Human: Is oil painting more difficult to learn vs water or acrylic?

Assistant: It’s a little trickier to apply oil paints evenly than watercolor or acrylic, because of the thicker consistency of oil.  On the other hand, if you are able to apply layers of paint thinly enough, you can achieve a very good effect using oil.  I’ve heard of some artists successfully painting with oil mixed with water, but in general it’s good to try and use oil in its pure form.
