So I just finished a still life in oil paints and I'm very happy with the results. The problem is that this is my first time using oil paints, and I didn't do much research beforehand. I just jumped right in, and painted an already prepared canvas with oil paints (winton brand) straight from the tube. I didn't mix the paints with anything. I did a lot of layering of colors (i.e. a dark layer for shadows, and then layering lighter colors on top). So my first question is, how long will it take to dry so that I can at least transport the painting from one place to another (on a plane- I'm thinking I'll have to carry it on). Second question is, will there be problems with my painting since I failed to mix it with turpentine or whatever people commonly use? Thanks so much!
