About the Project
Hello gonna try and stick to one project. Last year some time or maybe longer I had an idea to paint my moonstone using only red,blue,yellow,black and white to mix my own paints. The fun bit is I struggle with greens browns and reds due to poor colour vision so lots of thi gs may end up various shades of brown. Starting with the friar I got as far as painting his skin before seeing something shiny and they have been sitting undercoated ever since. Hopefully I can use the time left in the challenge to get a colourful troupe on the table in time for the campaign that is starting at the local club.

Things to try on the next model
I kind of think I need to work out how to make a wash using the paint I have chosen.
It would be very useful to add some shading around all the small details on the models.
I tried watering down black which worked whilst wet but dried very matt and stained all the parts underneath not just the recesses.
I may try using lahmian medium rather than water next time to see if that works.
I also need to make sure I was the resin more thoroughly as some parts luckily in hard to see places still had a release agent on it so had a difficult time getting paint to take hold.
But lesson learned nothing a good scrub with some one else’s tooth brush and some washing up liquid won’t cure.
This dude is ready for a game
Turns out mixing colours is more complicated than it looks.
Saying that I’m pleased with how he turned out.
Forgot I was going to have to deal with metal parts so decided to go with a grey blue mix that is then dry brushed up to white. This looked OK until I gave the model a coat of matt varnish so went back in with satin varnish over the chain male and other metal parts.
Skin is also a lot harder to mix from primary colours than I thought, my first attempt the first time around was very very pink so I had to have some help from Rhi to get a more sensible flesh tone.
My last attempt
This is as far as I got with the project, let's see how far I get this timeThe paints of doom and other stuff
Went with these paints as they are full of pigment and mix well on a wet pallet without splitting
Super cheap cour wheel from amazon to point me I the right direction Making a wet pallet
To keep the paints nice and fresh thought I would give a wet pallet a go. So liberated a food tub and some kitchen roll and baking parchment from the kitchen 
Cut the paper towel to fit the lid then add water but not to much or your paint will spread all over the place
Pop the baking parchment on top I went with shiny side down not sure if that's the best way but works for me
Pop the lid on and store in a cool dark place to keep it all nice and fresh for the next painting session
