I was a Artist long before CGI.

Oils cost a lot and there's lead in them ,there poison.
Oil colors are a bit on the dark dull side.
they stink and fuems make ya sick.
those that paints in oils looks down on those that paints with Acrylics,Watercolors.etc etc

Acrylics dry real fast .there not worth what a oil painting is in a gallery

Watercolors bleed to much for me.
there not worth what a Acrylics painting is in a gallery.

dout ya see many of these in a gallery.

Pastles just don't work for my style of art and they smear a lot.

color pencils

pencils

want in a gallery ?
you get 5% to 10% of sells
so if the gallery sells ya oil painting that cost you $500.00 to make
and the galery sells it for $1500.00.
you get $75.00 to $150.00 so you lost money.but ya get braging rights.

most real worled artist that paints with real world mediums can't paint a character worth a damn 
,that why ya see a lot of abstract.

I could go on & on but I stop cause I have nothing nice to say about real world mediums or gallerys.

Buy far the best thing that ever happened to Artist is CGI & the Web :)
