I want to use drier to dry my oil painting. I just painted it, and I want to continue my work. So I decided to dry it by drier, BUT I don’t know if I need to dry it with the high heat or low?

You'll need to mix your paint to dry faster. Research the work of Albert Pinkham Ryder to find mixtures for fast drying paint. Other wise try this one: one part stand oil to one part paint thinner such as Gamblin makes. Mix this into your paint and it will generally be surface dry in 24 hours or faster depending on the pigment.
If you need something that dries faster then switch a water based paint.

During the summer you can leave a painting outdoors and it will dry a bit quicker. You may want to put your paintings in front of a fan or you could try the dryer you may like the effect.

Oil paintings don't dry, they BREATHE, rushing drying times will cause cracking later, but if you must, use a regular fan, no heat.

I don't think a hair dryer will work on an OIL painting.

if i were going to use the dryer, I'd use the low setting for sure.You might also try using a fan, in case the heat would do something to your painting

DO NOT DRY!
If you want your painting to dry you need to (in essence) slow bake it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oil paint OXIDIZES it does not dry so you should use a drying medium and not the hair dryer.
If you are in a Hurry you ned to change mediums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
