This is my very first attempt at oil painting. I have used acrylics in the past but are really different. I use water mixable oil paints. I wanted to practice before the new live lesson with oils starting tomorrow night March 15th (or I should say tonight)
Any suggestions from all the oil painters out there are welcome!!
How do you like the water mixable oils? Ive always stayed away from oils because of the clean up. Loved to hear what you think

I also stayed away from them for the same reason as well as the odors of the solvents. I have always painted with acrylics and decided to try these for that reason.
I have Neurological Lyme Disease so smells can really increase symptoms. I had no difficulty at all with these. The painting I did is still wet to the touch, so they stay wet for at least a few days, something that acrylics do not do.
From what I hear about oil paints, that they are buttery and thick, the ones I used are exactly that. I used Winsor-Newton water-mixable oils. I buy my supplies on Blick art material site. That is the best price I have found.
I plan to get use to using them as I liked them better than acrylics, even if they are different in so many ways, and I use Golden open acrylics. Besides that, they are less expensive than the acrylics I have been using. I would recommend trying them, clean-up is easy, the paint goes on smoothly and they mix well on the canvas, plus there are water-mixable mediums if you choose to use them.
They are also interchangeable with regular oils to a point, so they have their advantages. Picking up the primary colors brown, and white (blue and brown mix black) or a paynes gray and you have enough to try them out with.
There are at least 3 water- mixable oils live lessons, one is a sunset, one is of tomatoes, the other one is the one I did. It helped me to do these before trying to follow Ashley and Matt on the current live lesson. Also, the Oil Painting Master series in the courses.
I hope this helps. I am by no way an expert but do like to paint and enjoyed these.
