Casey,


If you take your rainbow trout and re-load your airbrush with black, you can gently go over the lower edge of the scumline to tone it down without having to remove the previous work.

With weathering LESS IS MORE! Remember that while you work, your face is literally inches from the model. You need to apply a bit, then take four steps back and analyze. Rinse and repeat.

You're off to a good start. Love the dry transfers!

I’m working on it. Think I’ve come upon the right mixture. Hemp, white and a algae green. We shall see.

Trying.

Casey,

It's just a beautiful biggening! Just like Picasso said "It will be done when it's done" At least you are brave enough to go after it!

Sent a friend the picture. His response was: “are you painting a Rainbow Trout decoy?”

3D and weathering are aquired skills and not a talent. You start doing it and keep doing it and over time, you geht good at it. I do't know anyone who, just by talent, could do a decent weathering job straight away.
