[Archive] painting grass

furrie:

Does anybody know if you can paint static grass (using the one from GW) and if so how can I do it?

nitroglysarine:

you can (i’ve given it a go)

Keep the paint watery, if its to thick it’ll clump and make it look like bad eyeliner. - but a nice effect for a swamp

To then give it a two tone colouring, simply dry brush with a soft brush, and keep the amount of paint low, very low, otherwise it’ll clump.

Hope that helps.

You can also use spray at a distance to simply darken the grass.

that guy:

I may have to try that,I never even considered it because I just assumed it would make everything stick together and look bad.Yay for Nitro and his pioneering spirit.

nitroglysarine:

You can also, if you have some spare and want to make matted fur, use it then spray it and make it clump, walla - short fur.
Did it on some old skool Hounds of Khorne to cover the gaping seams before I discovered the wonders of GS.
