A masterful job of "weathering" everything.
It all has an old worn appearance. Can you describe your technique? |

Hi Michael,
Thanks for comment and questions. The weathering is quite simple but requires multiple iterations. 1. Usually apply base paint in black (Acrylic) 2. Apply thin layer of color (Acrylic, in the front structure case, green). When it’s fully dried, 3. Apply very thin layer of ‘white’ pastel powder and wipe out (you can use your finger) to make edges, lines and small details more pronounced. 4. To add rusty dusty feel, apply another layer of pastel powder; brown or sometimes yellow or mixture of those. In some situation, especially when the surface is too smooth, the powder doesn’t stick well. In that case, I used to apply a drop of water on pastel powder, mix it and use it as if it is color paint. It creates the muddy feeling when it dries. In some cases, you can to Step#4 first and then do Step#3. Overall, it may sound complicated, but you will find very simple and doesn’t require any fancy equipment (cost effective), but time consuming process. So, for me, I took it as another way of meditation. Please try and find your style. |
