It's not warm enough for oil paint to dry. It took my oil painting more than a week to dry and I think some are still in drying time. My room doesn't go above 18 degrees Celsius. Have you heard of water-soluble oil paint? I have a few paint tube of this type of oil paint with some traditional oil paint. This tutorial on oil paint is perfect. I'm going to do oil paint with a limited colour palette (the 6 primary colours). Note : I haven't used liquin in my paint for my first piece in oil paint.
1. How to clean mop brushes after every use? I have 2 of them. 2. Do acrilyc gesso helps in coating a really crappy quality canvas to paint with acrylics? 3. You said you use graphites to draw what is under the painting, do charcoals help? (Winsor & Newton) 4. "Do not sniff paint", don't tell me what to do! also painting doesn't smell, try the spirit of turpentine.
1. I only clean them at the end of the painting session (so once a day) by rinsing just the tips of the brush (that's the only part that should have paint) in OMS then drying on a paper towel as good as possible. That brush won't be ready to use again until totally dry which can take days, so always have lots ready to use. 2. Yep, the gesso makes a huge difference but it's also possible for the canvas to just be so bad that the gesso already on it starts to let go over time which there isn't anything you can do about. That's fairly uncommon though. Bad stretcher bars also will obviously still be bad. 3. I like graphite better than charcoal because the lines are thinner and don't smudge as much. 4. You will do what I tell you to do! :P

I’ve always loved the smell of linseed oil and turpentine.this is an interesting technique.
Linseed oil I like, turpentine I hate HATE though! I don't even use that stuff I hate the smell so much.
that looks wonderful! cute little robin (they have a lot of attitude for such small birds lol)
