Putting the Green in Greenskins
A weekend with a combination of chores and nice warm weather scuppered any chances of getting hobby done and then work got in the way of getting any painting in. How inconsiderate!
Anyway, I’ve finally got some colour on to specific areas with a normal brush so it feels like I’ve actually done some proper painting now.
Tools of the trade.As you can see, I used Castellan Green for the first green colour. This is a base paint but given that I’m going over brown rather than the black primer I might have gotten away with a layer paint at this point.
I used what I would consider a relatively normal sized brush; it’s a size 2 but that isn’t all that helpful as a reference given that different brands sizes don’t match up with each other.
I’m also using my home made wet palette. For this process I didn’t water the paints down other than using the moisture from the wet palette and the water in the brush from dipping it in my water pot.
I picked out all of the green areas on the Grots attempting to be relatively neat in order to save time correcting mistakes. Despite this there will be areas wher I’ve got green that I shouldn’t and whole areas that I’ll have missed.
You can see that the shading in particular from the previous step is still showing through now that the green is down.
Getting all 44 minis to this stage was quite time consuming but not difficult and the base green is the biggest single area of colour so it feels like good progress on the way to getting these done.
