I prefer working in oils because my mixture will stay wet for the class. Acrylic will dry quickly so you will need to keep them wet with water or a retarder. Also you will not need the brush cleaner as you will use water instead. Bring reference materials to work from. Can be photos, magazines, art that inspires you, drawings,  etc… Can be digital. Tablet or phone. Link to Grid app I use .https://apps.apple.com/us/app/art-tools/id407578464
