How to Pain with Oils. Ammon Modeling Guide. Volume 2

Oil paints offer many advantages when it comes to recreating a wide variety of effects; their much slower drying time compared to other paint mediums and their finely ground pigment allow for the creation of colour gradations, stains, and all kinds of dirt effects on vehicles and figures. However, regular artist oils also have disadvantages when applied to modelling, they have been designed with Fine Arts in mind and thus to be applied on an absorbent canvas substrate, not on scale models. "Ammo" have developed a special type of oils, the "Oilbrushers", improved and adapted to scale modelling, featuring less oil and a faster drying time. In addition, many different painting techniques and effects can be created with oils, some of which cannot be made using other mediums. In this book, we are going to show you the huge variety of effects that you can accurately reproduce, with oils in general and Oilbrushers in particular, on all types of models ranging from tanks and aircraft to figures and dioramas. You will learn how to apply the most common techniques such as blending, highlighting and shading, and you will also discover many others that can be used in combination with the standard enamel and acrylic techniques. "Ammo Modelling Guide" is a series of books created to serve as a basic guide to get the most out of your paints and each modelling session. This all encompassing series started with arcrylic paints.
