Default Painting Tutorial: Leather Compilation

Erus, I'll have several different leather tuts put together in this thread. This is number One: Luscious well kept leather.
Base coat. Tzeench bless Foundation Paints


Now here is the tricky bit. This colour is very deep and the only word to describe it is luscious. Red Gore, Chaos Black and Snakebite Leather in roughly 5:2:1 mix.


simple blend into red gore and highlighted with Blood Red.


Lastly, to get that shine that you only get when you've cleaned and polished leather...

PVA Glue.

interesting to note that the highlights go into the creases and the high points remain the base colour. good work as usual, but i'm not sure i like the pva stage.

question for you. IF you didn't have snakebite leather, what would be a decent substitute?

Bubonic or Scorched brown perhaps

Edit: @Hairy: The glue was still wet on that one Hairy. I didn't have time to let it dry.
@ Ides: thanks for the spling correction.

Not sure GW sell scotched brown. Scorched I do have though.

also graveyard earth if needed.

The foundation is astronomicon grey...and I assume you could use gloss varnish to the same effect as the PVA?

Yes, a gloss varnish painted on would work, but I find it's finish to sometimes be uneven and get hairs stuck in it. PVA (for me) just works better.

I think the PVA looks interesting, (in a good way) i reckon once it's dry should give a nice leathery texture, nice one Nano. +rep+

Thanks for the tutorial,

The flash on the camera does make the glue shine in a rather unnatural way.

It looks good. Have you considered using a lamp or natural sunlight and turning the flash on your camera off to avoid that odd little sheen you are describing? I take all my photos by lamp light and it seems to work just fine for me.
