Aircraft Grey drybrushing?

I paint with enamels, and what I like to do is this: Take the bottle of the base color, after it has settled, and scoop a small blob of the thick pigment off of the bottom with a toothpick. I place this in a cheapo plactic pallet. Then I take a similar sized blob of titanium white artists oil paint, and I mix the two with another toothpick. I use that mixture to drybrush with. This way, you can adjust the shade of the color, use darker mixtures, then work your way lighter, using a lighter and lighter touch. It's pretty easy and looks great once it's all done.

i do the same as josh, cept i usually stir my enamel before i mix it with the artist's oil, both ways will work perfectly fine though. i tell you a dirt cheap, easy to clean, last forever pallete, i use a white 4" glazed ceramic tile. its glossy, non porous surface hardly allows anything to bond permanently. i picked this one up at a local interior decorating place for about .35 cents. later.

Titanuim oil paint? Sorry guys but I need some colors that I can work with. I have enamel paint and acrylic but I dont know what Titanuim oil paint is. I want to know so I can look out for it if i see it anywhere.

Okay. I'm gonna have a go at this for ya Peter.
I think, as I understand the other 2 posts, they are talking about "artist's oil paints". No brand in particular. It's the "titanium white" that is throwing you.
I believe that that is the color of artist's oil paint that you want to get. Titaniun white.
You can get these artist's oils at any good hobby supply, Hobby Lobby, Michael's any arts and crafts store.
The brand doesn't matter.
I hope this is what they are talking about and it clears it up for you.

Yes, Peter, like Randie said, "Titanium White" is the name of a sort of generic white in artists' oil colors, similar to us modellers having "Insignia White" or the common "Flat White". So far, every artists' oils brand that I've seen carries that color, so it seems to be a standard shade. You'll have no trouble getting it at any well-stocked art store, regardless of the brand.

i bought mine from Walmart friend. later.

Yep, they hit the nail on the head. Any brand of artist's oil will work also, just make sure it's the regular oil not the water soluable oil before you go mixing with the enamel. It really is easy and it really does work great. Give it a shot!

After I finish patting myself on the back for lucking out on that one, I think I might even give it a try.
