Title: Speed painting technique
Post by: draken35 on September 01, 2023, 09:05:48 PM
I've found on Youtube some videos about the use of acrylic paints for tabletop games figures.
One of those videos describes a "speed painting" technique that is useful to quickly paint accessories to place on the tabletop. No need to have a "gold medal & Best of show paint" in such a case ; the goal is to have a tabletop battlefield that is eye-catchning.

I've tried that technique. All the different phases give an unpleasant result; but surprisingly the final result is... elegant!!!

So, here is the description of the process.

First step : a base coat of black color

All the colors used are AK 3G acrylics, with the use of Citadel Colors Nuln Oil & Agrax Earthshade.

The step two consisted in a drybrush of gold on some surfaces. No need to be careful...

After that, with a sponge, rust on some locations and finally Agrax Earthshade applied overall.

As previously said, the final result is eye-catching and good enough for play
