Happy New Year to everyone!!!!
I am a great fan and supporter of oil paints and to date have only used these for all my figure painting. However as of late (due to limited free time and faster drying times) I have started experimenting with acrylics (Vallejo) and feel that I am sort getting the hang of things. For certain, you can achieve certain things with acrylics (i.e. flat tones) which you may not be able to with oils and of course visa versa.
My one big problem is face painting . I have used Lifecolor's acrylic set but I consider the colors/shades limited. Please let me state at this point, in the most explicit terms, that this is a personal opinion and may be due to the limits of my abilities / inexperience and I mean no offense to Lifecolor.
I have just purchased the 10 color set of Vallejo and in the meantime I would be extremely grateful for any feedback in relation to paint mixes / shading / highlights or any online tutorials.
Many thanks in advance
