Katie, beautiful!! Your paintings shine.
Do you prefer acrylic to oils? Do you find it difficult to paint with acrylics?

I love oils but prefer to use acrylics due to the fast drying and ease of use. Also a lot of my work has been big abstracts and so acrylics are the best for that.

Thanks, everyone I appreciate your comments.

No, but everything I post on this new site is new here and so you might see something that you have seen before.

I use Winsor & Newton Griffin alkyd paints whenever possible; they behave like traditional oils, but dry much faster. Have you tried them?

I have to avoid oils nowadays due to their pungent smell

Lovely!
I have an artist friend who uses alkyds as well and swears by them. I guess I should try them as acrylics dry too fast for me, and oils can be slow.

Katie, I really can't detect much of an odour at all from the Griffin range of alkyds, so perhaps you should buy one tube and try it.

Beautiful, Katie!

I must have missed this the first time around, so glad to find it now.

BTW, I tried Griffin Alykds a long time ago, and also the new water miscible oil paints and would be very interested in your evaluation of them, if you do give the alkyds a try. I will withold my opinion on them so as not to influence your approach.

Hello Hermes, glad to see you here.
If it is not too much trouble, I would like to know in what significant ways you found that one was better than the other.
Thanks
