Basically I'm just comfortable with acrylics because it's what I know.
I tried Acrylics in the past, but they didn't work the way I wanted. Morgan Weistling made some works in Acrylics long ago, now he only works in Oils... I think you're going to have a good experience trying this medium. The guys I know who switched to oils, never switched back to the acrylics again .
