Enjoy your vacation
If you have been painting with oils for quite some time the acrylics will take some getting used to as they dry out much quicker - often too quick in hot dry conditions. You can purchase an extender gel or liquid that will cause the acrylics to stay wet for a bit longer. This enables easier blending to take place. I often use a squeeze bottle with a very fine mist to spray the painting in the areas where I am working in - be careful not to spray on too much.
I painted for years with acrylics before I started with oils - the reason why I can now paint so fast in oils
Acrylics are great on vacation as one does not have to contend with oil paint that take so long to dry.
A Tip: Be careful not to let your brushes get dry - keep them always moist and clean them often - once the paint hardens on the bristles you have a major problem. Acrylics are also a bit hard on the brushes.
