I found that placing them on a radiator after painting helps a lot.For my horses, I used to follow Gilder's painting regime religiously. So a decent and bright undercoat, usually deep yellow or a deep orange. When bone dry, slap on the burnt umber and then wipe off with a very soft cloth. Babys blankets worked the best for me.A little practice used to produce some lovely effects.

I llike the oil applied to horses, have oil paint and yet have never tried it, probably because I am too impatient for things to dry.
