Another enjoyable video. Thank you again for continuing to make and share these. In this video you used both oil paints and Pan Pastels. I haven’t tried them and keep trying to visualize their use compared to oil paint washes or dry brushing.
The pastels sort of work a little bit like both. The pastels tend to stick more to elevated details like a dry brush when you are applying them gently with a soft brush. On more even surfaces they create a thin layer like a wash if you apply them that way. To get them into recessed details you need to push them in with a slightly stiffer brush. But don't try to spread them around that way. They can apply as pretty solid color when you try to move them arround with too much pressure.
Not really. I try to only hold the car at the edges or the couplers and wash my hands before starting to work on it. The sessions also tend to last a while and then I get pretty sweaty hands under the gloves, so I'd rather inspect the car before sealing and make corrections if needed. So far I don't remember any instances where that was necessary. 🤞
