Plastic Model Technique Guide 4 “The Original” Painting Technique Practice Edition

Delve into the essence of painting! A thorough explanation of color fundamentals and basics!

We are finally entering the painting technique section. Painting involves applying color using paint, so we start with an explanation of color. As part of this series, we will provide a philosophical and scientific discussion of color itself (covering fundamental concepts and theories), as well as a deep dive into paints, including pigments and dyes, which are often misunderstood. Furthermore, we will cover the foundational knowledge of color mixing, which can be a stumbling block for many modelers, making this a must-read for anyone who has struggled to achieve the desired results from mixing colors (such as issues with muddiness). The content is presented in an easy-to-understand and readable format, using numerous diagrams and illustrations. In the latter half, the original painting techniques will be fully revealed. With this, you too can become an expert in color and painting!
