As you know I have been learning how to use Createx Illustration Paint and wanted to give an update. I have found this paint to be a plus to my arsenal at this point. It is a vary finicky paint, but when it is used properly you can do some awesome work.
I have found that if you use it according to the buffing method the paint work as intended. You need to mix in the whites and blacks to keep the paint flowing properly. I have had issues with spitting little blobs of paint on occasion. Today I found that with mixing the flesh tone and adding the white in a mixing cup and then placing two drops of W500 in my cup and then adding 6 drops of my custom buffed color the paint flowed perfectly. Once I went back to straight color and W500 the paint spit again. Once I went back to the buffed color and W500 it was okay again. Like I said finicky. I love the way it is erasing with soft and hard erasing techniques. I just can't let myself get lazy.
I was using it with my Micron SB at 5 psi and constantly checking the needle tip for dried paint. I believe I am adapting to this new paint after two weeks of trial and error. I will be posting the picture of Penny when it is complete and actually this time it is even more accurate than the first two attempts.
Thanks for bearing with me on this one.
