Thank you Carl!

I think I will try the acrylic matte medium, makes sense to me. I wonder if the recommendation to use theirs is just marketing? Either way, it's not something I would do on purpose. Although, if I had a large solid color background to do I imagine this could save some money.

When I have done murals I have always used acrylics, but had a hard time with people (skin tones) - the quality was not as good. If I can use acrylics, but then just the people in the murals in oil...that may be useful. I use large canvas and staple them to the walls when done. I can roll them up with no damage to transport. So this brings me to another question, could I do the same with one that had oil as well? I'm thinking no, but someone else knows better I am sure.
