Oil Glaze

So I glazed a painting with linseed oil not too long ago and I thought I would take some pictures and share the experience with you. This was my first time putting oil
over a painting. I've used oil in my paintings before but never have I just spread it on top of one. I learned this technique in a oil painting class that I recently took.

It worked wonderfully. It gave the spotty matte finish of my painting an even gloss and more depth. I think the reason why my painting was very glossy in spots and matte most everywhere else was a little bit because of the paints themselves and mainly because of using Turpenoid thinned paint in some areas and just paint or paint thinned with oil in others.

 The only downside to this is that it takes a really long time to dry. It just now entered a 'not wet' phase and it is very sticky. I'm impatiently waiting for it to dry because I need to take pictures of it for a contest.

If anyone has had experiences with this that they would like to or wouldn't mind sharing please put them in the comments.
