Painting Over Dried Painting




Hey, what would you suggest for painting over a painting that has dried for 8 months to a year or more? I have some Old Holland retouch and can also make some "real copal" varnish with turps or spike. Is abrasion necessary and is there a widow of opportunity for painting over the retouch?

Oh, and there is no medium used in th existing paint layer, if that matters... Does it?

Many questions... Thanks for your time.

Peace,
