I notice a number of your works use water soluble oils and acrylic and wondered about your application technique. I combine the two mediums in paintings myself, usually the oil over the dried acrylic, although I have read you can mix them wet in wet. I did the latter in a life painting session by accident as when I finished the underpainting in acrylic I had a glob of white acrylic on my palette I forgot  to remove and completed the painting mixing it into the  w/s oils.

I my self use Water Soluble oils and Acrylics mixed because of the easy clean up and the fumes ,

I've stopped mixing them together because I had a bad reaction once, but vet much enjoy starting in washes of acrylic and then building textures with washes and then thicker water soluble oils. I don't seem to like the chemicals of traditional, I love the ease of water vs turp, just feels healthier to use. Holbein aqua duo is the only w/s oil I'd actually mix directly with acrylics, but as much as I love that paint, it's way too expensive for me.
