Wash and drybrush

These next set of pictures show the base coat being enhanced with a wash and drybrushing. Picture 1 shows the wash added to the vehicle. I use a wash to enhance the shadows and low-lying areas of the vehicle and it is not a form of weathering. At this point some of the edges are a bit rough. For a light colored vehicle such as this I use Winsor/Newton raw umber artist oil paint thinned with Turpenoid for the wash. Turpenoid is an odorless type of turpentine that I purchase from local art supply stores. The process I use for drybrushing is in two stages. First stage is to match the base color by mixing Winsor/Newton artist oil paints. I add to the oil paint base color a product called ‘Liquin’ that helps enhance the flow of the oil paint and drying time. I usually create more than is needed for a particular project and have found out that I could save the extra color by placing the color into a piece of aluminum foil and wrapping the paint tightly so that it is not exposed to the air. Much like oil paint in a tube it will stay useable for a long time. I have some of these little pack for up to 2 years now and still usable. I use a wide, soft brush to apply the oil paint drybrush. This stage gets rid of any hard edges left by the wash. I usually place all the parts in a drying box over night to speed up the drying of the oil paints. Final drybrushing to enhance the light shining off of protrusions and details is done with Vallejo acrylic paints. Using the acrylics I use a stiffer flat brush starting with a heavier drybrush with the darker colors and ending with a light touch with the lighter colors. In this instance I used in order Vallejo Green Brown, Green Ochre and Buff. I used Vallejo German Camouflage Black Brown for the rubber sections of the suspension. This looks very close to rubber to my eyes and isn’t quite as much a stark contrast as flat black. Pictures 2 and 3 show the final drybrushing. You will also notice that a base color of Vallejo Khaki has been added to the mantlet cover. This will be painted much the same way I paint figures using Vallejo paints to create shadows and highlights on the fabric folds.
