Oil Paints

  • Drying time: 1-3 weeks (slow = better blending)
  • Cleanup: Turpentine or mineral spirits
  • Best for: Realism, glazing, impasto

Acrylic Paints

  • Drying time: 10-30 min (fast = layering)
  • Cleanup: Water + soap
  • Best for: Mixed media, bold colors, beginners

Try both! Start with a small set of each.
