How to speed up an oil painting drying time
Fine Art Tip from Snezhana Tillender
Sometimes, I am impatient to continue my oil paintings, but paint is still wet. The best way to dry oil paints is to expose an artwork to direct sunshine for a few hours.
Sun won’t damage paint layers, but will help to speed up drying time. This is how Rubens did it. He mentioned that in his letter to his commissioner.
Never dry your painting in a dump dark place, because colors might become muddy and paint will dry more slowly.
