Painting statues with brushes: help and suggestions
Hi folks,
Since I’ve started sculpting in these last months, I’ve realized that painting a statue is a challenging and complex process, way beyond my skills and experience.
However, I’d like to give it a try. Of course, I do not intend to spend money because I’m greedy (and without money), so airbrush equipment is unfortunately not an option: however I saw some sculptors achieving outstanding results just with brushes (from the bench corner but there was a Narin’ Wolverine, painted by himself with just brushes, that was plain awesome and other examples I can’t remember now) so I’d like to take this direction.
I do not want to start a debate here, brush vs airbrush (especially after all the incredible videos of Vince-vell), I would just like to receive some advice/guideline/tutorial/link on painting this way: from priming, up to shading effects and details. Internet is full of tutorials with airbrush, but nothing about simple brushes…
Thanks!
