Blog entry 73:
As aforementioned in earlier blog entries, a prominent problem for me this semester when dealing with and learining about paint, has been drying time and wet oil paints. When coming across this problem, I found that that using specialist mediums mixed with specfic paints affected the speeding up or slowing down drying time. Althoug I found the mediums helpful for work not yet started, the work I had already painted in oil will remain wet until the natural going off process of the oil has taken place which can take years: years which I do not have to hand in my work.
I have had to work to find ways around presenting my wet oil paints without ruining them or other pieces of work through smudging.
Oil Painting I:
The first oil painting I did is the thickest paint, and thus the painting drying the slowest, to present the work without smudging it I have fastened it with stick tags into a deep portfolio box (as shown above).
Oil Painting samples II:
The two sample oil paintings I did on small canvas, have dried to a point, but to ensure that they do not smudge I have presented them in a clear plastic folder.
Oil paintings III and IV have dried mocu more and I have not needed to take precautions to ensure they do not smudge.
