Ep. 55: Should I Switch to Oils? A Coaching Session w/ Emily Winslow

In Episode 55 of The Composed Artist, host and live wedding painter Stephanie Gaffney interviews fellow artist Emily Winslow on making the rewarding, yet daunting, switch from acrylics to oils for live wedding painting.

Emily, a watercolor and oil landscape artist, discusses how she left her career in tech to become a full-time artist. Emily also confesses her struggles with portraits in a high-pressure environment, while Stephanie – who made the switch after nine years – reveals the turning point that made her "break up" with acrylics for good.

In this candid coaching call of a podcast, you'll learn the practical steps to transition your live-painting process to oils, along with essential oil techniques, and a critical tip to avoid the common mistake of muddy colors when painting details (like greenery) on a wet layer.If you've been thinking about taking the jump from acrylics to oils, this episode will give you the confidence and courage to embrace the change and level up your art!
