DrClarke Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I know this is an old thread, but I'm hoping someone can enlighten me a little here. I really enjoy the red on this mini and I'm attempting to mimic it for a piece I'm doing, but I have some questions as I try to learn techniques. BC Violet Red; HC Pale Violet; HC Rosy Shadow; HC Linen White (needs more); SC Violet Liner; SC Green Liner The original artist uses terms like "BC", "HC", and "SC". I get the BC and HC. Base coast and highlight coat, but what is the SC? Second, how would one use the violet or green liner in this instance? is it super watered down and used for shading and edging? or more like a glaze? The liner series threw me a curve ball. I actually have a couple from friend, but never used them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think it is "Base Color" "Highlight Color" and "Shade Color" but I haven't read the whole thread so don't quote me on that The RMS liners are fun, they have many uses. They were designed for, well, lining (sometimes called darklining). Slightly thinned, they work really well to line sections of the mini. Green liner for green, violet liner for purple or maybe red, etc. They also make decent washes and/or glazes when thinned. In this case, though it looks like they are being used as the shade color, so they are probably being used just like paints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to that point: brown liner and blue liner mix together to make a beautifully rich chromatic black, and I've been known to use a few coats of blue liner by itself as a base coat. They're pretty amazing paints all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinzig Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 As someone who never really uses liners...do you use them more as a wash or do you strategically place them where you want them? I like the idea of a blue/brown/black really dark liner/wash other than my current favorite wash of walnut brown (first RMS paint I'll have to buy a second of).

KatieS Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I use them more as a put them strategically where I want them kind of thing. But I do use the black and brown combo mentioned above as a wash sometimes for wood or stone bases though. It all depends on what effect I am going for...
