You can also try using a hair dryer on low heat to speed up the drying process.

Keep the painting in a warm room or place it in front of a fan to help circulate the air and speed up the drying time.

If you're in a hurry, try to use an accelerator product that is specifically designed to speed up the drying time of oil paintings.
