My tests so far have been really interesting, but it's also really far out of my expertise, which is transparent watercolor and more recently gouache. <br />How long do you let an underpainting dry before wetting it again? So far my drying times on my swatches have been very long, whether diluted with water to a milk consistency or straight from the tube. Two hours and four hours still showed some bleeding and very easy lifting, even if the paint was dry to the touch and turned completely matte. Google has not been helpful. What're your experiences with drying times on egg tempera?<br />(I'm using Selenier.)<br /><br />Thank you for your insight!
