I'm posting this, my first example since switching to to WMO since I switched to using Artisan paints exclusively. My question now is: How long do you think a 16" x 12" painting on hard board like this will take to dry so it can be handled for framing?
I know WMO has dried quicker than regular oils on the palette, so I assume there will be a shorter drying time for the finished work also. I generally add the WMO painting medium to slightly 'free up' the paints to act more like traditional oils and to help increase working time.
I will definitely say I am completely satisfied with WMO, now that I have worked through the different mediums that can be added and found those that make the paints behave exactly the way I want them to.
I've done a few paintings working up to this one, but I feel this is the first one that was done using the 'lessons' learned by the first few images - so was done quickly and without hesitation due to technical difficulties, Ala Prima in 5 hours, with a brief hour or so going over for the final details like flowers and touch up the next day. Paints, even those that had dried overnight, were easily worked over with new color the next day.
