The Slow Drying Feature: The Secret of Oil Painting Layering

The slow drying speed of oil paint is the biggest feature that distinguishes it from other painting pigments, and also the core advantage of its rich layering. Artists do not need to rush to complete the creation, but can repeatedly overlay, modify and blend colors on the canvas. Each layer of paint can fully blend with the previous layer, producing natural gradient, shadow and three-dimensional effects. This unique creation characteristic makes oil paintings have richer picture levels and more delicate visual expression.
