David Duckett | 07-Aug-18 09:01 | Liquitex acrylics are very translucent. The color on the right is pure Cadmium Red Medium Hue and if used by itself would require many coats. The color on the left is that color mixed with light gray which adds an opaqueness to the red. This covers in two coats and the red then got three coats. Adding light gray does this to most colors. |
Don C | 07-Aug-18 09:20 | Good information. Would have made painting the A-26 much quicker. You are absolutely correct that by itself Cadmium Red Medium takes many coats. :) |
kenm94591 | 07-Aug-18 13:36 | For some reason I did not think you masked the curves and wondering how you do the masking. BTW it is beautiful and thanks for another tip on painting. |
David Duckett | 07-Aug-18 15:20 | Thanks. About 95% of the red and all of the black were masked. |
