perhaps then you are simply thinning it too much, so that its seperating on your model once laid down?

i did notice that the pigment was settling in my little palette tray rather quickly.  i basically had to mix it arround with my brush every time i went to get more.  but i feel like every time i did use it, it was well mixed.

sounds like you didn't keep the wash well mixed. High thinner to paint ratio wash will start to separate after a while, and may not be noticeble in the containter as the paint pigment settles on the bottom.

oil wash for panel lines
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 1, 2005 11:45 AM

alright, i tried doing this for the first time a few days ago.  i learned how to do it by watching brett green's video on the testor scale workshop site. i think i've got the technique down. ( not much to it anyway )  i ran the wash into all the panel lines; it worked well and i had no problems.  i went back to clean up, after allowing it to dry, and all the lines i washed weren't even looking.  the oil paint dried with spaces in between almost like a dashed line.  i had to go back over all the lines four times, like above, before i had a consistent paint distribution in the panel lines.  i don't remember brett saying that it would work out like that.  i'm using Winsor & Newton: Winton Oil Colours and Gemini Masterpiece thinner.  so what do ya'll think?  i basically have no idea what i'm doing and any help will be greatly appreciated.
