love it!! There are loads of fire tutorials but very few on smoke. Love the way you see the smoke build up as the layers progress and it's all in realtime not time lapsed, again, something that's not done very often. Thank you
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. It helps so much to watch you work from the beginning. I hope you make some more videos like this where you work is through the whole process. Thanks for sharing!
Good evening Mick, been a while. I find fire real easy but never really thought about Smoke till recently when I started thinking of airbrushing my van. As it's a light silver shade I don't want to change the base colour ... Smoke. Much appreciated.
Appreciate you is that you show in peace and quiet, usually shows most as fast as you do not have time to learn. I understand of course that this is due to long video clip. Then appreciated even when you tell mixture of coloring techniques, etc., even where it also depends of course on the quality of color etc. Thanks Chris🇸🇪
Excellent job - nice tutorial.. Not overly complicated (as it should be!) - I know that you prefer the blue color shift in this application - however, how would you approach this same 'smoke' effect if you did not want the blue color shift?
Hi Mick Neill; great tutorial I only have couple questions; I have always used acrylic paint with my airbrush, but I am making an oil painting that requires this effect specifically, do you think it possible to do it with very diluted oil paint? and if so what medium would be appropriate to use or recommended ? I would appreciate your answer or comment. and thank you for your extraordinary video
Hiya I have airbrushed with oil paint in the past and does thin down enough to flow through the airbrush, although its very transparent and required multiple layers to get some opacity, paint will need to be strained though before using in airbrush
EH UP ! Mick can you help ?I have asked others on the web/Tube but I have got mixed and confusing information, what do you use to cover candies to stop colour bleed a guy from "Aston martin" (yeah the car people) says clear base or clear coat others have said intercoat but I have no idea what that is as it has many different applications, it's for an up and coming project on a Bicycle, again flame work, Cheers mate
Robert Kirk hey buddy, its always a safe bet just to clearcoat it if you need to paint over the candy afterwards to avoid any bleed, but i tend to do a couple of coats of transparent base or intercoat (basically the same thing) but keep.some of the thinners out of it, alternatively a waterbased transparent base is a great seal coat for stopping bleed, great if you have to apply graphics afterwards hope this helps
What do you spray the black background with? Can I spray the canvas with Black acrylic lacquer and then spray over it when its dry with water based airbrush paint?
Liquitex do an acrylic paint spray can, they are fantastic to use for back grounds, i tend to re use alot of practice pieces by using them to black out and use again
Terry Mccarthy they are all pretty much the same, im using a waterbased paint from inspire H20 for this one, i dont tend to have a favourite, best advice is to try a few and test which one you feel more comfortable with, they will all flow the same when the reduction is right for the paint, doesnt really help you much i know, but test a couple and stick to the bigger names, they always seem to be refined a bit more than others thanks mick
ahhh, sorry buddy, i thought you were looking for a specific brand, i would always say a waterbased acrylic for airbrushing, or if you have the extraction facility , automotive solvent colours are great for airbrushing with but very smelly, not good for you, and quite flammable, but fantastic for flow and general working
