Paint it Black

    Last night I finally put brush to paint and tried the black formulas recommended by some members of the planet. I am painting a 54mm 'Blade' resin figure by SOL and it's all[/U] black--so I knew I was going to have to mix it up a bit (literally) to make things interesting:
    Overcoat: (Vallejo acrylics) Black + Brunt Umber (80-20)
    Pants: Black + Dk. Prussian Blue (80-20)
    Vest, gloves & boots: Black Grey + a touch of pants mix.
    I did the head in enamel.
    I am very happy with the overall effect of varying the 'temperature' of the black--something I had never tried before. it gives just enough subtle variation toavoid the figure from being bland. I will post photos in a couple weeks when I get my new digital camera, but I wanted to share this most happy & successful painting experience--using suggestions from other planet members. Thanks guys! (y)
