Tested out contrast paint for the first time a gloss varnish. I had zenithal prime (very little black mainly white and grey) and applied a couple of coats of gloss vanish.
I mixed a little bit of contrast medium into Black Templar.
The gloss varnish seems to make such a difference. No pooling on flat surfaces. When applying the paint you can see it react with the glossy surface and spread out towards the recesses.
Strongly recommend using a varnish before applying contrast.
I've tried to capture it on my phone. It looks better in person.
