The fact that you two went out and accomplished a creative feat is pretty awesome. I think they look great for a first attempt.
If you want to keep going and use acrylics you can purchase acrylic retarder so it won’t dry as fast.
Oil and acrylic are different. They do different things and one is in no way better than the other. Golden makes an open acrylic with a longer open time that I really enjoy working with, and there are many retarding mediums that you can mix into your paints. Keeping your palette wet is very important as well. When blending it works best to either use many layers of color or work in smaller more manageable areas.
The best thing you can do is experiment and find what products and techniques work best for you.
