Hi Dane,
I could be wrong here, but I believe Juliette did not use medium here. I did this course at the end of the year, so my memory isn’t fresh on what she said, but I remember that from the appearance of it applied on the canvas and how she worked it in, I think it would have been straight out of the tube. The viscosity of your paint and the surface you are working on matters here. Some oil paints can be dry and stiff, others buttery, others more viscous. Best to experiment with a couple – the earth tones such as raw umber makes it more affordable to do so. For surface, some are more absorbant than others, which will affect the spreadability.
For the underpainting, it would be best to let it dry before beginning the first layer of colour to prevent the underpainting “bleed” into your colour layer.
