For the first time I have tried "oiling out" and made a mess of the artwork. What I did not understand was the oiling medium should be wiped off after applying, whereas, I let it dry for a couple of months. In consequence, it has produced a varnish finish thickened in some areas and not a pleasant look. I used Stand oil and gum turps.
I was thinking to remove this varnish finish without ruining the underlying artwork I should use turps but I don't really know. Can anyone assist?
In appreciation thanks
