I think I'm going to do the painting with acrylic instead just because I wanna get it done ASAP and I need money for the thinner & such. Time = money... you know how it is. But you gave me a hell of a lot of useful information, and for that I greatly appreciative of your kindness. I'm still going to get to oil as soon as I can. Maybe I'll ask for some Linseed stuff for xmas.
Thanks again. rock\m/
