Makes me wonder how using translucent paints could add to it too.<br /><br />I've got an article on them here, because it's neat to be able to paint but allow light through:<br /><br />http://www.wargamingtradecraft.com/2013/02/translucent-not-quite-clear-paints.htmlDave Garbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557481319925772152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-63580449418913617202014-11-19T19:49:13.410-06:002014-11-19T19:49:13.410-06:00Byron, I affixed painter's tape in a downwards...Byron, I affixed painter's tape in a downwards cone attached to her gun to create a soft edge mask. The distance between the tape edge and the figure's surface allowed a nice, diffused edge to the spray painted area.<br /><br />Greg, it just means that I first primed black, then sprayed white in a downwards direction (around 30 degrees off from vertical), simulating where the Sun's light would hit the figure. The resulting greyscale underpainting shines through the thin, multiple glazes.DaveVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629682074533048304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-77093735226809182382014-11-19T16:15:55.778-06:002014-11-19T16:15:55.778-06:00I still have to look up what "zenithal" ...I still have to look up what "zenithal" means, but that is a super cool effect Dave.

I may have gone a little higher up, but then again, I am not sure I would have been brave enough to AIRBRUSH a clear fig that I wanted to stay clear! Good work, and maybe more importantly BRAVE work!ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.com
