There's a lot of techniques that can be used to paint with polymer clay, it's been done for decades by many artists. My favorite examples come from Kellie Mowat, she makes lovely 3D flowers with lots of details and color gradients. Here's a nice example of her work: youtu.be/izr25OKWfGM On a side note, asking an artist to make a video of their work may be considered rude, you're pretty much asking her to spill away her secrets. Not every artist feels comfortable making videos, specially when they depend on selling their creations to pay the bills.

I don't know if AngeniaC uses a similar technique, her technique may be entirely different. But I think the video proves that it's possible to paint and create color gradients with polymer clay.

She doesn't ever even respond to her followers anyway (talking about being rude) and I wasn't trying to be rude, although I can see how it could come across as that, so my apologies.  Just the way the coloring is, I am skeptical that this is not painted and I never stated that she had to provide video of herself doing it.  I searched and searched on Google for a technique to see how she is claiming that she's doing this without painting and never could find one and I've commented a few times before asking her if she would possibly let us know what the technique she is doing to do what she does without painting.  She doesn't have to give off her "secrets" or anything but I found it impossible.  And after so many unanswered comments for months at end, that's where the comment of mine here come across off as being irritable.  >->;

As for the video, thank you for providing it.  I can see how one could go about doing so.  
You are a true artist.

I'm not sure why she never answers messages, but I guess that her knowledge of English is not good enough. She writes very brief descriptions (if any) and they usually contain mistakes. She may not even know what we're saying XD when I find an artist that never answers, I don't comment either.

I think that what she does is possible to achieve with polymer clay, I only tried polymer clay painting once but I think I get an idea of how she does it. I hope the video helped you, or at least you found it interesting it's a bit hypnotic.

Thanks for saying that

thanks for talking about how they could not have done this i found a video that shows you n  you tube. i appreciate your help www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWw_4o… there is the video of it and i can see how this person did the same thing but was more detailed with the polymer

If you don't work with polymer clay I can see how you wouldn't understand this technique and realize it's literally in almost every polymer clay video ever. It's basic layering and the easiest to do on a flat surface because you don't have to worry about distortion. It's nothing fancy you just have to have patience. Try rolling out a piece of clay less than an 1/8cm and see how much you can layer that before it really looks 3D. And you would be amazed at what caning can do if you've never heard of that.

Pieces like this aren't popular among the younger generation right now. Most clay artist are getting into the Kawaii trend, making special fx inspired pieces, or using clay with jewelry. So what you will find on the internet is probably not like this how that doesn't mean it's not possible. Plenty of artists around the world do this. You just don't realize it because it's in a different format, say a figurine. 

And perhaps you need to zoom in on your PC cause after about 300-500% you'll notice that castle isn't as detailed as you think. It's very basic geometric shapes and indents that give the a great appearance. Miniature work is easier in this way. You can put in a lot of simple details to give the appearance of something greater and unless someone has the piece 3in from their face they have no idea because that's how the brain has interpreted the image.

I'm skeptical as well. The gradients/shading can be done by rolling it out with a presser a bunch of times, but the details themselves are what I can't picture as being entirely polymer.

Yeah.  That's what I was thinking but I think I worded it wrong, lol.

You can actually use polymer clay this way. I am a polymer clay artist and I can attest that this can in fact be done. It requires a lot of painstaking work, which is what makes her work even more beautiful.

Show me a video of someone doing something this detailed with no paints?  Because as it stands, I can see shading being done but the finer details.... Especially on a flat-surfaced piece of clay, I just can't believe it's not painted.

I don't have to show you a video. If you want to see someone doing it, then you can find one yourself  on You Tube, I am sure. It is a matter of taking very tiny proportions of clay on the end of the tool, and very lightly smoothing it on to the base layer. And actually, this technique is done much easier on a flat piece of clay, especially if it has been pre-hardened. Artists use polymer clay in their paintings as well (I am one of them) and when the clay is really soft and warm, you can work it very thin like this.

Then why reply?

I said I found it hard to believe unless I saw a video of it (which I've not been able to find in a Google search) and I don't take people's words.  That would be like me believing in the Enquirer when they claim someone gave birth to a boy-pig.
I assumed since I said that and you replied, I'd see if you had video.  If you aren't willing to provide video then why even respond to my comment?  I don't know you.  I'm not taking your word for it, I'm sorry.
