It's selfish because I had completely lost track of this information so when I needed to use it I was back to square one and not having a clue how to use the materials I had acquired.
The free info is how to make some awesome mini/terrain washes. The details can be located at a couple of different places, but if you don't save/print them you can be totally lost when the time comes.....much like I was.
These washes were for sale and then they weren't and then maybe they were, but the links I checked were no good....
WASH RECIPE:
You will need:
- Distilled Water (grocery store)
- Liquitex Matte Medium
- Liquitex Flow-Aid Fluid Additive
- Plastic Squeeze Bottle
- Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Water-Resistant Artist's Ink
- Large Plastic Squeeze Filler Bottles
- Recipe notebook so you can write down custom mixes
- All recipes use 1 oz bottles. Adjust to whatever size you decide to go with.
Preparation:
- Fill 1 filler bottle with Matte Medium, the other with a 10:1 Distilled Water and Flow Aid.
- Fill the 1oz Dropper Bottle half way with Matte Medium then fill the rest of the way with the Water/Flow Aid mix leaving a little room for the ink drops so you dont over flow.
- Every bottle uses this combination to start with.
- Shake inks well before adding them to the mix.
