Oil Painting vs Acrylic Painting
All the differences between oil painting and acrylic painting have to do with the qualities of oil paint and acrylic paint that are used to create these two types of paintings. If you are a budding artist, you are naturally fascinated by two of the most popular paints that are available for you to make绘画and these are oil paints and acrylic paints. There are many seasoned painters who advice younger generation to begin with acrylic paints and slowly graduate to oil paints, but do you know the differences between oil and acrylic paints first to make a clear choice between the two? It makes sense to know the features of both to decide on the type of paint for your painting that is suitable and makes it stand out from the rest.
What is Oil Painting?
油画是用油制造的画paint. No doubt oil paints are a beautiful medium to work with but they are toxic and a painter needs to work in an open environment to save himself from the hazardous fumes. To thin an oil paint, turpentine oil is mixed in the paint.
One thing that can be said about oil paintings is that they are durable. Paintings done in oil paints centuries ago look beautiful and mesmerizing even today though the colors fade somewhat. If you have look at an oil painting, you will see that oil paints look much more vibrant and deep than acrylic paints.
当涉及干燥过程的持续时间时,即使在几天或几周后,在油漆中进行的绘画也可能保持湿润。这一点是赞成油漆的一点,因为画家渴望在几个小时甚至几天内觉得自己的绘画方面的某些方面不像预期进行更改。这意味着即使您使用油漆,您也可以进行更改和颜色变化。但是,这也是一个劣势,因为一位画家完成了一幅画,他必须等待很长时间才能展示自己的作品。
Turpentine oil is required to clean up brushes as well as your hand when using oil paints as they are not very easily cleaned out.
What is Acrylic Painting?
Acrylic paintings are made usingacrylic paint. This acrylic paint is water based and is not that toxic when compared with oil paint. It can be easily thinned using water and is easy to work with in general, though paintings do not come out as natural as with oil paints. Great artists refuse to accept acrylic paints as legitimate painting medium. To be frank, oil paints get a painter prestige and respect much earlier than when he uses acrylic paints.
When it comes to the durability, we cannot say acrylic paintings lasts for centuries as they were introduced fairly recently as in 1950s. They are not as old as oil paints in any case.
Another major point of differentiation lies in the fact that acrylic paints being water based dry up quickly in hours if not minutes. These days, retarders for acrylic paints are available though they can delay setting of acrylic paints only by a few hours.
快速干燥的意思是,如果丙烯酸涂料仅用水清洁,则清洁刷子更容易。对于学生来说,丙烯酸涂料往往会更好,因为它们价格便宜,而且学生也可以通过添加水稀释它们来实现它们,从而获得较浅的阴影,而油漆不可能。

如果您慢慢工作时间,不要匆匆忙忙,那么油漆也许对您来说更好。但是,请尝试保持窗户的打开状态,以使自己免受油漆油漆中毒素的危害。如果您是初学者,而金钱对您来说意义重大,那么丙烯酸酯显然会更便宜。但是,油画卖得更多,从而抵消了其最初的更高成本。但是,您必须记住,如果您没有艺术才能,则使用的油漆无关紧要。
