Art Professors Discuss: Oil vs. Acrylic Painting for Beginners

RISD Adjunct Professor Clara Lieu and Art Prof Teaching Artist Alex Rowe discuss all of the differences between oil and acrylic paint in great depth, as well as their similarities.
It's essential for any artist who paints to know what the technical differences are between oil and acrylic paint. The dry time varies tremendously, the solvents and mediums are completely different, oil painting has safety hazards to be aware of, while acrylic painting does not have any.
