Oil-based paint - dry to the touch in 6–8 hours and ready to recoat in 24 hours. Latex paint - dry to the touch in about 1 hour, and you can safely recoat in 4 hours.

Artist ( fresher) , i can draw anything

These become touch dry on the canvas in 18 to 24 hours. However, remember that the thickness of the paint and the temperature of the room you are working in will also affect the drying times of your work. Tip: Try to avoid the temptation to varnish your work as soon as you have finished.
