Yup - oils are great.
Except they stain my skin and fingernails!! I had to scrub my skin raw to get enough paint off for work, then paint my fingernails dark blue. It was the only colour I had that was strong enough to cover my multicoloured/stained fingernails.

It's actually a beach. It started out really bright and vibrant, but I spilt dark turps on it and it stained the colours - so I kept painting and it turned out really stormy instead. Really choppy surf, blue/black sky, grey-yellow sand. When the paint is dry I'll take a photo and post it.

Pity about that
but I suppose the presence of the stormyness could just be a product of spontaneity.
