Richard,
Thanks for the tips. I'd like to add another question regarding the technique you said "oil out". How do you exactly do that if you are using ala prima technique? Like this one painting that I attached above, I just painted this in one sitting maybe for about about 5 hours. I was impressed with my work then but got discouraged when the paint dried out. As you can see, the dark areas faded away though I used enough paint on it and the juciness was gone. How can I improve this painting?
And another thing, when you said "oil out", what kind of oil do you exactly mean that I should put on the surface of the canvas? Is it linseed oil because that is what I usually use? Or another kind of oil medium?
