It is alll very well and good producing a 3 x 2 meter painting until you have to take it home on the rush hour tube. Now there is a lesson learnt.
Using the roller method to paint over the Crystal Gel proved a really success. As a means of adding tone and texture, this was really affective. The Crystal gel adds instant depth to a piece once it is painted and also picks up hints of colour well. I used the roller lightly over certain parts, allowing the colour to only lay on the raised bits of gel. Some of the smoother bits of gel, on the bow for example, were a little hard to cover as it tended to resist the paint. However once one coat had been applied and dried then it was easy to build up on top of it.
The Paint Frame was very quiet as the painters were on a research trip to Brighton. The designer for "One Man Two Guvnors" has used internet images in the model box which have then been copied and blown up so are not of the best quality to work from. So the painters have been set the task of re-photographing the buildings and scenes that are used from Brighton.
