I want to do a painting of a women surrounded with oil ( don't ask). I would be using oil paints, I was just wondering how I could make the oil around the girl look like real oil? Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

I just discovered this awesome medium. I look on  line and people are making beautiful stuff with it. When ever I try it the colors just bleed together and make some crazy gray color. I tried it again and it didn't come out all shinny. Is there a trick to using this stuff, for I would love to make some of the art work I see on line.

I am a new artist and this is my first piece.

Feedback is welcomed.
