![]() However I like the protection Mod Podge gives, so I use it. You can either just use black paint, or mix in some white glue with your black paint. Since I will want to start painting the wall with a black base anyway, adding the black paint to the Mod Podge simply saves a step in the process. This allows for all sorts of effects to be added in, but another important feature is that the darker colours act like shadows in the areas that are hard for finer brushes to reach. The basic concept of painting dioramas is to start with the darkest colour first, and work up to the lightest. This both covers the ugly foam colour and prevents it from leaking through the lighter paint colours that will go over top of it. Mod Podge dries clear, so I add black paint to it. This will act as a barrier to our foam and make it more resistant to getting marked up with bangs and scratches. Brushes, selection tools, managing document sizes, changing. It’s probably the best place to start because it covers a lot of what you’d need to know for getting started drawing and painting. Mod Podge is, basically, white glue (also called PVA glue), with a bit of epoxy in it. The very popular JelArts channel on YouTube put together this brief video on Paint Tool SAI for beginners. The first step is to apply a mixture of Mod Podge and black paint. To overcome this, I use a two-part process to seal and paint foam. It also dries quickly and doesn’t require a primer on foam, which is nice.įoam is still soft though, and doesn’t wear well. Second, it is water soluble and easy to work with. My paint of choice is acrylic craft paint. (Note: We also use white glues instead of super glues for the same reason-super glue melts foam.) So I avoid spray paint when it comes to foam. However if not used properly, spray paint can melt the foam, which will undo all of our hard work up to this point. ![]() The easiest way to cover a large area is with spray paint. Visually it is a mess of that ugly foam pattern, and the printing the manufacturer put on the foam, as well as random inks from the pens used to create the brick patterns.Ĭhoosing the right paint to use on foam must be done carefully. Choice of paintsĪt this point we have a brick pattern pressed into foam as the basis for our wall. In the first post I covered the concept and scaling and the tools and material required, and I started the first steps of the build, which was creating a rough brick wall.
