Hey hobbyists!

Does anyone know a quick and dirty way to paint white or oof-white cloth, such as tabards, robes, capes, etc.?

Will this technique translate well when painting other artifacts like scrolls and books?

thanks for any helpful advice in advance

The Easiest way I do this is with a coat of dark brown, then light brown sectioning, then 50/50 mix of light brown and white, then 70/30 mix white/light brown, then white highlighting. For paper I stop at the 50/50 mix and go straight to white, then some light drybrushing with bright yellow to get an aging effect. Hope it helps!

I also found this article on the GW website:

5) Cloth (Loincloth, inside of cloak, Purity Seal paper etc)
The cloth areas were basecoated with Khemri Brown, which was then mixed with increasing amounts of Kommando Khaki and painted on as highlights, until pure Kommando Khaki was used for the final highlight. Next a line highlight of Bleached Bone was painted on, and finally a last highlight of Skull White. If the overall effect looks too severe, a very watered-down wash of Devlan Mud can be used to dull down the colours.

examples

Iyanden Darksun
Bleached bone
Gryphone Sepia

try it - works very well and you can layer the wash to taste - all in 3 easy coats

Dammit. STOP phrasing subject lines like that. I clicked in here expecting to see a nice How-To thread and instead, got another g'damned question about looking for one.

Arrrgh. Now I need to go stomp something.

I agree that there should be a question mark, but now that there's a tutorial section of
the site, you can tell what to expect.

Point taken.

Counter Point: How many people do you think actually pay that much attention? Most times, people don't even read entire threads and ask questions already asked and answered. Sometimes in the post right above theirs.
