Ok, I have to ask. What is the key to keeping the oil "circles" from merging into larger circles until just 1 big circle? I always have to shoot very fast after stirring in the oil.

You probably need more soap in the water.

Well, the soap is the key. Without it, as you have learned, the oil bubbles quickly merge into one another. I have found out that if I get the right soap/water mixture, the oil bubbles stay static for a long time. But getting 'that' right mixture is the difficult part, IMO.
Good luck.

Noah, I'm just curious: how did you achieve the 2 different looks in this shot? Is it a composite? I'm asking because the black outlines are usually done in a different way than the soft bubbles. The pink halo around the black outlines cluster is also unusual. Care to share the secret? Thanks.

Don't remember what kind I used but it was high viscosity. I have a variety of oils for painting and some are really thick.
