I'm just looking for a bit of input here...
I'm slowly getting to grips with this whole weathering thing. And lately I've been looking at using washes to pick out panel lines and drawing them away to create a bit of streaking.
The technique seems easy enough, but I can't quite get it to look as I want to.
So I was thinking: is there a big difference between using oil- and water-based washes? I keep hearing that oil- based paints is easier to work with as it dries very slowly. Whereas the water-based washes I use (mainly Games Workshop washes and inks) tend to dry very quickly and are hard to manipulate once they're dry.
Is oil the way to go even though I hate to work with alcohol (fumes tend to give me a headache)?
