Got myself equipped with all the bits and pieces, modelling paste and oil paints - new to me, and had a go at this task.  Interesting for me who knows nothing at all about how things work to see the intensity of colour on some surfaces.  Thought the modelling paste was easiest to work on, and the tissue paper the least satisfying as too much liquid flattened the texture.  Enjoyed playing, now to have a go at copying a Master- a much more daunting task!!

    Very interesting to see how the different media have worked  on the different textures and also, as you say, the differences in colours. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for your comment Lucy, I tried to use the same or similar colours for comparison but only had an ultramarine in my starter oil set.

    Excellent reference here Adrienne -so much to choose from. I agree it is helpful to compare how different media behaves.

    Thanks, Alice, all new to me of course, gave me an excuse to buy some more stuff.  If will be good to keep for future reference.

    No can't decide, I like the intensity of the oil, gouache and acrylic, and also the delicate watercolour, the Neo colour pastel is more intense than the watercolour and shows more texture. As for the surface I think the Modelling paste is easier to paint on but I also like the tissue effect, the polymer filler was more absorbent and took away some of the tones and vibrancy.
