Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!
This week, we wanted to explore a very important part of painting: drying time! Surprisingly, this can heavily impact on your final artwork. This simple part of painting is also a huge difference between acrylic and oil paints. Not only does one dry much faster than the other, but there is a TONAL DIFFERENCE between the dried paints too.
Tone can refer to the colour of your painting, or how dark or light the colour is. Tone can be made darker or lighter by adding white or black, or certain other colours. It's closely related to value.
When your paint is drying, it can actually become darker! In the case of acrylic paints, this is very obvious, and it is a big difference from oils. You need to know this will happen and compensate with your original acrylic paint mix.
Stephen talks a lot more about this in the video, and discusses what's happening and why! We hope you learn a lot and get that magical "Aha!" moment while watching.
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel,

great tip thanks!!!
Happy to help! 🙂
Very helpful, thank you
Most welcome, thank you for watching! 🙂
Use a water mist when using acrylics, and you’ll be fine. I painted with oils for 40 years, it’s fine but, the drying time is insanely slow! I’ve switched to acrylics, much better.
We love both, and have some students who flip-flop between them depending on what they feel like painting. It's great to have options 🙂
I use a gray disposable mixing pallet to mix my oil and acrylic paints on. Some on you tube told me the grey palette will show you the real or right colour of oil or acrylic paint. I don,t know if this is true.
A neutral grey without any any bias, in theory it can help yes. But this is difficult, and the aim isn't to make the colours work on a palette, it's to make them work on the canvas overall. The surrounding colours of your composition can change the tonal values perceived. If it works for you, go for it! It's just not as important as making the colours appear correct as you need them to be on the canvas.
I love to paint the nature , animal. and People and I use the acrylic color but it’s dry quickly
Shall I try oil to paint that ?
My English so bad i hope you understand me
Oil paints are very different. They will dry slowly. It may take 1 week, or more, to dry. I think you should try them!
