Yes that's the method I was talking about mate I didn't know what to call it but it's the way I've been shown\ said:Thanks for your kind comments Alan.
Not sure what you mean by "oil paste method".
But here is how I did it.
The horse was base coated with a yellowish brown in acrylics.
Over this I put a thin layer of burnt umber oil.this was then wiped off until some of the base coat shows through on the highlights
I then used yellow ochre oil and wiped tiny amounts all over the highlights and blended this with a soft brush.
I then went back and put a bit more shade in with burnt umber with a minute touch of black.
Hope this helps.
