North Africa dio stage 4 pics
hi all for those of you who are following this iam now on stage four, in these next few stages i will be dealing with water in the oasis, so the products iam using are XF18 medium blue, XF59 desert yellow, XF52 flat earth and scenic water which is esentially a self leveling resign.
Step 1: i have mixed up flat earth medium blue and a little desert yellow and using my
airbrush sprayed the bottom of the oasis, my plan here is to create depth in the water.Now in planning this i have asked people what there idea of an oasis is and most have said clear clean blue water in the desert, the truth is very much different in is slightly bluer in colour but murky at the same time so this is what iam trying to emulate.
Step 2: i have allowed the paint to dry for 3 hours and i have now added my first level of the water, i have allowed 24 hours drying time for this.
Step 3: At the moment i can't do any more to the water until it dries so i have added more vegitation using macramy wool.
The next stage will be spraying the water a light covering of light blue then adding a further layer to produce depth actual as well as simulated, What i will also need todo is trim the vegitationto differing heights to give a more random look.
hope you keep watching.
scott
