Can I know how much time does it take for the oil colour to dry and what can be done to increase the speed?

The drying time can vary based on several factors. Firstly, it depends on the products you use (solvents dry faster than mediums or Liquin Fine Detail), but the color itself plays a role (white typically dries slower). Other factors, like the temperature of the room, can affect drying time. In short, you can speed up drying with different techniques, but the beauty of oil painting lies in its slow drying time. If you're short on time, consider wet-on-wet or alla prima oil painting techniques, or try faster-drying paints like acrylics. Hope this helps!
