Mr V's painting Master Class! KISS- Keep It Simple....
Painting on this scale i am mixing buckets of paint and washes. Standard house painting brushes are used.
I use the following system of paint applications;
1) The base coat (thick straight out of the can)
2) Cream wash -slightly watered down.
3) Tea wash- very watered down.
4) "wax on wax off"- apply the paint then remove whilst still wet. No mercy.
I am using black burnt umber and burnt sienna for the washes.
Below are two examples of 3 (Tea) and 4 (paint removal)
You can see how the wash has totally changed the base coat.
I stood the bulkhead upright so i could get the wash running in the "direction of flight".
