If you look up his WIP thread he has many examples. Also several people highly recommend vallejo Ivory for a staple of painting white as it thins very well without ever getting chalky.Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-13644086342388806332014-04-26T01:03:52.465+08:002014-04-26T01:03:52.465+08:00Thanks Zab ... these are very helpful articles. ^_...Thanks Zab ... these are very helpful articles. ^_^ <br /><br />I am trying to find an approach that does not make the chalkiness of white or light flesh colours too apparent. With white, I think I can safely rule out a glaze approach/method. It will be fun to try and to be able to one day pull off sheer white fabric would be awesome. :)FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-62185484411730323072014-04-25T22:46:26.154+08:002014-04-25T22:46:26.154+08:00Here are a few articles to help you out:

I hate to spoil the wonderful sculpture by doing a bad job painting it so I am running various approaches in my head to see how I can successful tackle this project ... especially the sheer facric on Le Petit. The problem with painting sheer fabric is that it is already difficult when you want to do it with colours such as green or blue.
