Absurd Drying Time

There's another show coming up that I want to enter this one in, but the work I had planned on it for today isn't possible. I used Indigo for the darker areas, and colorwise, it's working out very well. What's not working is the fact that it takes over a week to dry! The last time I painted it was the 22nd, and here it is the 31st! There are some places where I want to overpaint the indigo with a light blue, and it's just mixing and smearing around instead. Bah. Now I have to wait another few days, at least...
