I've come at last to a point where my oilprints actually look like some... The receipe was simple : I just didn't use the right ink. I was using oil paint, but what is needed in this process really is lithographic ink which is much thicker than oil paint. In this case I've used 1 part oil paint with 5 parts lithographic ink.
One of the appeals of oil prints is that is allows for "artistic interpretation" of the image, which means that you can work with the image with a brush. I'm not at that point yet, and the image you see here is made using an ink roller, and dabbing the ink with an absorbing paper to clear the light areas and eliminate the lines associated with the roller...
