Hi Friends!

In this video I go over some of the reasons why you might need to oil out your painting. Sometimes you may have some dead spots or areas that have been sunken in. Oiling out your painting helps to even out that finish so that your varnish goes on with a nice even finish.
Another reason you might need to oil out your painting is if you are planing to add additional layers of paint to an already dried painting. Adding additional oil can give the new paint something to adhere.
My first coat was refined linseed oil and it took a bit longer to set up than I anticipated. My second coat was liquin. I applied both layers with a paper towel over a clean surface.
I hope that you enjoyed this video and that you share it with someone who you think could benefit from this lesson.

The painting that I oiled out was originally done here:

part 2 is here:

See you next time!
