I am curious in exploring new paintin techniques to bring a cleaner and effectively a more realistic look to my artwork.
I am an abstract/surreal painter/artist. I do alot of cubist/surreal artworks and I want to push my talents and ideas as far and widespread as I can. In order to do this I need to master/learn painting techniques tho.
I have some questions/comments about painting wet over dry oil paint. I usually only use oil paint when I paint .But after a few days I have noticed that oil paint dries or at least semi dries. and painting over it becomes harder to do because sometimes even f its only a couple days after the paint was dry and only semi-dry painting over it produces a sorta chalky dry looking over-layer once dry.
This is a handicap because it puts me in a position where I try and get all hues and details in while that specific area is still wet.
Any tips on why his is and how to work around it or any way to paint wet over dry or semi dry to produce a still good looking piece?
I mean I guess ive neve really painted in a traditional fashion, I tend to try and work on wet only.

I have been studying Salvador Dali alot lately and trying to figure out how he painted and how he applied paint to canvas.
Also, I have a bottle of "Liquin fine detail" What is this stuff best for?
Generally. What are some ways that I can improve painting realistically that would help my surrealist paintings ? I am tlkin purely how I go about applying the paint onto the canvas.
and as far as paining wet oil over dry/semi-dry oil paint what are some tips/ways to go about that and why does the paint over-layer sometimes turn out bad?
All tips are very appreciated.
