C, D, E

Oil paint dries very slowly, allowing artists far more time to manipulate the paint and revise their works. Colors can be laid down next to each other and blended softly and seamlessly. They can be painted wet-on-wet, with a new color painted into a color that is not yet dry. They can be scraped away partially or altogether for revisions or effects. Oil paint can be applied in a range of consistencies, from very thick to very thin.
