Cannot understand why there are no earlier comments, as this aspect of beginning factors of composition, values, edges, and two step approach, was all very well explained, and seemingly basics that beginners tend to trip over. I found it very helpful. Thank you.
Yes an acrylics layer can be an easier way to get the painting started. I actually have a course on this called From Acrylics to Oil Painting in 5 Easy Steps.
I try to work wet over wet ideally. Momentum is important to me and I can lose that easily. But if the paint surface is too oily and hard to work you may need to let it rest two days. Get back in before the painting dries completely.
I like this painting with the simple big shapes.
Thank you!

I am wondering how long you let the beginning painting dry before proceeding?
I just found your channel. Thank you for this great explanation. Can this first blocking in stage be done in acrylics and then completed in oils?

how long does it take to dry before you go in thicker.

How do you put colours on top without making them muddy?
One stroke with lots of paint. Then wipe the brush clean before the next stroke.
