black paint discoluration?

[tony54321]

hello I just started to airbrush paint and really love it but sometimes my black paint"wicked detail"looks brown at times?

 

[markjthomson]

Yes it does... is it a question? or a statement! My High flow looks brown as well... it's the base they use for it.

Anyway, welcome along, can I get you to pop along to the intro page and say hi? What a[art of the world are you in, gear you use, what you paint, that sort of thing.

This has been covered many time here , Some black will pick up a blue tint while other will look brown depending on the pigments size and mixture.

should I add some other colur to counter the brown?

You can add violet to give it more of a black look . But what are you trying to do ? Blend back into a black back ground ?
painting on black paper , it is hard to tell you what to do when we really do not know what your goal is .

try keeping to just a white substrate and just paint black on it rather than add black over white paint. sometime easier said than done though

thanks

Check out these two WIP's, is this the colour difference you mean? Both done with golden high flow, one of the blacks I added 1 part ultramarine blue to 3 parts black, the other I used raw black. http://www.airbrushforum.org/threads/monica-belluci-my-attempt.16746/page-2

All of the white you see in the paintings is the substrate. I only used one colour for the whole portrait.

So mainly your doing monochromatic paintings , When I am doing a painting on white back ground I never use white paint at any time.
Black and white do not always play well with each other , They will both give a color shift , White over black =blue shift black over white can give brown.
Erasing your super bright areas and letting the over spray act as a gray scale effect will help a lot. Also over reducing your black (I almost always will add a touch of violet to my black ) will allow you to build the black at a more controlled pace. That will also keep you from going to dark to fast.

I love adding blue violet to give that deep looking black will try just pure Violet next time I use the forbidden colour!!!

I think it was Javier Soto on one of his videos where he said adding violet to your black keeps it looking black and alive.
