What are the most obscure but effective painting techniques you have seen or used?

Show pics if possible and videos.

Thank you.

Community painting.

One person organizes a few like-minded individuals into an assembly line of sorts. Each person contributes to the best of their ability. For example, one person is good at smooth base coats, another at shading, another at drybrushing. Someone has a steady hand, so they pick out the fine details. When you’re done, you pass the model down the line.

By working together, each painter winds up with better models than they could paint by themselves.

Using colouring pencils for weathering.

Metal and graphite powders over black base coat,

saw it with saw it with blackadders scratch built thunder hawk and also various prop makers
