Try acrylics, they are less expensive, different look, but nice to work with. Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't have all the fancy programs, but I am trying to teach myself Photoshop and I'm having way to much fun. I keep losing focus on what I should be doing!
i just bought a medium that extends the working time of acrylics. It works great. But your right, I still like oils for a lot of my work. And I hope I get my focus back soon or my business will go down the drain!
and oil paint is very expensive.
Sometimes loosing focus is the best thing for art sometimes...
