candys

hi people,could really do with some of your knowledge regarding these candys.i have just purchased a small aa candy pigment set,was just wondering if i could use candy yellow with trans sun gold and if so in which order should i go about it.do i put one colour down first or can they be mixed together.thankyou you clever bunch marco.

what color is the background/panel? layer the yellow trans sun the use the candy to deepen the shadows and bring out the highlites. Make sure it is reduce properly or it will create a flat appearence. Hope this helps!

thanks for taking time to reply,its a silver base,a xbox case with skulls on it.so candy yellow first then the trans sun gold,and reduce 3-1 with 4011 reducer. thanks once again

Negative. Candies go on top. They tint the paint they're on top of.

ahhh i see,please excuse my ignorance,thanks again for your time.as i only have a small collection of candys apple red,emerald green,yellow and black kinda wanna be sure what these will look like so not sure on which to use now soooo confusing

you may also want to invest in a cheap but usable hair dryer. There is an airbrush tricks demo that shows how to flash the candy faster so you can get deeper color faster (it's for flames, but works with anything you use candy for). That tip came in handy for me, that's for sure. They'll go on really wet, since they are pretty dense, and drying them with the hair dryer lets you get layers a lot LOT faster. It's actually that demo that got me to check out this site. Now I am hooked (best airbrush forum on the web IMO).

I'm an airbrushist. Nuff said.

also watch out when spraying...... if you go to heavy you will fish eye your work.... that is it (the candie) will seperate its colour and you end up with what looks like water drops have dried on your work..... light layers r the key..... and the more layers the ''deeper'' the effect...
hope that helps
