Kris Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Does anyone know how you go about painting this pattern? I'm assuming its done using either/both a stencil or netting. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 It looks to me like a light green crackle paint over white and blue areas, followed by stenciled black craw sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Moreau Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Do you think its crackle Mark? It very well could be since I have been out of the game for a bit, but all the ways i have tried crackle you get raised edges where it splits but its been awhile since i have tried so maybe there are better ways now. To me it looks like a tan/white base with a messy netting or a multi layer net job like a large hole net with a smaller hole net over the top and your choice green...the blue is probably a simple stencil since it has such sharp edge lines like an exacto cut into plastic. the rest is a basic craw.

What you said makes sense. The green pattern looked so random I assumed it was some sort of crackle. I used to do an avocado net overlay of my tulle scale netting to get a similar effect. It's been so long since I did it I forgot what it looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I saw this bait on Brotherhood of Crankbait painters facebook page. It is a random mesh fabric doubled over itself. Edited February 19, 2018 by bobv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishCandy Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Searched for "Tulle" at Joanne's Fabrics. Didn't find that stuff, but did find netting for painting scales. In case anyone is looking. http://www.joann.com/matte-net-fabric-72in-nude/15279649.html#q=tulle&prefn1=prod_type&sz=36&start=145&prefv1=Product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Young Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I love this topic. The postings give several ways of accomplishing the same thing. If I were doing this with Createx paints I'd start with something like this: Base coat: White bottom: Flo sunburst Above this: Sky blue Mask Over blue and to top: O white top to upper 1/3: tan (faded) Remask in different spot Above blue: T leaf green sprayed at an angle. unmask top and tone: T leaf green Remask in different spot random sporatic pattern: T dark forest green. unmask perhaps a touch on top: same Shadow stencil: Candy black (1 drop T black, 3 drops T base, reducer to taste) top and tone: same. You may have to experiment a little - esp about when to put those blue lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
