Technique with an order
With oil as a second layer, acrylic on canvas opens possibilities that neither paint has alone. Paintings of this mixture for 1,000 to 2,000 euro are for sale here, with clearly built areas and warm glazes.
The rule is acrylic first, oil after. The quick acrylic film forms a firm base that takes oil without cracking. Painters use this for forceful underpaintings with delicate oil layers above. The result looks deep in color yet clear.

Two surfaces, one look
Matte acrylic passages and glossy oil accents create an attractive play. It shows especially in side light. Choose the spot so you can see the picture from different angles, such as in a hallway.
Protection and description
Especially with combined techniques the description should say whether a varnish was applied. Ask also about the build-up of layers and the time since completion. That influences care and the point at which the picture may be varnished.
