sprincess218 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I bought a canvas and some oil paint a few months ago and finally decided to put them to use...I started the painting Sunday night (did the background) and now I'm eager to finish it but it's not dry...is that normal? *I don't know the least bit about painting!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMK ASAP I didn't realize that it took days for oil to dry...I touched it last night and it was almost there...I'm sure it's dry by now! Perhaps I'll post a picture of it when it's complete...*WARNING-it's my first painting and I'm not all that artistic (that's my brother's department) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgym Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I just spoke to my mom, and she said it takes about 3 days to dry, depending on how many layers you apply. Let's see it when it's done, sprincess:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
