Oils dry at a glacial pace, giving you plenty of time for tweaking and blending. Acrylics, by comparison, dry in the time it takes you to sneeze. Oils require the use of turpentine, other solvents and extenders that release rather nasty fumes, so good ventilation is an absolute must. Acrylics score nearly zero as far as causing any trouble to your breathing or brain health.

Speed is quite helpful in acrylic painting, since they dry so much faster than do oils. Often, the quick-drying layers are stacked one upon the other, as opposed to pushing around a big thick mass that gives you plenty of time for blending.

The result. Oil paintings have a little more richness and lustre than do acrylics, but the difference is not night-and-day.

Acrylics are waterbased. You dilute them with water. Yet the glue in acrylic paint is like fluid plastic. When it's dry, it feels like plastic.

Oil paint is made of oil, it reacts to oxygen. It first gets a skin on the outside. It dries slower too.

PVA is Polyvinyl acetate based paint or primer that is elastic after drying. While acrylic paint is an acrylic polymer emulsion that has a hard non elastic surface when dry.
