Well I did have time to play a little this weekend after we got back from Chattanooga. I'm trying to learn more about air brushing, especially creating Universe style images. The design of the piece could be better but I was trying to put all I learned in one image and that's never good. Played some more with the irridescent paint (the violet) Used white as a base under the other galaxies which makes the colors brighter. In fact I toned them down with transparent black which was something else I played with. Of course making the planet was new. That will take some more experimenting. Air brush paints dry too fast to do what the guys do with spray paints. Gonna try mixing in a little flow extender next time. Also tried a new finish that I'm not sure I like but at least it's compatible with all the paints. It's a spray on lacquer. Just a little too glossy for my taste. I"ll try buffing it out after it's had a chance to cure all week.
