Carol, I'm working on a painting right now where I'm using the oiling out technique (Michele Rushworth has gone on record here for using it). You rub a very thin film of linseed oil on your (dry) canvas and then blot it off with a paper towel; enough remains to give your paints some fluidity. I wanted to try this because I have big dark areas of the painting which I wanted to stay flat and ridge-free without texture. My paint usually dries by the next day, but I'm not using colors that dry slowly (such as the cads). So far I really like this technique.
