The Importance of Drying Time by Zaneta Pernicova

The Importance of Drying Time by Zaneta Pernicova

Zaneta Pernicova emphasizes the importance of patience in oil painting, especially concerning drying times.

1. Fast vs. Slow Drying Oils: Some colors dry faster than others. Siennas and umbers dry quicker, while whites and blacks take longer.

2. Thin Layers Dry Faster: Thin applications may dry within a day, while thicker layers can take weeks.

3. Use Drying Mediums: Additives like Liquin can speed up drying time.

4. Avoid Touching the Surface: Allow paintings to dry undisturbed.

5. Žaneta's Tip: "Embrace the waiting time; it allows for reflection and growth."
