Today is oiling out day. This procedure is done to dry paintings to even out the absorbency of the varnish. After oiling out, I can continue painting or wait a minimum of 3 days and varnish.
How to Oil Out
- Apply a liberal coating of 1:1 Galkyd Painting Medium and GamsolOdorless Mineral Spirits to a dry painting. This can be applied to the entire painting or just to the area that needs to be enlivened.
- Allow the medium to be absorbed into the painting for approximately two minutes.
- Wipe off the excess painting medium with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Continue painting. - Information from Gamblin.
