				<title>oil paints on models.</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello all, does anybody out there use oil paints to highlight over your acrylics? I read the article on  Dakka and watched a video, but I want some first hand information. The technique looks amazing. I am always trying to take my models to the next level, so if you know the real deal on using oils please share what types used, how you apply and any tips. Thanks!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I do that some times.  It's so much easier to wet blend with oils than acrylics.  Pretty much everyone on the planetfigure.com forums does oils over a base colour of acrylic.  I do the stipling/pushing method of blending brighter colours into the darker ones.  The other technique I like is to directly shade with oils and feather them out over the acrylic and then push them back down towards the recesses, leaving a fade of darker paint behind.<br /> <br /> As for my oils, I managed to score some pretty high end Grumbacher Pre-Tested brand ones off of Ebay.  These sort of ones:<br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Grumbacher-Pre-tested-Oil-Paints-10-Colors-81-fl-oz-24ml-/221259616215" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Grumbacher-Pre-tested-Oil-Paints-10-Colors-81-fl-oz-24ml-/221259616215</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/grumbacher-pre-tested-oil-sets/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.dickblick.com/products/grumbacher-pre-tested-oil-sets/</a><br /> <br /> Any artist grade oils will work great as the pigments will be ground really fine.  Student grade ones can have bigger pigment chunks and can end up looking chalky as they are really made for painting larger canvases rather than miniatures.<br /> <br /> EDIT:  Synthetic brushes work better with oils than natural hairs.  So you can go a bit cheaper on your brushes for the oils.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Oils are good for getting really smooth blends as they have a long working time.<br /> <br /> Just remember to seal your models before and after.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Ah man, thanks ya'll. I agree it doesn't look difficult, I just wanted to really see how many other artist are using them. Sweet, I guess the next time at <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(5);'>AC</span> Moore's I will purchase some basic colors! ]]></description>
