A quick question for folks out there who have played with this technique, I've just started experimenting myself. I've read two conflicting bits of information, one being that they are applied over a flat coat (so the oils have something to bite into, and don't just smear around like a wash) and the other that they are applied over gloss coat.
Would this be varied as to the affect one is trying to achieve (i.e. a miscolored panel vs. a streak?) and what do you folks do when dot filtering?
My normal technique is prime, acryl paint, acryl gloss, decal or mask and paint, acryl gloss, oil pin wash. This next step is the point where I'm unclear for dot filtering. Or do I want to be filtering before my pin wash? My last step is usually an acryl clear coat followed by an enamel flat coat (I find the enamels seal everything up and harden up very nicely).
