How do I paint pearl?


Recommended Posts

i have an idea on this, but whether it will work or not i dont know...

 

paint them white, then hardcoat em.... use a new wash, hardcoard it that'll (maybe) give the effect of pearl?

 

the idea behind my theory is you're putting a wash onto an already slipery surface, which will (hopefully) result in an uneven, very thin layer of tinting, then a shiny coat again over the top

 

 

 

sorry if this post is on page number "months old", but i'm crawling the lot to see if theres anything useful for me ^_^

You could get a nice marble/pearl looking finish:

 

Prime white, take some of the mid tone blues, reds and orange and paint little swirls sporadically on the model. Then, go back over it again with a watered down layer of white. The swirled colors underneath will show through but will not be as intense as they would be sitting on the surface.
