mark poulson Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) I'm trying to figure out what to add to plain green to get watermelon. I use Bear's, Del's, and LC colors, but I'm thinking it really doesn't matter which brand. I guess what I'm asking is what to add to any green to get watermelon. I'm also wondering how red flake will affect the color? I know it gives an oxblood worm a reddish hue, so does it do the same for watermelon, and do I have to counter that with another color?

BBK Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 1 cup, 8 drops green, 2 drops pumpkinseed, and 1 or 2 drops of white depending on how you like it. This will get you a brownish green watermelon like Yum's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 the light refracting off the red flake makes it appear browner than green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thanks. Sounds like I should do the watermelon without the brown first, add the red flake, and see how that looks. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I just had my youngest, who has had her learners permit for two weeks, drive us over to her friends house. I need a nap, or a shot! Probably both.

Jeff Jeff, I taught my three boys to drive, and my older daughter, so I should be used to this by now. But it never gets any easier. Especially with this child, who is strong willed and stuborn. I wonder where she got that from? She's a careful driver so far, and pays attention, so I am sure she'll make a good driver eventually. I just hope I live to see it.

MonteSS Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try adding black grape instead of black. Keeps the color more transparent. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
