Oil Painting Tip Acrylic or Watercolor Underpainting Which is Best? Oil painting over an acrylic or watercolor underpainting is a technique you can use for Plein Air or studio painting. But which one is best for oil painting acrylic or watercolor? In this video, I discuss that question.
The idea of using acrylic paints to create the initial underpainting washes came up recently during one of our members' Online Workshops and Q&A sessions. Many professional artists will begin with an acrylic underpainting, let it dry and then use oil paint on top of the acrylics. Are there any downsides to that technique?

Most of my landscape painting is alla prima or wet on wet and created from plein air studies, imagination and digital reference photos.
