&lt;p&gt;There are too many variables to give you a clear answer. What kind of surface was the paint applied to? What kind of oil was the paint made with? What pigments are in the paint? How thick is the layer of paint? Did the manufacturer add anything to the paint to even out drying time between different paints? Did you add solvents or mediums to the paint? And so on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Drying time can vary from a few hours to two or more weeks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry about the delay. Oil paintings (dry or wet) left in the dark for long periods tend to turn yellow. That happened a couple of months ago to a panel I had primed with lead white but not yet painted on. I left it partially behind another panel, so that part of if was in shadow and part of it not. The part in shadow turned yellow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, exposure to light fixes the problem. I left the panel completely out in the light for a few weeks and the yellowing disappeared.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The lights don&#039;t have to be on all the time. Just a normal amount of room or sun light will prevent yellowing from happening.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi , I just have a question regarding the drying of oil paintings. I&#039;v seen a couple of articles saying dont dry your oil painting in the dark. This is a bit confusing to me. Does that mean always put your wet oil paintings in a room with light bulbs on?? As it is impossible to always have daylight when your painting is yet to dry. Please could you give me some clarification. I leave my oil painting in the conservatory at night and the windows are opened for ventilation and the lights are switched off when i go to bed, but In the daytime, there&#039;s enough light coming in.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi David      Passing by when i came across your blog . I was looking for ways to mix and  spray oil colors, i&lt;code&gt;ve spent over a grand on books these last few months and most give little or no info on oils for airbrushing out of 48 titles i&lt;/code&gt;ve bought i got my first book today that had 2 small paragraphs an this is the main advise ,(Oils need to be thinned signifcantly with REFINED ESSENCE OF TURPENTINE and a few drops of DRIER to speed up drying time. As you notice no mention of what type of dryer.But i&lt;code&gt;m learning to oil paint brush style also and a couple of books had some helpful hints in this area i havn&lt;/code&gt;t had a chance to try them yet as i&lt;code&gt;ve been in no hurry to dry this type of painting but i&lt;/code&gt;ll try sometime soon and let ya&lt;code&gt;ll know how they work. I couldn&lt;/code&gt;t help notice Mr. Louis R. Velasquez  coments he is quite right about using the correct linseed oil , since he didn&lt;code&gt;t wish to share his info unless you buy his book, well i would have been more inclined to buy his book had he shared that little tidbit which should be in any oil painting book but sadly isn&lt;/code&gt;t the case,so kudos to you sir for putting basic info at least i feel its basic info that should be in any decent oil painting book since you had enough forsight to enclude that info in your book you say i may have to get a copy to see if you have any other secrets.  Anyway i&lt;code&gt;ve gotten off track here there are many linseed oils most say to use refined linseed oil but that is wrong refined linseed oil slows drying.to speed up drying you should use DRYING LINSEED OIL for dark colors and DRYING POPPY OIL for pale colors .Winsor &amp; Newton makes these products .also it is noted by some that MANGANESE DRIERS work, hope this helps someone and i hope i haven&lt;/code&gt;t given away MR LOUIS R. VELASQUEZ s  (SECRET CORRECT LINSEED OIL) Secret away. Ah who am i kidding sites like this is for people helping people not to pry a lot of bucks out of there wallet or purse.I don&lt;code&gt;t know if this is what he&lt;/code&gt;s refering too are not ,but most likely it is.if your looking for a book it my be worth checking out. Hey DB go back to your oils you love,just use turpinoid instead of turpintine or they also make oderless thinners which do have a slight oder but not much plus it lasts forever i use a plastic coffie can with handle and when to much paint builds up on bottom after cleaning brushes &amp; paint knives i let it settle over night or day and pour into another coffie can with lid all the paint in bottom of 1st can makes a nice gray save and paint with or mix with for different shades and the 2nd can is just as clean as the day you put it in the 1st can. i don&lt;code&gt;t know if that helps when i first started with oil i used BOB ROSS products hes gone now but his paint line contuines he has liquid clear oil paint ,white and black  oil paint that will work with other oil paints comes in 8 fl oz size and larger that can be used to thin your paint works well or use the turpinoid or oderless thinner which is the same i do belive they just don&lt;/code&gt;t people to know there (secret) of course i could be wrong, but i don`t think so .i hope this helps some of your readers david and to the man who places himself in the likes of rembrandt and van eycks good luck with your book .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;d remove it from the radiator and let it dry at normal room temperature. But it will likely be OK.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;hello 
my child has a project which he painted in oil paint, I didnt realise how long it would take to dry, the last couple of days i&#039;ve left his model on the radiator/heater.  is this a bad idea, doesnt seem to be drying any quicker, am i effectivley &#039;melting&#039; the oil paint by doing this?
thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t know. I&#039;ve never done much impasto in oil, so I haven&#039;t experimented. I expect it would depend on exactly what the formulation of the glue was.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want really thick impasto without waiting a decade for the oil paint to dry, you might consider applying the first layer in acrylic. There are lots of additives for acrylic designed to make interesting impasto textures--if these are rough, they will improve the ability of oil paint to adhere. Once you have the right surface structure, go in on top with a thinner layer of oil paint.&lt;/p&gt;
