Landscape paintings in progress

Working in the studio on several paintings, all around 30×60 inches……The technique I am using makes the oil paint behave a little like watercolour and with the right mediums the colour retains it’s vibrancy……The main problem is drying time…..I now have to pick my way around half a dozen large oil paintings that have to lie flat until the paint is dry….. or at least dry enough to have the paintings vertical. And then on top of these will be consecutively placed glazes each needing drying time………It is exciting, slowly watching the paint move around….gently raising a corner to control the flow. It’s exciting waiting to proceed with the next glaze and always the paint does something different…..Not such a good image to go with the text..that’s deliberate though..as I don’t really want to give away everything about how I achieve this effect…….The one on the easel is waiting for me to do the same……..
