Acrylics were a game changer for me. I didn't have the patience for oil paint. They took forever to dry! But acrylics were a bit more like the childhood paint box. Generally opaque which allowed over painting and covering up. Could still be glazed like oils using medium and varnishes and quicker drying - which does mean you have to plan ahead and get your blends done while the paint is still workable. Can dry a bit too quickly when Plein Air - but there are now slow drying acrylics - which I am experimenting with.
