Just realised you were referring to the first part of my post. *engages brain*<br /><br />The initial wash I used over gesso was a home mix of 10% liquid matte medium, 1% Flow Aid, made up to volume with DI water, with 1 drop/ml of Quasar Black acrylic ink. The second wash mix I tried was 50% liquid matte medium, 5% flow aid, 2 drops/ml Quasar Black.<br /><br />I tested the stronger mix on a part-painted figure I had lying around and it worked as it was meant to, so I'm guessing that the gesso is binding the ink in the wash very strongly leading to overall staining rather than pooling in the recesses.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-82089793509746207972012-01-04T23:54:23.656+00:002012-01-04T23:54:23.656+00:00Back when I painted these I was using a wash made ...Back when I painted these I was using a wash made from cheapo Reeves black craft acrylic and water.
