Mottling technique?

#1 Post by crunchy8022 »

Hello everyone. Does anyone know of or can point me to a good mottling tutorial? I have seen the basic David Fisher video but would like to see if anyone has something more complex. Thanks.

I obtained some very nice mottling templates from Comart paints and they worked extremely well.

What are mottling templates?

Try Stan Winston Studios' videos. Casey Love has a video on there on how to paint a bust that is great. Very detailed. Just what your looking for. Lots of mottling :)

Looks good. Thanks for the tip. Is the whole video worth the price? Or should I buy just that segment?

The templates Larry is referring to are called "Organic" and are part of the Iwata/Artool line.

We used them in the Dino 101 class and everyone was pleased with them.

You can pick them up from Tom at TagTeam Hobbies.

Buy the entire Casey Love video, it's well worth it.

I was surprised to learn I had these templates. I bought them at Hobby Lobby a few months ago and forgot about them. Are there specific scales 1/4, 1/6, etc. that you use them for or anything goes?

There's actually two sizes - full size (regular sheet) and the mini series (half sheet). We used the mini's in the Dino 101 class.
