Ghost Flame Tutorial

In the first half of the video, I break down the fundamentals behind pulling off a ghosted image. I discuss different types of paint and how they interact with each other when it comes to choosing a good basecoat for your ghosted image. I also talk about mixing custom colors using dry pearl versus using what is available off the shelf.

In the second half of the video, I demonstrate each step while painting ghost flames on a panel. I also share how to differentiate overlapping flame licks and how to add drop shadowing, two techniques that are rarely seen on a ghost flame paint job, without losing the ghosted effect.
