General Directions:  Begin with properly cleaned and fired 06 bisque.  Thin down White and apply over entire piece to get into all detail.  When dry, apply another coat of undiluted White.  Allow to dry.  Apply Hyacinth Blue in small areas wiping back details until entire piece is covered.  Dampen a soft cloth with Solvent to wipe back further highlights.  Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL.  Reminder:  In this technique, sometimes more than one coat of translucent is necessary so between each coat, the color must be sprayed to protect the first layer.

Truck

  1. Apply Golden twinkle to entire body and bed of truck avoiding windows.  Spray.  Apply a second coat to bed.  Tap same brush into Black translucent and wipe out on paper, with this dark mixture tap in some depth/ dirty areas in bed.  Spray.
  2. Use Black translucent for the under body, tires, grill and bumper; spray.  Apply 2-3 coats of Tangelo to body of truck.  The color should not be bright…this is an old truck that has put in some good time.
  3. Drybrush windows with Light Gray then highlight with White.  Drybrush ‘chrome’ with Shimmering Silver.  Detail lights with White, Golden Ochre and Christmas Red

Tractor

  1. Apply Black translucent to wheels, engine and working areas of vehicle; lightly wipe back highlights, spray.  Use Black Forest for engine cover and seat, 2 coats may be needed.  Again this tractor is old and worn, nothing should be very bright.  Spray.
  2. Drybrush engine and working areas with Sculptured Bronze then randomly drybrush with Shimmering Silver and Glorious Gold.  Use these same colors for the grill.
  3. Lightly drybrush engine cover and seat with Forest Green then tip into Golden Ochre to very lightly highlight.  Stipple Forest Green on rims of large wheels.  Spray.

Hay Bales

  1. Apply Golden Twinkle then wipe highlights; spray.  Apply a second coat; spray.
  2. Lightly drybrush with Golden Ochre then tip into Ivory Tusk to highlight.  Tip into White to further highlight.
