Oil Painting
Anyone have some tips to dry an oil painting?
I love painting in oils and I have AP studio art in my school. In about a week, school starts and I need to bring all 10 new pieces in. I need it to be dry though so It can travel. Anyone have any suggestions tips (besides don't paint in oil, use acrylic) ?
Hi,
In about a week will be difficult, unless you work on several at the same time. Probably completing some of them alla prima (the first ones since alla prima usually takes much longer to dry than working in thin layers).
You can add an alkyd medium such as Liquin to accelerate the drying process; even so it may take about 3 days to dry - you can wait 1 or 2 days between layers - and you or someone else would have to take them personaly because sending them in conditions by carrier would become quite expensive.
Have you thought about your themes ?
Maybe some simple still lifes. Use a single light source to give you a dramatic lighting i.e. a good difference between light and dark. This will make your life easier in terms of finding the values.
Good luck.
