After some experimenting here I am finding my oiling out needs to be very minimal. I just did the one little face once and it was sufficient to make it glow properly. I have tried the stand oil mixture and some other things on edges of the painting, but the cold pressed linseed oil with a touch of damar gave me the texture I was after and dried satiny. I am finding that the Michael Harding paint, by itself ,dries with a bit of a shine, which I like.
