Michele, I know you don't like Maroger, so try this, a tip from plein air painters: use an alkyd white. When mixed in with your oils it speeds up the drying time throughout the painting. I do this when I travel and don't know if I'll be able to get to an art store.

Is there a thread on the Forum about alkyds generally, by the way? I would love to hear about how they compare to traditional oils.
