An in-depth look at how oil paint dries. In this video, I answer questions like: What actually happens to each oil molecule as it dries? Why is “Fat Over Lean” is so important? How do you prevent oil-soaked rags from spontaneously combusting and burning down your studio? How can you speed up or slow down the drying process without adding anything to the paint? There’s plenty of fun facts, visuals, and trivia sprinkled along the way to keep the learning light-hearted.

This video meant for oil painters who want to understand their medium at a deeper level. My goal is to make science understandable and usable for artists. I studied science in college, and have (self)-studied art after graduating. This video is my attempt to combine the two fields.

Note: this is the first video I've done in 4K. Is it worth it? Let me know in the comments.
