Do I paint with acrylics same way I paint with oils?

For the most part, yes. Acrylics dry fast, in a matter of minutes. Oils can take days or weeks. There are no odors with acrylics, but oils can give off fumes depending on what you are using. Most of the techniques are similar as long as you know how to keep acrylics from drying out before you are ready. I will cover this in detail later.
