Lol I agree no patience for oils. I also use liquitex acrylics. I but already primed canvas just because it won't absorb the water from the paints. Then I choose a base color and before it dries completely I start aggressively painting with my chosen colors. I believe in my profile pictures I have most of my recent paintings.

Every few yrs I try oils again. I was into oil pastels for a bit but only on Bristol board. I dream of painting one of those extremely large canvas'. But they are too expensive and as much as I would love to make a living off my paintings I don't really want to part with them. They are all spontaneous in the nomen paintings that I will never be able to replicate.
Thanks for this!
