Killer Kan II – The Experiment Continues.

I made progress this weekend on the "white" Kan. I feel like I’m closer to what I’m looking for on the worn, white panels but not there yet. I think I need to tint it with the   pastels/pigments. I’m not sure why I’m hesitant to just do a wash.  I think it might be that I know I can remove all of the pigments powder without affecting the paint underneath if I don’t like the results, then start over. A wash would be harder to recover from.

I’m hoping for a popup laundry basket for Christmas this year. Why? For taking photos in. When shooting WIP’s, the lighting (for photography) is garishly harsh and can change things when it hits the "film". The rivets, which photograph as white "points" across the model are in fact a metallic and the whites of the model still come off as too bright in comparison to real life. The shine from the washes and inks are also amplified. This little laundry "box" makes for a nice, stowable, soft box to help diffuse the bright painting lights.

If I don’t get one, I’ll just finally buy one. Oh well. Cheers everyone!
