Anyway, I wanted to show the attetion to detail in these surfaces. Some deliberately random patterns and blends with strong contrasting colours. These days my painting is more expressive than ever. But that does not mean that less time goes into a surface than when I am doing smooth blends. The expression is just very different.
Interesting to see how precise you are when you paint. Really incredible stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing this model finished!

So much texture on such a small surface, incredible.
ReplyDeleteWith the paint chips are these created with a brush or are you using another technique?
ReplyDeleteThe paint chippings are made using a sponge of blisterfoam and black. Then I go over the surface with white adding highlights here and there and textures by Breaking up some of the black dots.
ReplyDeleteI never dare use the blister sponger technique, you just don't have the control. I need to be more brave I guess :)
ReplyDeleteMight i suggest you try sponging on a dark, rusty, dirty reddish brown or a dirty dark gray like charadon granite, to hint at a primer or rust under the paint or just the bare metal, totally weathered. Nice work as always :-)
