Okay, I promise not to keep commenting, but I thought I'd share my early results, based on your cool ideas.

I started here:

Young Tristan

I didn't bother with trying to make the clothes look different, just plunged into the layer thing. I did your steps, but I after the Multiply step, I went back and clothified the base image, then added another layer and tried Grain Merge, and I liked the effect, so here's what I wound up with:

Young Tristan portrait

Still too photographic--mostly, I think, because the source image pose wasn't a portrait-painter's pose to start with. And the result is more modern than, say, 19th century portraiture, but I sure learned a lot doing it. Thanks again.
