Scientific Analysis
hi. I have been working on an oil painting commission. I set it aside to let the top layer dry a bit before continuing on to the final details. When I came back to it, there were these sticky droplet looking things all over it. I cannot figure out what they are or where they came from. I'll include photos, but I couldn't get very good ones. At first I thought it was possibly the canvas panel I bought, but there is some on the easel behind it. I did have a fly in the studio. Perhaps it landed on the panel and walked around leaving something sticky. Without knowing what the substance is, I'm unsure of what to do to proceed. Is it safe to paint over? Should I use gamsol or some other substance to remove it? Should I worry about chemical interactions since I am unsure what it is? I am nearly done, so starting over isn't an appealing option.
