Is there any problem with using oil paint on acrylic paint paper ? Also would my drawing make for a waste of paint

I have another question, what difference does it make how much linseed oil I use? As in drying time

For student work, not an issue. You might want to put a layer of gesso down, to get used to working with it. If you want these paintings to be around in 20 years, you then have a problem.

Judging by your drawing skills, yes. It's probably too advanced for you, and you'll just get frustrated and quit. Try something simple, like a still life, and learn something from it. Work on values, and lighting.
>what difference does it make how much linseed oil I use?
Linseed oil will directly effect the drying time - the more you use, the longer it will take.
Oil painting should be done "fat over lean", or, thin coats starting out, with "fatter" layers (more paint/oil), so the underlayers dry. If you want to cut drying time, use less oil, and use a medium like Liquin, which will cut the paint like oil, but will dry in half the time. Don't use Liquin for glazes, alone, add a few drops at a time to raw paint for mixing, and make a real glaze with turps, oil, and varnish, with a few drops of Liquin in it.
If you don't know what glazing is, don't worry about it, you're too new to painting to worry, it's an advanced technique. If you want to thin paint, use a couple drops or turps, or Liquin.

We'll see how advanced it really is. Will post painting results for this gem.

Fine, blow off honest advice. I won't bother responding anymore. i won't try to help anyone who refuses to listen. I have better things to do with my time.
