I'm doing a portrait in oil, cheap oil, and it's taking forever to dry, and I've really smeared it on thick too...what do you think? Years? I'm beginning to give up hope here.
Usually I don't paint in oil, and usually I don't do portaits either, but hey, innovation is the shit. And I'm really superinspired too, want to do more portraits in oil.
Does hot air help? Thinking a hairdryer, fan etc.
Next time I will buy better paint, but this is now and that's the paint, and somehow it must work out.

Hope you're all doing fantastic.
I'm in Chicago btw, been here since September, going home for Christmas, just in time for Al Qaida.

Love
Angelina
