Ive started painting again, and Ive got a bit of a question. I've been painting over regal blue with enchanted as a highlight. I'm using the enchanted in really really thin coats attempting to get gradual highlights, but it looks pretty chalky. Is this just some quirk of the paint I have, or am I missing something?

I finally figured out why my paint looked chalky, I was using too much water. Almost an odd concept when trying to build up layers of paint. Simple green is the poo poo.

I tried lessing the water, but that didnt help it. So I tried using and even less, and viola!

Leave it soaking for at least a week, it comes off great after a few weeks in the tank.

What exactly is the difference between matte medium and glazing medium. They look like they do the same thing, but that cant be right..

TotallyGreen posted:So about a month ago in the main Warham thread !amicable posted this picture. This is the first Eldar paint scheme that I've really liked. Anyone know what paints these are? Tips on how to do the jewels? Would I use white or black primer here? I'd say black primer various shades of grey for highlights/gun (might be basecoated deneb stone?)3 There might be a hint of commando khaki in the mix on some of the highlights blue gems- maybe necron abyss or another blue tinted with some black, then a enchanted blue with ice blue highlights Other gems-something maybe dark green leading up to khaki or bleached bone, I cant really tell.

If you have that much skill to do that with unthinned paints, stop being retarded and thin them.

Iron Squid posted:Awesome! Thank for those. Always thin your paints  Except maybe the very lightest shade of gold, that one came at about the right consistency twice now, so it may be the paint itself.

If you're looking at the top, it is but thats because of the glue. For some reason I couldnt get it to go together without excessive amounts of the glue, and I realized I missed sanding it off halway through the basecoat.

Would this be a good way to paint the color of tau flesh- Shadow grey Asurmen blue wash Badab Black wash Shadow grey highlight with lighter greys. Or would I want to do a shadow grey/ultramarine blue for the base? My soulgrinder sits here taunting me.

Hmm. I'll mess around with it and see how it goes. I dont know why I have it though.. Also- this metal is bothering me http://coolminiornot.com/239451 How the hell can I get that tone/sheen? I tried silver undercoat, then a devlan mud was, and I still cant get it looking right. Is that a lighter brown wash, or is there some gold?

yum posted:Should I be thinning Foundation paints? I've been doing roughly 1:1 water mix with hormagaunt purple on white primer and this is my first time painting "properly" so I'm not sure what it should look like at first. It takes 2-3 watery coats to get a light purple color. Thats about what you want, maybe a liiiitle more paint in the water, but thats it  Add a little purple to the wash, that should lighten it more without changing the color tone.

Ive skimmed through a good chunk of the thread, so if I missed it sorry, but what is a good airbrush to go ahead and get? Theres about a 100$ one at hobby lobby, does that sound about right for a good/decent one?

I'll take a look at michaels as well- A compressor is no problem, my dad used to do engraving/inlay professionally for a while, and I can go over to the parents house in the next few days and pick it up since he's gotten a newer one.
