Painting Bright Yellows Quick With The Airbrush

jack of clubs painting new year new armyWyatt from Jack of Clubs Painting is bringing us a quick new tutorial on how he uses the airbrush for bright yellows, so we can do the same.

Wyatt has done a few of these quick take videos in the past, but this time around he is giving us the down and dirty on his yellows. Luckily, Wyatt has tons of experience with yellows and just painting in general. With this in mind, let’s check out how he does it!

For this model, he uses entirely Army Painter Warpaints.

After that dries use Phoenix Flames to do a simple high-angle highlight. Follow that up with some Babe Blonde to do an even more concentrated highlight.
