Can the varnish be applied 24 hours after the oiling out if you do it the way you describe? Or is it better to take one or two days of reserve? So the whole process takes 48 hours between start of oiling out and packing the painting? Did you ever try mixing the oiling out medium with Liquin and what are your experiences? My painting was done using Liquid. I am in a time rush at this moment myself so this is very useful information.
I use linseed oil because I am more likely to use that as a medium in the painting process. You can varnish with Gamvar as soon as the oiling out is dry. I do not use Linquin in my process so cannot comment but I do know artists who do and have used this medium to oil out their paintings. I do not know if they mixed it with any other medium though. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your answer. I have to ship my work in 6 days. In that cause would I still have time to do it with linseed oil or netter just ship without oiling out? I'm afraid with the linseed oil it couldn't be dry in time but also afraid to add liquin to that for the top layer... @@sarahhallidayart
@@GerdaVanDamme I use 1 part linseed oil and 1 part gamsol and put it under a radiator. If you use too much linseed oil in this consistency it won't be dry. It needs to be 1:1. I find this dries in a couple of days. Then I varnish with Gamvar which is dry in 24 hours. Do you have the opportunity to try this out first on a painting that is not time critical? If you have 6 days you have time to try it out first on a different painting perhaps?
Thanks. I used wax paper,instead of glacine.
