You are asking for quite a bit here. All i can suggest is doing what i did when i decided to learn to paint with oils and had the same questions myself. I started with library and bookstore books. Alot of it has to do with using the right brush, allowing for drying time, using a thinning medium like linseed oil, and alot of practice. My work can be checked out at hellosanantonio.com under artist name GUERRO1.How do i paint textures and fine details realsitically with oil paints?
Since my style is sort of impressionistic, I am not all that prone to detail. But if you paint thin an extender such as licensed oil and a good quality brush will help you.
In my case where I paint pretty thick with oils I use different type of brushes for certain textures. For example, I use a fan brush for grass. It allows to move the paint leaving an impression.
Hope that helps some.
