Oils paints can take a long time to dry enough not to smudge. Though a skin quickly forms on the surface, thick paint may still be soft beneath, even months later. Only time will ensure the paint dries right through to the canvas. If for children, I would consider using acrylic paint, which dries very quickly.

Regardless of the color, oil-based paints use solvent, normally mineral spirits, as a solvent Vs. water for water-based and oil-based paints dry harder than latex paints making them more scrubable.
