Thanks, Todd. I use what are called Artist Pigments. They are like the weathering powders sold by Vallejo, Bragdon, Doc O'Brien, and AK. But I use Gamblin Artist's Grade Pigments ordered from Blick Art Supplies. Way less expensive.
Todd, I learned about artist pigments from Al Judy, he uses them a lot, and so do I now. They are similar, and yet quite different from Pan Pastels. I learned a lot about Pans from Kris Blackmarr. He's an artist and modeler and knows all about Pan Pastels and soft pastels. They both are pigment in a binder, just as chalks are. Their difference is the binder, chalks are hard, andPan Pastels are softer. The binder is what helps Pan Pastels hold onto an item once applied. Artist Pigments are the actual pigments used with no binder. You may have seen them sold by Vallejo, Bragdon, Doc O'Brien, and AK as weathering powders. I get them from Blick's Artist Supplies at 1/4 the price of the hobby powders. I use Pan Pastels as well, especially on rail equipment where I deal with smoother styrene instead of rougher wood where the artist pigments will hold well.
Nice job Greg.
Thank you so much, Gary.
Another helpful video, nice work as usual, Greg. Thanks! - Paul
Thanks so much, Paul. That's my goal, if I can't be handsome, I can be helpful. 😄
Incredible job, Greg!
Thanks, buddy.
Very nice Greg, you mentioned pigments. What type are they? Thanks.

@@CassidysWorkshop thanks Greg. How do they compare to pan pastels?
