Hi, i was wondering if i should apply a weathering wash to my models (painted with acrylic) with acrylic or pastel chalk or something else. I use a brush not an airbrush. Thanks

Diluted washes, tinted laquer and dry brush techniques can all work well with practice.

Yep

You can just dilute your acrylics and do a very thin was over the top. Washes, drybrushing and inks work very well with my Games Workshop Mini's and that of from Forge World aswell. (Resin models)

MIG pigments are fantastic for producing filters and washes....

Hi mate, I recommend that you begin to make soiled, you use pastels, when you have already gained some experience you will see that the subject of cakes you will being small, and then with a little practice the best technique for washing soiled and or aging of surfaces are oil paintings, that if, never use oil painting without a good solvent, in my case I use Humbrol only for the oils, as if varnished or painted with a solvent, you should never use the same to work with oils, the result would be catastrophic ...

I hope it will help you and that and soon mastered the techniques of the oils .. By the way, the oils also can be used for poster ...

Thanks for all the replies. However, i noticed that when i use an acrylic wash, the painted model surface somtimes rejects it and the wash ends up looking like a dirty water stain. For pastel chalk powder washes, i am afraid that it is gonna wear off quickly after it dries. Will brushing on a clear coat with a brush work on a pastel wash or would it rub the weathering off? Thanks guys
