Hey,

Just wondering if you guys had any tips on accurate colors or techniques fer painting sandbags? Khaki turned out OK but something was missing. Any help?

Hi there

Well if u ask me sandbags r not always the same colour. Khaki is a good colour but u could go a bit darker if u want. U could experiment with a couple of diff washes and c how that pans out and choose the one that worx best. Dont know if this helps. Sorry if it doesnt. But im sure some1 else can clarify.

Keep well.

start with a dark umber base coat and then dry brush khaki or tan. After which i use a brown ink wash to provide some grunge

If you want the bags to look dusty try using pastels,they will really give you a nice effect.Stick with the earth tones raw umber,burnt umber etc..and black for shadows.Cheers ! John.
