paint help plz

[smasher]

i have a set of oil paints they are acrylic and i was wondering if they would be eny good for painting on my skin and what would be the best consistency

hey smasher. well, which are they? if they are oil then they are not acrylic and vice versa. acrylic means water based and well oil is......oil based. I dont know if anyone is using oil paints. use the search. you'll find lots of help

I wouldn't use them if they're oil-based. Oil paints dry to a hard finish with no room for flexibility. They also tend to dry really, really slowly. If I've done my research right, I think the addition of the acrylic is to help it dry quicker. This is a confusing subject because people, and myself, generally associate "acrylic" with water-based latex paints. But if it is an oil/solvent based paint, I would NOT use it on a medium that flexes.

What kind of paints are they- Tamiya?
