What are your techniques for painting clouds in acrylic or oil?

With oils, I put the cover on a flat surface and spread widely on the turpentine, as you would a watercolor, then I wash in the clouds and let them train themselves. Then I look over and see what is best in cloud forms that are most pleasing to me and go to their subject, stressing that claims. Of course it is the very first objects Personally, I place in a landscape so I have lots of leeway everything up anyway I see fit. With acrylics I use the same method as the colors of the water … just wash it and watch what happens. Do not try work on your table too early, however, expect that the work to dry first or you may end up with mud. I work on three of the four paintings at a time, so I do not mind waiting so much. I always something I can turn to keep me busy and then so fly and before I know it's dry and ready for me to return again.

How can i make my oil painting dry faster?

Im working on something, and its due on Monday. I will be painting it again tommorrow- Thursday. So it will have about 3-4 days to dry, but oil paint usually need longer. I don’t think i can mix liquin into the paint because i already painted most of it. So is there any way to speed it up? Shoul i dry it with a dryer. Should it be in cold places or warmer places? Could i bake it or put it in the fridge? o_o Any good suggestions will help :]

Oil paints straight from the tube should be dry to the touch in a week, depending on ambient temperature and humidity, and on the color used. An alkyd medium will speed drying, but alkyds also yellow, so don’t use too much. Don’t bake your painting, don’t hairdyer it and don’t put your painting in cold places. Cold retards the drying process. Put your canvas in a dry warm room. But from what you say your picture is due in 3 – 4 days. This should be enough time for the painting to be tacky or even dry to the touch. Don’t use re-touch varnish if your painting is still wet. Using too much of Spray Re-touch varnish can cause the pigments of your painting to run. DO NOT use brush on re-touch varnish if your painting is wet or tacky. Brushing on the varnish will destroy your painting as it will smear the pigment on your canvas! I should know, I did this and learned the hard way.
