I was sure I snapped some pics of progress but it seems they are not on my camera. A little recap on what I did. Laid down the pure red with a fine coat so it was a pinky red mixed purple and did the folds in the cape and slowly added some black to it for the deepest parts.
Then applied a few glazes with pure red and worked up to a full pure orange glaze, Once happy with the reds went back and touched up the black/purple and to bring it all together used a 50/50 water and red ink to get the red to pop.
it would have been good to get the before and after the ink i will make sure I get it next time.
I think I will push the lights even further this time with a tiny bit of white on the ridges and edges.
Yeah! Super high contrast. I'm trying it out on my gobo as I force myself to get over my high contrast phobia. That red is super saturated. Nice work (good photo too)!
