Intelligence and talent are wonderful together. Couple ths with your relaxed presentation and it makes for beautiful videos. I have to smile at the reactions to painting with a brush. So quickly the techniques of the old masters become lost in time. Simply wonderful! Oh wait I already said that.😊

This is stunning-not at all what I was expecting. I almost never leave comments…but this is by far the most “alive” and natural paint job I’ve seen on KZread. It’s a whole different level of art. Just beautiful. Please do more like this!!!

Wow thank you Mark for such an amazing compliment! That really warms my heart! 🙏😊

Thanks for this excellent video! Best one I've seen! I actually accidentally caught a nice old Rattle Trap lure the other day and want to sand it and repaint it and put new hooks on it!!! I've never painted much before and I am far from being an artist, but I do think I can do this!! A nice white base coat is a great idea after I sand the lure first!!! Thanks again dude!!

@@lureblanks will definitely keep that in mind! Tight lines. 🤙

The uneven surface that is left by brush strokes is actual something i sometimes do on purpose. The reason is that when i am casting a crankbait im trying to recreate a natural presentaion to mimic a feeder fish that was dropped by an unlucky bird of prey. So the uneven surface can kind of mimic the damage to the skin that may have been caused by the bird's talons.

Hello! When I use Alclad II chrom or holomatic the epoxi clearcoat destroy the effect. Is it different when you use shift colors? Do you know a way to coat chrom or holomatic colors with epoxi without destroying the effect?

@lureblanks

8 ай бұрын

Hi! As far as I know this is something that you can not prevent. The same happens with the createx chrome paints and also some other special paints. They lose their effect after clearcoating. It is because clearcoats give paints a wet look and some special effects lose their effect because of that. Vallejo color shift paints do keep their effect and a clearcoat even enhances it a little bit just like with regular metallic and pearl paints 👌

Beautiful work!!

Like all your work, this is superb. To me, it demonstrates your extraordinary talent and skill even better than the "usual" airbrush sessions on the Lureblanks channel. Thank you so much for sharing. Chris P.S. I knew as I watched that this paint job was turning out well, but it's only when you zoomed in at the end that I was truly stunned by its effectiveness. Is there any way that you can rig your camera so that the image of each lure you're painting is closer to the viewer?

Wow thank you Chris, That is an amazing compliment, one of the best any artist can get. Thank you for that and that means a lot to me. That is some great feedback! I can edit more close ups while I am painting, that is not a problem at all. One question, As you know i like to fast forward my painting processes to make the video less boring and not too long. If i make a close up of the application of paint, should it be in normal speed then? So it is clearer what I am doing and how it looks? And then perhaps speed up the rest after that. Let me know you think!

@@lureblanks Believe it or not, I was going to mention the "fast-forwarding," but I had already made one request (the close-up camera) and I didn't want to appear greedy. i don't know how other followers feel (you might ask!), but I'd like ALL your videos to be in normal speed from beginning to end! That way, I would be able to see every detail of your techniques and thereby learn more in order to improve my own work. If you don't feel that's possible or advisable, your plan of different speeds for different stages of the process seems right. Thank you for your reply and, most important, for sharing your skills and experience so openly with us. Chris

I think making videos at variable speeds is the best way of meeting everyone in the middle, you got people who want it to go a little faster and other that want it to go slow. I will do take in account that i make some more close ups in normal speed, showing the application or technique and then speeding up the rest of it as it is the same often. Great to have some feedback on that and i really appreciate that! Thank you, Wannes

Thank you so much! The choice of clear coat depends more on what kind of fish you are after. And depending on what you can get your hands on based on where you live. If you lures are going to see a lot of teeth and rocks and such it always best to go with an epoxy because these are the strongest. If your lures do not get abused a lot by anything sharp you can get away with clear coats used for dipping lures or clear coats in spray cans 👊
