Painting Big Trouble in Little China
Guardians part 1
Those were a bit more challenging to paint. I decided to retire my Contrast Paint and use more traditional methods. I first based the miniature with Formula P3 Sickly Skin mixed with Liquitex Retarding Medium. I then wet blended P3 Underbelly Blue towards the bottom and then P3 Wurm Green for the slime coming out of the thing.
Once that was dry I added an overall Citadel Reikland Fleshade wash. I should have waited a little bit more to do that as the previous paint coats weren’t dry enough and the wash mixed with it. In the end it wasn’t too bad but I should erred on the side of caution and let everything dry a little more before washing it.
Reikland was only my first wash pass though. I then followed with Citadel Drakenhoff Nighshade where there was blue and Athonian Camoshade where there was green. Being careful to blend everything. Almost using the wash as a glaze instead of the normal method. Having learned my lesson I left that to dry thoroughly before continuing on.
