Welcome Terri!
I paint in acrylic, but only for landscapes or more graphic work. The few times I have tried it for figurative or portraits I just could not get it to blend well enough before it dried - this didn't work well for the skin especially. Plus it just has a different look to it for me. I enjoy switching back and forth between oils, acrylics and liquid (ink-type) acrylics on paper.
Good luck!
