I spent this week working with thick impasto oils. The experience was very different from working with acrylics. Instead of racing to keep the paint wet and workable, I had to luxury of loading the paint onto the canvas and working it for as long as I wanted. I could walk away and take a break during the day without concerns of the paint drying on the palette or the canvas. I could scrape off any places on the canvas that I thought needed reworking. A nice experience.
The wait time for the paintings to dry was not excessive. I used an alkyd gel mixed with the paint to speed up the drying process. It took about a week for the new oil paintings to be touch dry.
Here are two of my new paintings for you to enjoy.
