OK, after being under the heater for a full day, the painting is dry 'to the touch'. I usually do my glazing with my painting lying flat. The reason for this is that I am relying on gravity to pull the pigments into the cracks and valleys of my brush strokes. This contributes to the grungy feel that I am after.
I have a few days to finish my last 3 paintings for the show, including this one. Sometimes i wish I painted in acrylics, as it dries instantly......nah, oils is still my favorite medium. It's funny when something was introduced to you at 18, it tends to stick with you. I was listening to Echo & the Bunnymen while I was doing this, by the way.
