hope you learn a lot and get that magical "Aha!" moment while watching.
