She had just begun experimenting with them, but found they were taking ages to dry enough to move on to the next stage of painting...
I am finding a similar problem with ordinary oils just now.
I underpaint using thin glazes of oil paint mixed with a drying medium which usually allows them to dry overnight... but its been taking three or four days to dry enough to continue painting.

Is it because of the very damp cold weather... particularly perhaps the fog and humidity in the atmosphere ? Is anyone else finding a similar problem ? What can we do ?
