Wet Blending

[dougaderly]

Does anybody know of a video out there that shows someone demonstrating wet blending? i\'ve read the tutorials, but I think actually seeing someone do it would help tremendously, and I\'ve pretty much discovered I\'m the only CMON\'er here in Boston, so I\'m having no luck finding a person around here to observe. Also, having two very young children, I\'m too damn cheap to buy any of the videos out there that may show it, so does anyone know a free resource that would show this?

The danish painter Rune Kappel have made a miniature painting cd. There\'s lots of painting videos in it, so I guess there\'s a sample on wet blending. Look here for further information: http://www.kaple.dk/v2/index.php?nav=mpcd

have you tried the articles section here (and at several other good mini painting sites). I don\'t know of a video, but there are lots of step-by-steps.

Thin paints. Work quick.
Some use a second brush of water/goop/magic wash to help in retarding and blending.

Yeah, I\'ve read the article, I just wanted to have the opportunity to see it in action, hoping to get that \"ooooooh\" moment. Figured I\'d speed the breakthrough along.

Download kaple demo. It lists all of the articles on the disk.

Doug, your post says you are in Boston,

There has to be a Con nearby. Sign up for a painting class.

There are a couple of Reaper Black Lightnings near you that might be able to steer you in the right direction.
