i donno if the quality will bother you but i just did this last night:

Im using just a couple layers, heavier layers, to blend faster, it just wont be as smooth...to glaze its usually thinner layers because you are trying to blend two areas so if you use a heavy glaze its gonna just mess it up

Shading heavy wash (drag towards darkest)
highlight: heavy glaze (be soft on the brush)
blending joint lines or tinting: thin glaze


for an idea on consistency:

i never go by ratios, so dont assume its 1 drop of water to 1 drop of paint, test your consistency with the paper, and memorize what the paint looks like(dragging some out and away from the puddle will help show you how transparent it is)

because p3 paint is already quite liquidy it doesnt take much to thin it so:
the 1st line would be heavy glaze/wash, its thinned, transparent but still has a lot of pigment
2nd line is thin glaze for tabletop, its thin enough to tint
3rd line is thin glaze for blending...this is what you would paint with using successive washes, to build up transition and super smooth blending

The less contrast you have in a piece the smoother you can make the quick blending, because i have high contrast it will look a bit rougher upon close inspection, but very nice at 12"+.. your usual tabletop viewing distance

The light source(zenithal) is what allows me to place the highlights and shades so quick and easy because i already know where hey are going because light has a predetermined angle...the head is brighter so the piece has a focal point...all the while painting a tabletop mini, quickly


this is the end result






you can use red, or green, or brown, or purple and green, or red and green, or whatever colours you want to shade the yellow, i just chose purple cuz i could :P

Does this guy apply to the table top or not?



Tepok
