Oil Paints - which and how to use

[Bung]

After the discussion in this thread http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372632-oil-paints/ i am starting this as a collection of oil colors and how to use them and i hope others will contribute too with theor experience

 

The following is list is from scale model artist José Luis López Ruiz published in the german magazine Kit Modellbauschule Teil 8

 

Raw Umber - Winsor & Newton:   general wash, dirt, mud zenital effects (shadow) mix with black for dark and wet mud

Nickel Titan Yellow DP - Rembrand 280: zenital effects (Highlights) bright dust

Lamp Black - Rembrand 702: extreme washes, zenital effecgts (darkest shadows), darken other colors

Asphalt- Titan 80: grease / oil effects and dirt

Titanium White - Rembrand 105: zenital effects (max light), mix to lighten other colors, fading of bright colors

Permanent Red Light - Rembrand 370: fading of rust and used surface, zenital efffect (Highlught) on red and redbrown surfaces 

Naples Yellow Light - Winsor & Newton: brighten sandy colors like modern desert camoflage, dust effects

Sepia - Titan 77: basically like Agrax Earthshade, used for heavy used and worn surfaces 

Cadmium Yelow Light - Rembrand 208: used for warm fading and to lighten surfaces

Permanent Yellowish Green - Titan 65: usefull for cold fading and to lighten surfaces, zenital effects on green vehicles (Highlight)

Olive Green - Abteilung 502: zenital effects on green vehicles

Ultramarine Light - Rembrand 505 usefull for cold fading and dirt (engines / oil), zenital effects (shadow)

Transparent Oxide Brown - Titan 75: fading on used and worn surfaces

Titan Brown - Titan 76: dirt and wet mud, mix with Naples Yellow for Earth-, Mud- and Dust effects

Raw Sienna - Rembrand 234: dirt and dried mud effects, mix with Naples Yellow for Earth-, Mud- and Dust effects

Cinnabar Green Deep - usefull for warm and cold fading, lighten surfaces

Cold Grey - Titan 85 - cold fading

 

This list is for military scale models but i think its still usefull

 

Personly i would add (i use Abteilung 502)

Magenta (for more contrast in Yellow colors)

Blue Grey / Paynes Grey (general usefull)

Shadow Brown it gives a nice grim dark feeling for dirt etc.

Starship Filth, i really love it to dull metall colors

 

 

For a bit more information there is an Abteilung 502 book in different languages that deals with oil colors on military vehicles
