Hi Jennifer, I find it makes sense to use earth colors for the underpainting as they are fast drying. Save the slow drying for the very topmost layer: ultramarine blue, cadmiums, ivory black are colors I have noticed dry extremely slowly. I mark my paint on the tube with oil content and speed of drying.
