    What is Coach Painting ?

    • @Joby.Carter
      @Joby.Carter День назад

      @howard977 Coach Painting is a traditional way of painting a large surface area such as a vehicle for example with a brush by hand, rather than airbrushing/spraying said vehicle. You can read about more about Coach Paining on my website: jobycarter.com/courses/coach-painting-and-preparation/

      Hiya, I use Craftmaster Paints mainly. They do a range of Signwriting Paint and Coachpaint. However if using one of my pre-prepared boards that are available from my website in various colours, I just paint right on to either the shiny or matt side depending on what I am painting.

      @@Joby.Carter Thanks for the reply. Odd that you didn't mention that in the title nor in the video itself... I'm an accomplished signwriter and airbrush artist so, without trying to sound like I know it all, I don't, there's nothing I really need regards shadows. I usually try to adjust the spacing to ensure shadows don't run into adjacent letters, that and ensuring the shadow depth is not so great as to butt up to neighbouring letters helps in most cases. A basic understanding of perspective and vanishing points is key and easily learned. Lots of practice... I'll look forward to your more in depth video
