Painting Skin With 4 Colours

Image
The skin on this bust was painted using just 4 colours. It was something I found on Pinterest which was a guide on mixing flesh tones, mainly for oils, but I wondered if I could apply the same technique with my acrylic paints. This model was a practice piece anyway so it didn't really matter if my experiment went horribly wrong! The guide does not have any revolutionary new ways of doing things, this is a very commonly used technique.  Basically you take the following paints: Cadmium Red, Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White.  As I do not have these colours in acrylics I then thought what is the closest colours I do have? So I picked Mephiston Red, Averland Sunset and Ceremite White (all GW) and Blue from the Vallejo air range.  The guide recommends the following:  Think in terms of light and shadow Use a limited palette  Mix the main colours first - light flesh and dark flesh Avoid adding white to your shadows (this I found was terribly difficu

Thinning Your Paints

Image
In this post I hope to help those who are struggling to understand what 'thin your paints!' actually means. Figuring this out myself was actually something I discovered by accident and may happen the same for you. A happy accident of course. I was attempting a satin effect on my Lady Olynder model (which did not work by the way!) however, the effect I ended up with was actually far better for the mini. I was basically thinned my paints down to watercolour paint consistency, and layered them up. This isn't a quick method and happens without you realising, because it is so slow, but it is very effective. This follows on from the 'mediums' post and as you can see in the picture above I have tried to provide some examples of paint mixed with these mediums and different types of paint.  1 - this is Mephiston Red straight out of the pot. You can see how thick and pigment heavy this paint is and I never recommend you use this paint in its non-diluted

Raptoryx - Chaotic Beasts

Image
As we are currently in lockdown, and I have no painting competitions to do I have decided to try and get as much off my desk as possible. Including these guys, that have been sat gathering dust for the last 8 months. They've been done to table top standard and done mostly with Contrast paints to make it as quick as possible. The first one I did on its own just as a colour test, using a bearded vulture as my inspiration, as they remind me of vultures hunting across a savannah in search of carrion or unwary adventurers.  Just a note if you haven't already built yours, don't stick them to their bases until you've painted them. They are really low to the base and a pain to paint underneath with the base in the way.  Base coat them with wraith bone spray and then I did the following process to paint mine up. Base coats:  Head - Basilicanum Grey Body - Gryph-hound orange Wings, feathers, tail tip, claws, spikes (not wing-claws), back of ruffle - Black
