Oil Paint and Varnish

While painting I decided to experiment as I was applying paint to canvas I  poured thinners and liquin(medium) onto paper, I pushed the fluid liquid around, it became quite muddy looking. Not the effect I wanted! 

The paper is firstly coated in linseed oil, the washes of colour applied with linseed oil applied again. This caused the paint to flow  together,the thin lines at the edge of the paper is where the turpentine almost washes away the oil paint, the paper  is stained with paint but the oil collects across the paper.
