My senior high school art project was an oil painting of Tina Turner. It took the entire semester to dry.

I've touched oil paint once. I didn't know how long it took to dry. I have neither the patience or space for that

the easiest way to get a good oil painting it so put a piece of your mental stability into it while you work
