- Airbrush Tutorial: Airbrushing with Candy2o Part 1
In part 1 of this series I walk you through one method of incorporating candies in your artwork. I discuss and demonstrate the difference between a true candy and the earlier candies released by Createx under the Auto-Air Colors badge. I walk you through how to mix candies and provide tips for even coverage when spraying candies.

I know how much time and work it takes to make a tutorial of this quality. Thank you very much, very informative and appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for this tutorial series, im actually in the middle of painting a Hulk Bust and ready to go to my Candy stage and came across this video. Perfect timing!!
Glad you found it helpful and I appreciate the kind words!
I've enjoyed all the videos I've seen that you've made. You do some amazing artwork.
I appreciate the kind words, thank you!
New to airbrushing and just ordered the Candy2o kit. You answered a lot of questions I had with this video. New subscriber, so thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you!
This helped solve ALOT of my issues , thanks for a great video!
Thank you!
I dont know you and this is the first of your videos I've seen. I actually watched it after seeing how diligent you are about answering viewer questions etc..you are apparently the right kind of man at hte value level. I commend you.
Hi Bill! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Thank you for making such an informative video with candy2o!
Thank you for providing all of us with fantastic products and for continuously improving those products! It never crossed my mind that those who develop the products I use might be watching one of my videos. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
@@wickedartstudio We're about to release a new clear which is essentially replacing 4030 as the carrier for candy2o as it holds the candy in an even suspension much better, UVLS 4050 Gloss Clear. For a complimentary sample, please email us your mailing address to info@createxcolors.com. Best Regards, Createx
Will do! Thank you so much!
Heck yea man thanks for the tips. I have some of the candy 2o but haven't really used it much yet. I think im gonna give it a go now. Keep up the great videos and take it easy.
Glad to help and inspire you to give it a go! If you have questions feel free to ask.
I just pulled out all my candy paint and now seeing this video I'm going to have to invest in all new system lol.. Thanks for the info it was great to see the difference in the paint.
Thanks! It's always good to know when others find some value in the information I put out!
Excellent tutorial Trevor!
Thank you my friend!
my hats off to you for level of effort you put into this series. truly professional quality. why does candy have to look so good, yet be so infuriating to work with?! it seems like every little mistake is only put on full display. anyway, thanks for the tutorials. subbed for more!
Thank you for the kind words, that is very much appreciated!
The painting was great and your skill is top notch but what sets you apart from the others was I was not fading my attention since that awesome music you used with the great guitar was keeping my attention level high and focused. Great work and video.
Thank you so much!
I really learned alot from this video. I am just learning and have a hard time mixing and reducing. I never used 4030 with my candies.. now that I know how I will
I'm glad my video helped you out! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
That was great, thumbs up and a new sub. Can't wait for the next vid
Thank you for the kind words! Glad to have you here! If you have questions or something you'd like to see please let me know.
Excelente trabalho parabéns 👏👏👏👍😎
Thank you!
Good job dude. Just got my new candy 20 to try. Ain’t used them before. I tend to do black and white first.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words!
Very Cool and highly informative, Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
That's my dream airbrush! I do custom RC bodies and started about 2 years ago with a cheap Master G22 ,then got a Iwata Neo CN and Neo BCN and found out I prefer Gravity, so it hardly ever gets used, then I got a Neo TRN2 and a Revolution,I love both but prefer the TRN2, Well for fathers day my wife got me a Eclipse and it's a great brush as well, but what you got in your hands is what I will have this coming income tax season! Great video, I've been using Spazstix and Pro-Line for Candies, but think now I may give the Auto air a try...
I assume you're referring to the TH since you already have an Eclipse. Yes, the TH is a great tool to have in your arsenal! It comes with a fan tip and a conical tip which makes it a very versatile airbrush!
Thats it,the TH. I love my TRN2 so much mainly for the trigger system. I feel I have better control with the trigger than I do on a typical airbrush, and from the videos I've seen of the TH there's no doubt in my mind that I'm going to love it.
@@Jarhead1313 It is a great tool to have in your arsenal!
That's great to have came across your video... I'm a amateur painter and artist in which I've decided to paint my car. Also, being a beginner should I go out and buy all name brand airbrush equipment from like iwata,etc... But, I'm wanting to do some 70's technics on my mustang, I also wanting to put a mural on my car because of the name I gave it..
The specific brand you choose to purchase is completely up to each individual artist. I definitely recommend sticking to the well known and/or name brands though because quality is an issue when it comes to the knock off airbrushes out there. Lower quality control results in poor performance. You can find more information concerning the products I use and recommend here th-cam.com/video/0jyx4tP9tcQ/w-d-xo.html
Great info ,nice job🇨🇮
Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Trevor, as a beginner I don't think I shall ever use Candys, but I found this informative and interesting
Thank you sir! You might be surprised though... I use candies to create some dramatic effects in a lot of my artwork.
Awesome video thank you so much for sharing
Thank you!
Great Vid, Thank You! So no need to spray bleed checker over wicked colors before you spray candies correct? Only if you are spraying wicked colors over the top of candy,? just making sure I thoroughly understand. Again, Thank You so very much for sharing knowledge with us!!!
Thank you for the compliment! There is no reason to spray Bleed Checker prior to spraying candies over Wicked Colors. The basis for using a candy is to tint or darken a color or colors that have already been sprayed. There's no reason to worry about the candy bleeding into the underlying color for that purpose, you're purposely changing the color with the candy to begin with. Candy bleeding, or leaching, can happen when you spray color over the top of a candy. For example, let's say you've sprayed candy2o Blood Red over an existing Wicked Color in order to tint or darken that underlying color and you plan to come back over the top of the candy with a white to add some highlights. There's a pretty good chance your white will become a pink once you've sprayed it over the candy. What has happened when this occurs is the white paint is reactivating the dye in the candy which allows the color (red in this case) to leach into the white and turn it to a pink. If you spray a couple of light coats of Bleed Checker (straight out of the bottle - do not add reducer) over the Blood Red candy and allow it to dry prior to spraying the white, you are adding a dissimilar material barrier between the candy2o and the white which should prevent the candy from leaching into subsequent layers of paint. Does that make sense?
Very helpful my friend thanks
Thank you!
Great info ... thanks ...
Something else I noted was if you look at the example .. the difference between the pigment and the dye gives a underwater effect ... ill try to remember that for some projects
The underwater effect had never crossed my mind... thanks for sharing!
@@wickedartstudio yeah im doing a under ocean pirate mural ... I started a couple weeks ago ... I stopped cause I wasn't getting the water effect I was wanting ... im absolutely brand new to airbrushing and your videos are awesome.. and that helix eraser is going to be a game changer .... ordering it now
@@deigo2629 I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you've found my videos helpful!
Great video. I just had a paint job ruined because of massive bleed through using Emerald Green Candy2o. Possibly because I was trying to lay a flat block of opaque white over the candy, and the white had about 25% 4030 which I think re-activated the candy coat which also has 4030 in it? Which I had seen the vid a week ago lol ;)
Sorry to hear that, but you are likely correct about 4030 being the issue. Applying a couple coats of bleed checker over the Candy2o next time should solve your issue. Unfortunately, sometimes that's just part of learning. If you only knew all the jobs I've botched over the years due to lack of knowledge or trying to cut corners on a tight deadline. All of those mistakes cost time and money, but we learn from it and move on. You are not alone in that arena my friend!
Hi! Just found your channel, how long have you been air brushing for? I’m kinda new, maybe 5 years now. I paint goalies masks and I’m a goalie myself. I hope to keep practicing. I use wicked and auto Air. You can see some of my paint jobs on my channel.
Welcome! I've been doing this for 27 years. I checked out some of your goalie masks on your channel. Nice work and very clean edges! Keeping masked edges clean with all those contours and sharp edges isn't easy to do. Keep up the good work!
Awesome informative video..
But when you talk about the translucent pigment candy it made me think of the Createx illustration colour line!
Doesnt illustration colours work somewhat in the same way as the pigment candy or/and can you use it as an "candy" for a somewhat similar effect!?
Just an thought from an dagger stroke rookie in learning ;)
I wasn't a big fan when Createx released their pigment-based candy colors under the Auto Air Colors brand because it was confusing for those that were new to using candies. Fortunately, their pigment-based candies are no longer available. The candies they offer under the candy2o brand are actually real candies. The Auto Air Colors brand no longer exists either.
You are correct. Illustration Colors work exactly like a pigment-based candy would because they are both created with pigments. You can achieve an effect similar to using a candy with a translucent pigment-based color by using it as a wash. However, that's where the similarity ends. The problem with using pigment based transparent paint is pigment is not soluble. A light wash works to tint underlying work because it's applied lightly. The pigment doesn't have the opportunity to take over when color is applied very lightly with minimal coats. If you continue adding light washes with a pigment based transparent color, eventually the pigment will take over and you'll begin to lose the clarity of the artwork underneath. It will become hazy or foggy. Pigment, regardless of color, also has a cap. Transparent pigment-based paint will darken with subsequent coats, but it will eventually reach full saturation if enough coats are applied, meaning the color can only achieve a set value or saturation level based on the pigment used to manufacture the color.
In contrast, a true candy color is not pigment based. It is dye based. Dye is soluble. So, you can apply as many coats of a dye-based candy as you like and retain the clarity of the artwork and/or metallic or pearl effects underneath. A dye-based candy will get darker with each subsequent coat as well. The difference is a dye-based candy doesn't have a cap. If enough coats are applied, you can reach a color that almost appears black. That will depend on the value of the color you are using to some degree. For example, a yellow candy will not get as dark as a red candy. You can see that effect without spraying the color too. If you look at a full bottle of a dye-based candy, the color in the bottle appears far darker than it does when you actually spray that particular color. Does that make sense?
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Great vid ! Great channel! Would love to know where you can get those paint racks.
I appreciate the kind words my friend! Unfortunately, my paint racks were custom built. I'm not aware of anything similar that is available for purchase.
@@wickedartstudio Damn! I'm looking all over for racks like that and can't find anything even close. Very nice though.
Hi from Finland! Great video, is Part 2 coming soon? I'm waiting...sir,imwaiting... Still waiting!!! 😁
Have a Great Day!
-Anssi
Part 2 is still in production. I've been incredibly busy lately due to the end of the year holiday season and haven't had the time needed to make my videos. My plan now is to finish Part 2 this week and upload it this coming Saturday to kick off the new year! Thank you for your patience!
Hi Trevor.
Does the fan tip work on other brushes or just the HPTH.
Guy
The fan tip nozzle set on the HP-TH is considerably larger than the nozzles found on the other Iwata airbrushes. So, it only works with the TH.
Do you have to add anything but 4011 to the candys? I paint plastic lures with a white basecoat
Yes. Candy2o is a concentrate and requires a carrier. 4030 Balancing Clear or UVLS Gloss Clear can be used as the carrier. I prefer UVLS.
If you used a green candy with 4030 could you go over it with a yellow candy with 4030 or would they bleed into each other. Would you need to seal the first candy with 4040 as well as the second? Thank you and thanks for your videos they are very well done.
Candy bleed is always a possibility when working with candies; however, I wouldn't be terribly concerned with putting a yellow candy directly over a green candy. Green is a much stronger color compared to yellow. All the yellow candy will do is tint the green to the yellow side, but it may take quite a few coats to see it depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Thank you for the kind words!
Wicked Art Airbrush Studio your quite welcome and thanks for the quick reply!
I've been using Faskolor for about a year and now Pro-Line paints for my polycarbonate Rc bodies but I still can't get a good candy apple red or candy apple green, can these be used for Rc bodies?
I'm not 100 percent sure on that yet, but I have some RC bodies on the way to me as I type (thanks to another viewer). I plan to do a video (or videos) using Createx products on those polycarbonate bodies.
Hi there I have seen a number of your videos... I I really like your channel... I was hoping to ask you where did you get the image of the eye of the hulk...I have tried to look for it but have been unsuccessful...are you able to help me with the image so I can airbrush my own... I would really appreciate it....
Robert
Hey Robert! Thank you for the kind words my friend! Shoot me an email at wickedartstudio@gmail.com and I'll reply with the reference image.
Hello, sorry English is not my first language. I'm new to airbrush and using trident paints. I mix a trident color, transparent base and reducer, is that correct? You said one to one ratio for paint and transparent then 20% reducer. How do I incorporate pearls or glitter? I'm confused when it comes to mixing.
I'm afraid I won't be much help... Not all paint is the same. I use Createx products. I've never used Trident. Although I've heard really good things about their paint, it's very hard to get in the US. My best advice is to find copies of their Technical Data Sheets (TDS) online for the products you are using. The TDS sheets will give the manufacturer recommended mix ratios, dry times, pot life, prep, air pressure setting, etc... That information will get you in the ballpark.
Bad ass work.....
Thank you!
Gonna spray my first skate deck with this any advice would be appreciated
The advice you need should be contained in the video. If you have specific questions let me know.
great video. one question to the candy o2 mixing: createx says max 50% 4030. this would be a candy/ 4030 ratio of 2:1, right? what is the difference to your 1:1 ratio?
Thank you! The Createx recommendations can get confusing. It's not hard to find contradicting information from Createx concerning their own products. I assume the contradictions exist due to the fact they are continuously improving and/or adding new products with the goal of improving existing products. Sometimes the new product recommendations supersede the previous recommendations and they don't always remove the older information from their sites. The current technical data sheet does recommend adding a max of 30 to 50 percent 4030 by volume to the Candy2o for airbrush use. For a spray gun they recommend 1:1. Any aniline dye based candy, whether water-based or solvent based, is a concentrate. The 4030, in the case of Createx, is the "carrier" for the candy (4030 provides other benefits too, but that's another discussion). Mixing 50 percent (or 2:1) of the 4030 rather than 100 percent (or 1:1) with a Candy2o will give you a stronger paint mix, meaning there is more candy in the clear binder (4030). So, it will cover faster but it will also be more prone to bleeding into future top layers of artwork. Reducing the concentrate further with 4030 (1:1) gives you a weaker mix that is easier to spray larger areas with even coverage in my experience, and the weaker candy doesn't tend to bleed into additional layers quite as strongly without preventative steps. (some colors will still bleed). The weaker concentration also makes it difficult to go too dark too fast. As a comparison, solvent based candies are mixed with a solvent based intercoat clear as the "carrier" (4030 takes the place of the intercoat in the water-based world); however, the recommended mix ratios are vastly lower (generally 5 to 10 percent, or no more than 20 percent of the candy mixed into the intercoat clear). So, there is far more of the intercoat clear mixed into a solvent based candy compared to the water-based cadies. The reality is this... manufacturers will always have their recommendations for mixing/using their products. They do this for legal/liability reasons and to cut down on frivolous warranty claims. I have never met a custom painter/airbrush artist that doesn't routinely stretch and/or break the rules. I definitely take the time to learn the recommendations, but I'm constantly pushing the limits to find out what can actually be done and what cannot. The 1:1 ratio is what I prefer because it works great for my needs. The trick is to experiment with it and find what works best for you and your needs. Does that make sense?
@@wickedartstudio thanks for the detailed answer. i got a great issue with little candy lumps on the surface. it looked like little candy drops. i think, i mixed the false ratio and too much o2.
i used to spray fire the lavallee style with self-mixed candy-solvents. now i wanna switch to waterbased. a big issue with waterbased colors is, that they do not cover at once on black like solvents. have you tried to "base" your flames with white or opaque illustration orange and then push back with candy?
From what you described, it sounds like you might have experienced seeding which usually caused by over reducing Candy2o (seeding also happens more when using 4012 reducer in my experience), or your air pressure was too low/paint reduction ratio was too viscous and the candy failed to atomize. Obviously, those are complete guesses based on what little information I have. I have tried using white for the initial layers when painting fire, but I don't prefer that method. I prefer to use Illustration Scarlet, Orange and then white. It does take longer to build the layers with water-based paint. You can add a small amount of white to the red and/or orange to make the paint more opaque though.
@@wickedartstudio this is a picture of my seeding issue: www.directupload.net/file/d/5383/u684djmf_jpg.htm . the dark little dots are candy, that is grouped to a drop. you can wipe it off directly after spraying. this happens not all the time, as you see, but its a no-go.i used this ratio provided by the dealer i bought it: 9 parts candy:1 part 4030. maybe i should have taken a look in youtube first;) by the way: did you try to reduce illustration colors or o2 candys with isopropanol?
getting ready to do some blue true fire on motorcycle parts what colors do you recommend and should i use 4040 in between coats?
I'm actually playing with this right now and will upload a video about it in the next few weeks. So far I've tried this sequence with good results: Illustration Opaque Dark Blue, Candy2o Midnight Blue, Illustration Opaque White, Candy2o Marine Blue, Illustration Opaque White, Candy2o Caribe Blue, Illustration Opaque White. I posted a pic of the results using those colors in that order under the community tab of my channel if you'd like to see what it looks like. I think I can get better results changing some of those colors, but I haven't had the opportunity to try other combinations yet. The blue candies are prone to bleeding (and I mixed them relatively light with 1 part candy, 3 parts UVLS clear and 1 part 4011 reducer). I didn't use any 4040 on my test panel. Being a little more careful with your candy application will help alleviate significant bleeding in your brightest highlights.
thanks and love the vids they are very helpfull
@@bughead9807 Thank you!
Great vid and amazing work. What's the music from 5:05?
Thank you! I don't recall specifically what music was used at that point in the video, but all of the music I use is taken directly from the TH-cam Audio Library.
I have a bunch of mica powder pigments how can i incorporate that into a liquid so i can run them through my airbrush ?
I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I have no experience with those.
How do you do it if your using candy pigment powder mixed with thinners
A true candy color is dye based. There is no pigment in it. If you're mixing with a pigment based powder, you're not going to achieve a true transparent glaze.
which auto clear coat did you use?
I've used House of Kolor for most of my career; however, this year I've switched over to Tamco clears and I'm very happy with them.
Will the candy last longer with automotive clear
Is there an update
Hi Sam. I wound up aborting the test with this panel. It was painted on wood and wouldn't stay upright in the window originally. I took it outside and left it there when I couldn't find an easy solution to keep it propped up in the window. Unfortunately, I forgot about it a few times when rain came. I wound up bringing it back inside before it got completely ruined. So, I didn't get a solid test with this panel. I need to do something similar with a metal panel and try again, but I've yet to get around to doing that.
Having said all of that, I did use candy2o Blood Red on the hood of my own vehicle when I painted it. To date, I haven't noticed any fading and it was painted almost eight years ago. Based on that, I don't think fading will be an issue with candy2o candies. I would still like to do a test panel with the other colors and different ratios to be sure though.
Question. I'm just starting to airbrush.an not sure what paint to use. I'm be doing fishing spoons. If u know what those are. Like medal. I belive an copper spoons. . What type of colors do I use.for them?? Since I will be using all wicked products. Want to have some like Matt finish an some gloss as well. Hope u can help me out thanks man
You can use Wicked paint on your fishing spoons without issue: however, I'm not sure if the UVLS line of Createx clears will hold up to the abuse of actually using your custom painted lures. I would recommend using an automotive style catalyzed urethane clear for the final topcoat for the ultimate in durability. The colors you choose to use are completely up to you as the artist, and there's no shortage of choices in the Createx Wicked line.
@@wickedartstudio wow thanks man. So your saying I can use any type of colors on my iwata neo airbrush. But to use that top coat your recommended?? Is that also some type of gloss coat ??thanks alot man
@@trout_spankn_dominoeacosta6914 The Neo will struggle to spray metallic and pearl colors due to its needle size. It will likely clog a lot if you try. It can be done (I've sprayed both with my Eclipse which has the same needle size), but it is frustrating. I would assume you'll prefer those types of colors due to what your painting so, it might be beneficial to invest in another brush with a larger needle/nozzle set.
A 2k automotive clear can be gloss, semi-gloss or matte depending on the additives. Be aware there are some health concerns that go along with spraying it. I would definitely recommend doing some research before you decide to use it. Isocyanates are nasty. Protect yourself and your family.
@@wickedartstudio thanks man. I was thinking of using the opuae colors. With some gloss in it. Nothing major. Since the fish tend to bite on the same colors. Won't be doing a whole variety of them so some basic stuff ya know. Good looking whactha think tho??
@@trout_spankn_dominoeacosta6914 Sounds like a good plan to me. Your Neo won't have any problem spraying the opaque or transparent colors.
I find at 1-1 with wicked detail it seems to be very chalk like finish
There are a number of factors we can't necessarily control that will affect your paint. I make recommendations based on what works for me where I'm located. That doesn't mean my recommendations will work for everyone anywhere. Environmental factors aside, we're all a little bit different and have our own preferences too. At the end of the day, it takes some experimentation on the user end to find what works best.
CAN I USE AUTOBORN SEALER OVER MY CANDY2.0 TO PREVENT BLEED-THRU?
I would spray a couple of light coats of 4040 Bleed Checker over it first.
I've tried spraying Candy2o a few times, and each time it tends to bead up on the surface. Rather like water on a car windshield after a good waxing. I've tried it over cured acrylic, and enamel paints with the same effect. Any recommendations?
It's hard to guess when I can't actually see what you're doing, or what you've sprayed. Are you applying light coats? If water-based paint is sprayed too heavily it will cause pigment migration. Send me some pics at wickedartstudio@gmail.com and I might be able to give you some better suggestions.
Make sure to add in balancing clear and spray very light coats
can i do this on canvas...black n white lightly then createx candy over it
You can, but using candy over a black and white rendering limits the vibrancy of the candy in the end. Candy colors are exceptionally good at intensifying colors... really making things pop when used correctly. If you compare the end result in this video to the end result in part 2, I think you'll see what I mean. The colors in part 2 are a lot brighter and more intense compared to part 1. If you plan to use a grisaille (which is just a fancy way of saying monochrome) under painting, you'd be better off using a wash of transparent colors in the end instead of candies. The results will essentially be the same. If you want to use candies, I'd suggest using pastel colors close to the same candy color you plan to spray over it for your under painting. I'm working on a part 3 for this video series that will cover this technique. I hope that helps you out!
@@wickedartstudio thank u soo much..i watch and follow you...keep airbrush alive 🙏🏾
@@suspensefulness I appreciate the support my friend!
I have a long question about colors, blending, and tones, is there a way to send you an email?
You bet! wickedartstudio@gmail.com
How do you decide to use candy, metallic, or pearls?
Essentially, I almost always prefer to use a metallic or pearlescent under candy. Remember a true dye based candy is 100 percent transparent. The candy will allow light to pass through it and reflect (or refract in the case of a pearlescent) off the base color underneath. You can use a candy over any color and it will intensify the color(s) underneath; however, you'll always get a more dramatic effect if you incorporate a metallic or a pearlescent under the candy in my opinion. I touch on this more in part two which can be found here th-cam.com/video/OKXLt6VqtZs/w-d-xo.html
I still have a part 3 to this series in the works. In part 3 I get into a lot more detail about using metallic or pearlescent colors under the candy.

What type of panel your using..?
This was done on a piece of Masonite with the white coating on one side. You can pick up a sheet from a hardware store and they will usually cut it down to whatever sizes you want. It's a great, and cheap material to practice on.
Nice video with lots of info, but why do all the videos of airbrushing have to have loud crappy music. I'm so tired of turning the sound off and then having to go back and see if I missed someones voice telling me something. What ever happened to low background music ?? I'd rather hear the air hiss than loud music !
Thank you. I do adjust the volume during the editing process in an attempt to keep the music at about the same level as my speech. I prefer to have some music in my videos and wish TH-cam had a better selection to choose from, but it is what it is.
I dont think you can teach talent. Too start off with a blank canvas and free hand an image like you did,?
Natural talent is natural talent; however, it's still a perishable skill that diminishes without practice. I've been an artist for my entire life, and I've continued to learn throughout. I didn't always have the confidence to start with a blank canvas. So, I would say yes, a person can learn to do what I do with or without natural talent. How successful they are is dependent on how much time and effort they are willing to put in.
