Ah the dreaded shiny blues. Have you managed to matt it down any?.

 

[Anders Heintz]

Costas!

What is this that I am seeing!! Oils? Aaaaw Boy! Oh well, looking forward to see what it will look like once dried out!

Which Blue oil color is this? Prussian blue is notoriously glossy even after dry or with matt finish applied.

I am a recent convert to Winsor Blue or Inidgo.

I used 2 coats of artists acrylic matt varnish and the whole thing turned to matt, though oils leave a kind of slippery surface. Thats why i dont use em any more for overall painting!!! But it was interesting Experience

You should try it to put it in the oven for several hours.
the coulors then not so shiny.
And blood them out on a cloth. to lost the oil.

The maindraw back of using oil paint is: the oil dry in awfully slow rate. Although this can be solved by using light bulb "oven", it is quite impractical.
How can you solve this problem? Can you give me some advice?

You can take very thin layers of oilpaint as it is practical at acryl,
but dont forget put the paint on cloth or paper to get out the oil and

why not paint 5 or more figures so you can take time.
For me( I have no big output)it is good one stage, the next week the next stage.
When you want to hurry up, so take acryl.
