From what I've seen Acrylic art has more distinct lines due to the dry time difference. While oil takes longer to dry there is a tendency towards "washes" and less distinct blending. I've found that Acrylic often has more details. Personally I prefer Oils over Acrylic for historical reasons...many of the ancient artists worked in Oil and it's a fine medium today as it was thousands of years ago. I've painted several pieces in Oil and enjoy the way it works, I've yet to give acrylic a fair shake, but I truly enjoy many of the fantastical pieces being made today in acrylic. I'm very particular when it comes to watercolors, there's a fine line between a kindergarten piece and an expert piece. Though they are pleasing to look at. Maybe I'll find someone to go to the Minneapolis art fair with me this summer.
Peace, Have a Great Day
