Three Glass Bottles

I just finished my first oil painting after using acrylics for almost two years. The two mediums can look similar on canvas, but the feel of the paints is very different. Oils seem more like soft butter versus the stiffer feel of quick-drying acrylics. I can’t think of a good analogy for acrylics. It’s just more difficult to push them around the canvas than it is with oils. There are probably tomes written on the pros and cons of each medium, so I won’t go into that discussion here. For now, I’m learning how to use oil paints. Here is my first work in oils: The Glass Bottles.
