What a nice picture to copy. Try changing it up a little to make it a little more original. I am sure that this is possible. Copying can be overcome after a whlile, but more emphasis should be placed on originality as one gains more knowledge. You may even have a better technique than the original artist.





I would use whatever I was the most familiar with for sure. Every artist has a favorite media with which they paint. Whatever you are the best at is what I would do with this picture. It is good to experiment with new medias sometimes and a good artist is a versatile artist.





My personal choice on this painting would be acrylics, but that is just me. It would be a good opportunity to learn acrylics for sure. Colors can be blended, but much can be learned here.Should i use acrylic or oil paint for this painting? [pic included] thank you in advance :)?
I think you should use an oil paint, as that is the type of paint most early painters used on the earliest versions of the nativity. Why not research what 15th, 16th, 17th century painters used? I think it was usually ';Oil on wood'; from what I remember of old art history classes. One thing's for sure; they didn't have access to acrylics. Here's a link to a photo of a night nativity scene - it was done with oil.

If you are going to copy this particular piece I would use acrylics ,because they are more brilliant then are oils. And the picture you are showing is brilliant also because it is stained glass and keeps it's brilliance. So your best bet is to use acrylic paints.
Use whichever you are more comfortable with... OR, use whichever you want to become more comfortable with. Both types have their pros and cons.
