This morning I finished my copy of a William Wendt landscape and my first still life. The still life was finished. I just rubbed it out with a little refined linseed oil. Oil paintings can “sink” and look dried out, some areas more than others. Rubbing the painting with a few drops of linseed oil repairs the sunk areas. Months after a painting is finished it can be varnished.
