Oil is a very forgiving medium. But it's one that takes a great deal of patience to work with. A detailed painting can take weeks to complete simply because oil takes 3-4 days to dry once applied to canvas. Anything that involves layers takes weeks to get through. But it always turns out spectacularly in the end!
