Fish painting causing me frustration!!!

The fish painting i started with splatters of ink and water, was going well. It needed something and i took advice to work on the background further but made the mistake of using oil paints. Now i can't turn back!! Not sure how to resolve this piece but i have started another painting (this time of a face) using the original techniques, and hope to learn from my mistakes :)

How it was:


After some oil paint.... (top right and bottom left)

After more oil paint... aghhhhh

Exhibition pieces full steam ahead

Progress of another fish fin painting

This is some stages of another marine painting. This time I started with water based inks, which has worked really well. The early stages were purely inks and acrylic, and later on I started glazing with oils. The ink still shows through the oils in parts which is cool.
