It seems that these shades don't glaze well for me, but perhaps I'm not diluting them enough. I was thinking of using Payne's Gray, but I don't know how dark it is...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216887/362430.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216887/362430.page GMT
If you want really good blending you have to do many layers.
No washes.




If you want to keep your sanity and get an army out you should be doing:
Codex grey undercoat for 'blacklining'
Fortress grey as your primary colour.
Fortress grey + white highlight
White edge highlight

However, even the subtle lines of demarcation between layers look too cartoony for my tastes and I prefer to blend them with a few very pale washes. That's a pretty common technique to "meld" the layers; it consolidates them into a cohesive blend before applying the lightest of the highlights. I'm looking for a wash/glaze product/shade recommendation that's not going to go chalky or muddy if I do.

I've read some threads concerning Payne's Gray from Liquitex, but that looks pretty dark. Anyone know what kind of a tone the Payne's Gray has?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216887/362583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216887/362583.page GMT
