I am following a tutorial that has a step about "applying a oil wash as a filter". I am painting a vehicle and I am a bit unsure how to proceed. I take that a filter is a bit like a glaze, meaning that it should just tint the whole surface of the vehicle? should I use a airbrush to apply it?

I have also never really worked with oils before, when thinning oils to use in a wash, is it just a mix of thinner and the colour or is some other additive necessary?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384489.page GMT Re:Question about oil colours and filters To wash in the recesses, the model should be sealed (w/ future floor/kleaar/kleer or gloss), but maybe to glaze it is not necessary..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384734.page GMT Question about oil colours and filters http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6384881.page GMT Question about oil colours and filters

Thanks for your answer. Does anyone have any experience airbrushing oil washes? is it doable?


I don't think I would ever put an oil through my airbrush.

From a cleaning standpoint alone I shudder at the idea. Also keep in mind that oil eats rubber and that's all kinds of bad.

I came to the same conclusion (or more the thought of a fine mist of thinner in my bedroom gave me cold feet). Anyhow I feel that it was really easy to work with the oil wash, much more easily brushed on than acrylic shades/washes.

Here´s a WIP-shot of the result if someone is interested:

You can get a shade wash of the whorls of your thumbprint so it should do any mode details you need!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6385504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570606/6385504.page GMT
