First Layer: Color Filtering
Hello Gang!!! ;D
The past couple of weeks have involved applying the first layer of filters to bring in the colors.
To begin with Battlewagon got a shiny coat of Pledge floor wax with future, since I couldn’t find any regular ol Future. The Pledge floor wax was shot through the AB s straight from the bottle and did not have any issues and cleaned up well with water and Windex.
This entire filtering layer was applied using Winsor and Newton oils in conjunction with Winsor and Newton Liquin Original. Liquin Original is a semi-gloss medium that speeds drying, improves flow and reduces brush stroke retention. A little practice is need in using the Liquin Original but it really helps with the use of oils. Additionally Mona Lisa Oderless Paint Thinner was also used, this product is a mild thinner that will not attack the under laying surfaces as aggressively as other thinners. I highly recommend both products if you are going to use oil paints.
Starting with the Turret and then moving on to the hull this first filter was applied to the lowest points and then on to the higher points. What this mean is that the filter was applied on to the surfaces under the stowage and then I move to whatever was laying on the previously filtered surface. (not sure if that makes any sense). The results are subtle, but you can see more color depth, which will be built upon with each additional filtering layer that will be applied.
(BTW the Air ID panal has NOT be filtered as of yet)
The next layer will be shadows and pin washes.
Thanks for looking and for your Comments
Coming Soon!...
