About product

Gold with not a grain of metal in it

Painted metal is a figure painting discipline built on a simple idea: shine is not a property of the material but an image of the surroundings on its surface. Anyone who can create a hard transition between an almost white peak and the dark bottom of a fold will suggest polished jewelry with completely matte paint. The advantage is that such a surface looks convincing from every angle and does not go dead under photographic light.

Why exactly these tones

The line-up consists of ivory as the lightest point, three yellow tones graded from cool to sandy, and two dark colors, purple and deep red, meant for the shadows. It is those two that decide the result: if the yellow were shaded with plain black, the outcome would go gray and look more like brass dug out of the ground. Purple, on the other hand, supports the yellow by complementary contrast and the deep red adds warmth.

The procedure in brief

You start with a medium yellow base, then work out where the light falls from. The shadows are glazed with the dark tones in several thin coats, toward the edge you move to the light ones, and at the very end the sharp edge is picked out with a thin line of ivory.

What to work with

The quality of the transition depends more on thinning than on the brush: the paint should be thinned on the palette into a glaze and applied several times over until the boundary disappears. A wet palette helps, because acrylic dries quickly on a small area. The shades can also be used outside this technique, for example on vehicle markings. Brushes and figures are not part of what is offered.
