The transition from oil paint back to acrylic is comparable to if the whole of humanity suddenly deciding agriculture isn't so great after all, and reverting back to nomadic tribalism, abandoning any permanent settlement. That is to say, not advisable. I don't know why I chose to use acrylic for this. I suppose, from a while of using oil paints, I had expected paint to be user-friendly, and to be patient, and to be cooperative. I had forgotten acrylic is not like this. Painting with acrylic is like microwaving a frozen burrito; when it comes out, the two ends of the burrito are at least several thousand degrees, and the middle is warm. By the time the ends cool enough to eat, though, the middle is at most several thousand degrees below zero. When I paint a layer of acrylic intending to paint another one on top of it, the layer below has dried before I get a chance to paint over it, making blending colors difficult. You may have noticed that these cats look a little off. It's like I have reached the uncanny valley of cats. I think this is because cats tend to have fur, while it looks like the cats have fur-colored skin. Frankly, the carpet has more fur than these cats. In conclusion, don't let your cats sword fight because they will cut all of their hair off and leave even more hair than usual on every surface in the house. |
