Testing For Oil Spill

I managed to find one recipe online but involved ingredients I were unsure would work. So I contacted Green Peace and they gave me a few recipes they use when protesting.

Different Mixtures to try:
- Readymix paint and oil
- Readymix Paint on its own
- Molasses - Green Peace Recipe 
-Oilpaint and Oil - Green Peace Recipe
-Readymix Paint and Oil Paint with oil

The ready mix paint and oil didn't mix well together so caused patchiness. This wouldn't create the drenched effect over the model I desired.

Ready mix paint on its own was good, however it did dry and wasn't as shiny as the first picture. Under the lights I feel this would dry up too fast so I would need to keep applying it to the model which would waste time.

Molasses was so thick! It was hard to blend out and wasn't the thin consistency of oil I was hoping for.

 This was oil paint and oil. This was closer to what I wanted but I didn't want the skin to show as much so thought about adding the ready mix paint underneath.

Perfect!!! mixture of ready mix paint with the oil paint and oil over the top. This create the dark effect I wanted of oil and the slippy shine I wanted that will be all over the models body.

I have now found a photographer thats work I think is amazing. He is a first year so has more times on his hands to be able to shoot my whole book. I sat down with him before hand went over my ideas and what I wanted to portray through the book.

I need to book a studio and shoot the oil slick look.
