Now, moving on to the "meat" of the post, I have a picture to show.
I tried out a new way to paint yellow a couple of weeks back and I found that it was far easier to do than the previous yellow method I was using (you can see the results here). Instead, I did the following:
- Averland Sunset basecoat (multiple thin layers to build up a nice smooth layer);
- Seraphim Sepia wash in the recesses (clean up any overspill with Averland Sunset);
- Yriel Yellow glaze over the armour (I glazed the armour a couple of times to get an even result and to properly alter the colour of the basecoat);
- Seraphim Sepia wash in the recesses (to get a nice contrast);
- Yriel Yellow highlight (this makes for quite a subdued highlight on pictures, but actually stands out more when seen with human eyes);
- Lamenters Yellow glaze (to give the yellow a slightly warmer tone and really make it pop);
- Yriel Yellow highlight (the glaze may have subdued the highlights a bit too much, so I would go over the most prominent edges with another highlight).
