lHi guys, thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated. Thanks for the questions as well, great one come to think of it. I have so many pleos that painting them is also a great way to individualize them and not get them confused with each other.
I usuallly use a combo of Acrylic, laytex, inks and some painted powder pigments. I have allso been known to use a bit of oil, and I do think I am the only Pleo oil painter, so far.
For Kat, IMR and Crewella, I have a couple of questions. As for the movement and paint chipping or splitting, cracking. How long after painting did you notice these problems and was it primarily in the neck or tail area, areas of lots of movement?
Another important factor to consider and put into the factor sheet; What is the usual temperture and humidity of where you do the painting? Last what is the maker of the Acrylic paints you have used in the past.?
I did remove at least 90% of the previous paint on the pleo painted but the fact it was on there for months and I did use some olive oil to condition the skin, Rubber, and also great to remove small areas of stubborn paint, perhaps this conditioned the skin...............
just a thought.. I do think brand may play a role and temperture for sure. After I hear back from these questions I will let you know the rest of the information and I will post paints used and a video of this guy in action, movement along with photos of the other Pleos. Coral Pleo is the last one done before this one and all of the others are holding up well too, no cracks. Anxious to hear from the rest of you painters and to hear what others think of this Pleo and any ideas on paint splitting, etc. RWM ( the Mad Pleo Painter )and the Pleo clan of the Redwoods
