Making Pengwen bases part 1

October 7, 2020

Stuff I used:
1. Soft Snow Flake from Woodland Scenics
2 Ink in the colour Process Cyan
3 Titanium White Heavy Body Acrylic
4 Modeling Paste
5 Distress Crackle Paint in the color Clear Rock Candy from Ranger/Tim Holtz
6 Iridescent Medium
7 Water
8 Small crystals
9 Transparent very thin and very slow drying glue

First I make sure the base is as white as possible. Then I add a big ‘dollop’ of the Crackle Paint (this can often be found in scrapbook shops, let me know if you want a link). The higher/thicker the ‘dollop’ is, the bigger the crack pieces will be. Give it plenty of time to dry. There are other brands of ‘crackle paint’, like GW has some stuff too (not transparent though, I think). But my absolute favourite for ice is this one.

I dilute the blue ink heavily with water. It’s at least half and half, if not more water. I really don’t like GW’s Drakenhof Nightshade or Army Painters Blue Tone for this. They’re both too ‘black-ish’ in tone. But I think you could use Guilliman Blue Glaze from GW if you have it.

As soon as the ink is applied I wipe it off with some paper towel, so it’s more or less ‘only’ down in the cracks. Depending on the base it will seep a little underneath the crackle paint as well. I like that. It adds some ‘depth’ to it.
