As Kat says it looks truly fab - almost impossible to tell, so you'd never know if not told.  Great job.  I can see the tube but not read it - what's the paint? ;D

Thank you  ;D

I would like to find a light green paint now to touch up the lighter parts of my Pleo. I might go and get the permanent green light in that make and see if I can match it up in any way.

He looks very happy with himself now, pity his personality did not match  >:D

Hi Jules

I have found the Windsor& Newton artists paint site.  Can you let us know the exact acylic paint used and any code numbers.

You have done a fabulous job, :) :) so I would like to try at some point down the line.  Did you do it with just one colour or a mix?

I'm glad the paint info I gave helped! Pleo looks great  :D

Here you go binbags, if you scroll down you'll find "Green Deep" and you can get it in a 200 ML tube or 500 ML jar  :)

binbags as you live in the UK you can get the paint from Hobbycraft shops or here online  http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/products-Winsor-Newton-Galeria-Acrylic-Colour-60ml-482-Permanent-Green-Deep_40196.htm

I will be going back to get a lighter green or even a yellow to mix so I can get the lighter shade back in my Pleo. I will post the results when i have done it.  ;)

Hi Jules and Firebreathingsquirrels

Thanks for your information; the nearest Hobycraft to me is in Stockport, with all this snow at the moment I will not make it.  All is not lost though, as we have a fairly large and comprehensive art shop here in Derbyshire.  I know that they do all or most artist’s requirements, oil, acrylic or water.  Even if they don’t, they should be able to obtain it for me.
 I feel like a walk now, so I am off down there.  I will let you know later how I went on.

Hi All

I have been down to artist shop, the only Wilson & Newton paints they had were a set of the Galeria acrylic starter set.

This contains 6 colours

Cadmium yellow medium
Cadmium red hue
Ultramarine
Phthalo Green
Yellow ochre
Titanium white

Each tube is 20ml, more than enough to do the job.  I also got a tube "Emerald 335" made by Daler-Rowwney acrylic.  This is almost the same as the W&N 482 Permanent Green Deep.  I will experiment to see what I reproduce in shades.
 
Jules, did you use the colours neat?  I am sure you did. :-\ :-\

Yes straight from the tube with a very fine paintbrush ;) You can mix them on a saucer and then them with a little water if necessary!
