How many paintings at a time?




I'm just starting out learning to paint portraits in oil, which I hope to earn money from someday when I feel I'm good enough. Can I get an idea from the professionals as to how many paintings you work on at a time? I'm going to try and learn to paint in layers (underpainting and glazing), and I realize this takes time to dry before starting the next layer. How long do you allow for the painting to dry before starting on the next layer? I live in Iowa where it can get pretty humid, so it probably takes longer than more arid places. I have one more question- about how long does it take you on average to finish a painting? Thanks for any replies!

Susan
