Thank you! I enjoy it!

I’ve just found your channel and love your professionalism and teaching. I’ve been airbrushing for a long time and use the safety net of opaques. I’m starting a very detailed rose that has very small peach and orange blends. I love this video and I think it’s the best I’ve ever seen on precision blends that have different color shifts . I appreciate it so much, thanks for posting 👍👍👍

This is a terrific tutorial Trevor, as I have stayed away from scenery due to this problem, I have never faded colors into each other. Now I know how to do it. Thank You.

Great vid. Nice tip on using transparant base with opaque colors, instead of only using reducer. I'm used to adding transparant base with candy colors but definitely will give it a try when blending with opaque colors next time.

Thank you for the great video! I’m hoping you can help me with a question. I want to create a similar effect for the background of a painting on a large canvas. Do you think I could achieve this with a paint sprayer? Like Wagner? Using the thinning/transparent mediums and all? Thanks.

I don't see why not, but before I put my foot in my mouth... I will say I have absolutely no experience with the type of home paint sprayer you're talking about. I know you can do the same thing with automotive spray guns because I've done it for years. The limiting factor with a house sprayer will ultimately be how well it atomizes the paint. Good atomization will produce excellent fades. Poor atomization will produce a lot of dot texture.

I cannot get enough of your videos and the knowledge you share, thank you! Maybe I am jumping to advanced techniques too quickly but how do you blend circular or oval patterns? And one step further - how do you do it with candies? 😊 With a skyline the strokes are linear and you can move left to right off the canvas... Let’s say you have a bright oval in the middle of the canvas and that fades out to black at the edge of the canvas going through a red or orange gradient. What type of strokes do you use to avoid overlapping certain areas? I hope my question makes sense...

Hey Heinrich! The process I use in the video is the same for circular or oval blends. You would just need to change your strokes to match the shape you're trying to blend out (or blend into). So, rather than using horizontal or linear strokes, use a circular, or oval shaped pattern while spraying. Remember to aim your brush in the direction you want the overspray to go (which helps create the blend and keeps the opposite side clean) and angle your brush at around a 45 degree angle for a smooth blend. Hopefully that makes sense. I have a video planned for the future that will demonstrate all of this as well. Thanks again for the kind words my friend!

Wicked Art Airbrush Studio The more I watch, the more I need to practice, LOL. I think what causes trouble for me is that with an oval shape or circle, I might be trying to get a blend too quickly. Going around in circles you basically end up where you started 😂 So I will have heavier paint at the starting point.... But I am going back to trying with thinner layers. Thank you!

@@heinrichhelmbold419 Forcing yourself to slow down does help in some instances. Also remember to work the blend out in the direction you want the blend to go. You don't want to remain in one spot for a blend most of the time. Does that make sense?

Hey Trevor, nice video and info. I have to ask, did you put the cross opening back in the trees ? I think it is what made the reference photo special with the flag and cross with the light blue sky showing through it..

Hey Mike! I apologize for the late reply my friend. The cross was part of the original photo the client provided. And yes, the cross was included in the finished painting as well. This was a very special picture to the client for the same reasons you mentioned!

Thanks for the very informative video! Does angling the airbrush up cause any problems with paint getting down on the needle packaging screw?

@wickedartstudio

If the needle packing screw is adjusted properly, no. There's nothing wrong with paint coming into contact with the front of the needle packing screw. In fact, there's no way to prevent that in most airbrushes. If paint is working its way through the needle packing screw and into the back of the brush it needs to be tightened. It takes very little movement to tighten the packing screw. It's easy to go too far. You want a slight drag on the needle when it's inserted through the packing screw. Unless you remove the needle packing screw during a deep clean, you'll likely never have to mess with it.

Hey Trevor! I am just starting to experiment with candy paints, and blending them seems a lot different that standard paints because of their transparency. Would love to see a video on the subject. However my main question is how to achieve a "flesh" color with candy... Yellow with pink/brown is my initial thought...

@wickedartstudio

Hi Brian. First off, you can't mix a flesh tone color using only candies. You can use candies as a very light wash to tint a flesh tone after the base has been applied. As far as blending candies goes, can I get a little more information to help me answer your question better? What are you trying to blend and what base (solid color, metallic, pearl, etc.) are you working over?

@@wickedartstudio Thanks for reaching out. I am not the actual artist, just his mouth-piece as he doesn't use social media. His medium of choice right now is foam boards, both black and white, from the dollar store. He mainly does superheros, supernatural stuff, and graffiti style art. Using candy is new to him and there is so much info out there with contradicting statements it is a bit overwhelming. He bought the Candy2o master set with the 12 main colors, but trying to mix them for more specific colors is tough for him.

@@BrianTelleraineCarson Okay... Candies aren't necessarily used for mixing colors or general artwork. They can be, but there's a little more to it when they're used that way. I have two videos that cover a lot of information pertaining to candy2o specifically. You can find part 1 here kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKCsy5afZpeWnqQ.html Part 1 covers the difference between a true dye based candy and a pigment based candy. I talk about mixing the candy2o in order to spray it through an airbrush and demonstrate why I don't normally like to bury a black and white image under candy. You can find part 2 here kzread.info/dash/bejne/gX-MrtZvhtTaitY.html In part 2 I paint the same image using nothing but candy2o. The base coat is the big difference here. Using a metallic, pearl or some other specialized coating under the candy makes a huge difference in the end. Hopefully those videos will answer a lot of his questions and you've given me a good idea for another candy2o video. I'll try to get the new video up in the next few weeks. If you have other questions don't hesitate to ask.

Great video. Do you have a video on cutting out the template for things like the flag in this video? What material is the template made from?

@wickedartstudio

There are a couple of different ways you can do this. Most of the time I prefer to use a computer cut mask as shown in this video. I prefer to use FBS or Sharpline vinyl for my computer cut masks depending on what I'm doing and/or working on. FBS is a thinner material and it's somewhat translucent. Sharpline vinyl is thicker, and you cannot see through it. I have a pair of videos that focuses more on registering multiple computer cut vinyl masks; however, you can also see how the design is laid out in the software, cut out on the plotter and how the excess vinyl is weeded out before applying the transfer tape. You can find part 1 here kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2GH2NumfdPLmco.html and part 2 here kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3iow9mCndDShbw.html Another option is hand cutting your paint masks which is covered here kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKqsmqNrYtbUfpc.html Obviously, hand cutting a mask requires more time and patience. There's also the potential of cutting through the mask and into the surface of the canvas which will create problems. It is a viable alternative if you don't have a vinyl plotter available though.

@wickedartstudio thanks for the idea. I am interested in your recommendation on a vinyl plotter. I have a laser engraver but would rather not burn vinyls. On a second question, what are your thoughts on painting on wood?

@wickedartstudio

@@mikel6815 I'm not sure a laser engraver will work for cutting vinyl without cutting through the backing sheet at the same time. I have no experience with that kind of technology either, so I could be completely wrong. Choosing a vinyl plotter comes down to your budget, how often you plan to use it and how big you plan to cut masks. There are a lot of options out there. The one that I've used for the last 20 years or so has been a Graphtec CE6000 Plus. It has worked flawlessly for as long as I've owned it, and I would highly recommend any of the Graphtec machines based on that experience. There are less expensive hobbyist machines available as well, but I have no experience with any of those. Aside from soaking up paint, painting on wood is really no different than painting on any other hard surface. You may need to seal the surface beforehand in order to keep your paint from soaking into the wood. Other than that, I don't do anything different when painting on a wood surface. This project was airbrushed on a wood table top kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqapm7WcY7a-lZM.html

@Cariiboo try reducing your paint more, and lowering the air pressure

@wickedartstudio

4 жыл бұрын

As Quinn already mentioned, lower air pressure will create less overspray. When you lower your air pressure you will most likely need to reduce your paint a little more as well in order for it to spray correctly. As far as keeping the sharp black edge cleaner, point your airbrush away from the edge you wish to keep clean. That will prevent building color heavily in that area. Does that make sense?
