Evidently they have them down to a science now though so much so that many hardcore turps and oil painters have switched over. Thanks for the compliments, your stuff rocks too! :) Wendy: Thanks for the advice, I never thought twice about it but have done research on it now. Looks like you can indeed use oils over acrylics if they are thin (mine are since it is on wood panel). I am still unsure about the sealing part, but will call my local art store and ask them to be sure. Really appreciate the heads up on all that I would have been devastated if a "Da Vinci distaster" happened.:wink: On a side note, I have been wondering what kind of paint you have been using on your downfall hula girls for the fine details? I mean what kind of paint can be painted over glazed ceramics and not peel off??? I gotta know, it's been driving me crazy trying to figure it out. I can't say it enough by the way, those downfall girls are just incredible.:) LLT: Thanks so much, truly high praise coming from someone so talented. Although I feel like a piker after seeing how fast you can knock out such great stuff. :wink:
