Golden shiners

[Squeakyboatcaptain]

I decided to paint up a few tonight... had a few minutes while the kiddos were in the bath.... probably go do a few more after they head off to bed.




I used white pearl as a base, then tapped gold on the top and bottom, then a little accent of black for the top again.....
Looks like a New Orleans Saints bait if I ever saw one!! WHO DAT!!

I did a few more with a custom chartreuse pumpkinseed and watermelon flake for the accent.... I really like these!!

NICE Cap'n!!:icon14::icon14:

Really nice! :icon14: I love multiple colors, edging around the lateral line.

Can I ask what tool you use to tap/sprinkle the second color upon the first one? I use a tea seeve for that, which works fine with some powders but I find it much too coarse for some of the others.

These are some of the ones I use

and I also get the big packs of cheap plastic handled ones kids use for water colors, just mash them in a circular pattern on a hard surface to loosen them up. For the larger headed make up brushs dip them in the powder and tap a bunch back into the jar they hold A LOT!!! You can always add more but it's hard to take it off.

Nice job!

I use a small brush for the tapping.... just got an airbrush today.... so...Hopefully I can get it figured out and use it instead.

I've thought about one - but you could check with Smalljaw as he does a bunch of stuff with a powder gun.
