I could paint in oils but the smell would kill me and the dry time is too long for someone impatient as myself.
I don't know if you heard about them, but there are water-mixable oil colours on the market now, without the solvent that gave me a headache. I can paint with them in my living room now instead of outdoors, and the paints dries much faster than the original version of oil colour, but still looks like oil colour and not like acrylics at all.
