The 6 months dry time sounds like the time to wait until you place a final varnish on. The time between layers of paint is much less. I very seldom glaze. I place opaque (or semi-opaque) on layer over layer-lean to fat.

There are numerous ways to slow or speed up your colors drying times. I think there are whole threads devoted to this subject deeply.
