Erwin Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Not saying that this is THE way to paint a prop,but It's how I do it. First paint the prop any shade of brown you like the most. After drying a day,I will add a coat of brown varnish that is used for painting woodwork in houses. But that's a picture for later. Feel free to comment. Edited April 18, 2013 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to comment. Hi Erwin That`s a good base color , but instead of using brown house paint .Use artist oils . I like raw umber and burnt seianna for my props . I like some props in dark colors ,but you can lighten up some of the wood also . Willi Edited April 18, 2013 by miamiangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiangler Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Whoa!! Willi,that propellor belies the fact that its been painted and looks SO real...the wood effect is amazing....... What I did is before painting the base color .I sanded the prop with some course sand paper . That way you get some grain effect . I made the masks out of blue tape .
