tips on painting natural gas flame?

[heirodule]

Anyone have any tips on painting flames to look like natural gas (and look good, not lame)?

Take a GW witch hunter mini as a default assumption of the size of the fire.

The bast advice I can give you is to just look at gas flames, either that or do a \'Google image search.\' That should give you a fair idea. Natural gas often has a blue base through to a yellow flame. That would be a sod to pull off. I\'ve always just gone for yellow/orange flames

After that there\'s alot of info on OSL.

don\'t forget, it will be at its brightest at the centre

There\'s some fantastic images when you google \"natural gas flame\" and you should be able to find one to emulate. I think you would do well having white (or maybe P3 Underbelly Blue) in the deepest cracks at the base, and then blend up through a vibrant blue into dark blue and finally a hint of really dark purple or red at the tips where the flame is cooling off the most.

The blue-yellow transition probably isn\'t necessary. It would also be extremely tough to pull off as these other guys have hinted

Looking at that image I\'d suggest starting with VMC Andrea Blue moving into White, then Yellow, Light Orange. Mixing and blending as carefully and smoothly as possible.

Underpaint in pure white. Makes the colors \'pop\'.
