It's always great to have you stop by and share your thoughts.<br /><br /><br />Tim, yep, it's nice to finally be settled.... well, almost settled.<br /><br />how do I paint dust? Use dust colored paint of course! =0) OK, maybe that's not the way. Just keep the detail of the object to a minimum. Keep the values close, and let the painting dry when you have it close. Put a tiny bit of paint on your brush, wipe it off, and scumble the dust on top of your painting. Scumbling the effect on in small amounts will keep you from overdoing it and save you a lot of repainting time in the end. You may need to go in and add back in some of the details that get obliterated in the process. Howard Terpning is a master of this. I study his paintings to see how he does it.<br /><br /><br />Talk to you soon, S.Steve Atkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238596474458304238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982807272361712696.post-7407637163181041262010-07-04T09:31:21.899-05:002010-07-04T09:31:21.899-05:00Steve,

Is it a light version of the background with a transparent dust color on top? I don't want you to give away any secrets but have tried to create dust and wasn't as successful as you.<br /> Great painting as usual.<br /> Tim FitzTim Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560372964672506353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982807272361712696.post-60979244806334871062010-07-03T05:49:18.638-05:002010-07-03T05:49:18.638-05:00Lovely, as usual, Steve.
