Yep that is it LOLwhy do these sorts of questions always come up when i'm at work and not in the shed where i can do test sprays of the createx....
oh thats right, you folks are all late in your day while i'm still in the middle of mine
Cherry red is Transparent so it take time to build it to red.
Scarlet Red will go on red straight out the bottle but when reduced it build to red slower
Carmine take forever to build to a red LOL
Pearl red due to the pearl will look more on the pink side.
Thank you for the detailed explanation mista, I am in the process in using Carmine Red trying to build it up I have 4 passes right now and it looks super pink! (it actually has to dry before I can lay another coat) I wonder if using the transparent base makes it look even more pink than usual (as this is a big must to my process) I will have pics for all a bit later
FWIW... I'm trying to come up with some colors for brush application ( wanted to ask the question to all when I figure that out - how to start a thread ). Anyway, I brushed on Createx Colors Transparent Deep Red 5124, on bare wood and it IS opaque red. Don't know how it would do in an airbrush... but just played with it and it's definitely red.
(you will see in my experiments what I have done) I get that the transparent thing is turning it pink I see it in mitch's color wheel I just wish I could get a blood red transparent without fudging it with yellow, well I kinda think I just have to keep doing what I am doing. stay tuned to behold the beautiful Undaby using a transparent base you have now effectively 'spread the paint' even thinner, so your background is now more obvious.
What exactly are you painting on Sammi, and what sort of effect are you aiming for , it might help suggest ways to resolve your problems
That is called Blood Red Candy2o LOL(you will see in my experiments what I have done) I get that the transparent thing is turning it pink I see it in mitch's color wheel I just wish I could get a blood red transparent without fudging it with yellow, well I kinda think I just have to keep doing what I am doing. stay tuned to behold the beautiful Unda
That is called Blood Red Candy2o LOL
But why are you fudging it with yellow and not green which is the opposite color on the wheel?
See it is true great twisted minds think a likeCandy 2.0 was going to be my next suggestion too. . .
scary but true !See it is true great twisted minds think a like
To me you people really aren't that twisted at all, fake news people!scary but true !
Ok, you've stated you 'need' transparent base, but if you are working on the art pad then you could use reducer instead, then lower the PSI accordingly.
I'll do some experimenting on the weekend, (only 36 hours away for me) and try and show you the difference between trans base and reducer.
What PSI are you running and what brush Sam ?
