Drying Oils
Varnishes
Oil Paint
I would like to make some changes to an oil painting which I thought I had finished. It is touch dry. I used Old Holland oils with a small amount of linseed oil as a medium. Should I use retouch varnish on the area I wish to rework? I have been told that I can put a layer of linseed on as an alternative to retouch varnish.. Advice much needed thank you Fiona McClean

Hi Fiona, This is a very common question indeed....the notion of reworking and/or "sinking-in." Please refer to the section on this subject in our "Varnishes" document which can be found in the Resources section here and let us know if you have further questions: https://publish.artcons.udel.edu/mitra/Documents/MITRA_Varnishes.pdf
