Finally Finished My Artprize Project!

Any tricky tips on hastening the drying of oil paint?

Oil takes longer to dry in the cold.
In Florida we sometimes put them in our warm garages or keep them in the trunk of our car.
You can put them in a large well heated room with good air circulation ... that will help the surface layer to dry faster.
But remember, with oil it usually takes months before the painting is considered "dry."

I have them in my garage studio, but it has been very humid lately. I think I should bring them to my air conditioned frame shop! I have 2 weeks for drying time. Hopefully they'll be dry to the touch by then~
