A little help with paints please.
I'm looking for some help in finding and learn the difference in all these paints.
This originally came up in the Figures and Misc. forum. Maybe some others in this forum can help me.
Here's a cut and past form a post I just made over in Figures and Misc.
Well after what you?ve said and after reading the, "how to make faded panel lines" in the Armor forum I took the dive.
I bout a tub of 1.25 Oz. tube of Winsor and Newton Artists' Oil Colour in Burnt Sienna and a .27 Oz. Winsor and Newton Cotman Water Colour Cadmium Yellow. I?m not sure if they are "acrylics" I?m not sure what that word encompasses or entails.
The Oil Colour works GREAT. I love it. I?m probably going to buy a tub of some shade of tan and go crazy on my M1. Its expensive though. $9 for 1.27 oz. OUCH!
However, the Water Color doesn't work. It beads up on the plastic just like water wood (go figure). I can work it in but it takes WAY to much work and I have VERY little control over the fading process.
I really have no idea what I'm buying. I wish I had expert modeling friends local I could work with. Or even canvas artists that can tell me the difference between all of them so I can make my own decision. When I ask the clerks they have no idea.
I might jump over to the Aormur forum and post there too.
I?m not sure if I would actually want to do the camouflage in oil colors. But the face definitely!
