Is there a big difference between oil and acrylic paint? Recently,

you can mute a color by mixing in a tiny amount of complimentary color to it. That's not an issue. Differences between oil and acrylics are numerous. Oil has waaay longer drying time, more luminosity (light can travel in an out the oil), oil blends easily and has that buttery quality that's so great to work with, but you have to have a more methodic way of working in order not to trip yourself later in the process (fat over lean).

Is there a fine art any finer than oil painting

Sell the acrylics on eBay, unless you're already attached to them. Oils can be dangerous if you have pets or small children around, but with organization and caution, you don't have to worry.

There are some people doing great things in acrylics. Many of the Impressionists might have preferred acrylics if they had been available, simply because you can work quickly in alla prima and get a lot of abstract ideas out. What would Manet and Monet have looked like then? Less depth and luminosity, almost like a shadowbox or a diorama. The time, planning and consideration which oils demand can be a real source of pleasure, as long as you know how to mix paint, layer and blend in opaques or transparents, and store wet canvases. Oils generally have more impact and sell for higher prices.

this if anything

why not both OP? i have adhd out the ass and need things to dry immediately, use acrylics, hairdryer, and then when it's all mapped out i go over with oil.

Do you know any good brands to look for when buying oil colors?

Lukas Artist Oils for their wax binding, and W&N for their line of transparent colours -- English art eschews opacity in all its forms.

Aside from that, Sennelier or M. Graham.

huge difference because acrylic paint dry very fast and oil paint very slow
also acrylic paint doesn't look as natural as oil paint so acrylic one is perfect for abstract expressionist art

I tried muting acrylics for years, before giving up. It's impossible to get oil effects in acrylics. It's too much work for too little gain. I've used acrylics for commercial work, where the client wants bright colors to pop, but for serious color work, I use oils.
