Don't have pics but the stripy one had a dark wash (nuln oil if it matters) and grey/white highlights as a bit of an experiment and it breaks up the colours and looks ok. Red one had a brown wash and already looks much better.
Blue one is grey and a bluey grey to break up the single block of colour, don't think there is enough difference in the colours really but it looks much better than it did and the original blue is only there in little areas and sort of works I think.
All good practice for me trying out blending and working on painting.
