Stand oil
Michele,
I was watching a Daniel Greene video where he talked about his use of a "quick dry" palette and thought you might find this interesting. Besides using quick drying paints, he mixes his own medium of 1/3 Stand Oil and 2/3 Turp. He said that besides being a fast drying medium, it also adds a slight gloss, provides good blending ability with a bit of brush drag.
His painting usually is dry to the touch by the next day, at which time he puts on a layer of Retouch Varnish. (He cautions that the paint has to be dry otherwise there will be smears). Since that dries in a few minutes, he continues painting again. The retouch varnish is a sort of oiling out method, it not only revives the sunken in areas, but must add an extra coating between the new and old layer, thereby speeding up his painting ability.
I have not tried this method for myself and would recommend you test it out first.
