This project will demonstrate step-by-step how to paint with oils on an acrylic background. I have tried many mediums and the one close to my heart is definitely oil. This project will provide you a chance to use different techniques from blending to strokes. Since oils are always very forgiving, it is easy to change anything you want, whether the oil is still wet or after it is dry. There will be lots of tips and references to be used so you can go back to any part of your painting effortlessly. Once finished, this lovely box can be a gift to a special someone or just a gift to yourself. So, let’s relax, paint and enjoy some chocolate along the way.
