Hi Ken
re paints & so forth, I wont bog down with technical, eye glazing, drool inducing technical spec stuff.
How is your sculpting style?; you seem to work in quick bursts, close together, when you have finished with the other adult stuff in life you have to deal with....
Yes, oils take forever to dry, and may not suit your natural temperament. (Didnt suit mine as a teenager)As for other stuff, well, lets work it out as we go....
Me? I use acrylics, Vallejo brand. I do not get as much time on the bench as I wish, and it may be some time between stops at the bench; weeks, sometimes. So when I am at the bench, I don't want to do 8 minutes of paint, then wait for it to dry, particularly if I have a good solid 4 hours spare time.
Really like your sculpt "French le Poilu"
cheers
