Hello, I am struggling with the drying of oil paints, specifically dark colours. Lets say I mix burnt umber and ultramarine blue to get a dark colour. This is applied to a section of the painting. Some parts of this will dry differently. Some parts look dry and others look shiny . I guess this is something to do with the oil pigment being absorbed. (?) This is very frustrating when I am building up detail and further colours on top as the shiny part looks different to the dry part. When the painting is complete I use a retouching varnish which sorts this problem out and makes the entire surface the same.Hope this will make sense to someone any advice would be appreciated! Please help. Thanks I didn't find the right solution from the Internet. References: www.artistsforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2106617Animated Explainer Videos
