If I want to save paint (usually I don't, for many reasons) I put it on glass in Tupperware underwater. No oxidation at all. I just remove the paint 1 hour before I start, pour off the water and any extra evaporates. I will mix the paint pile with a little of the oil binder that the manufacturer uses (i.e. Gamblin, refined linseed oil).
