How to paint blood spatter please HELP!!

[AegisD]

It looks like I'm the only person who doesn't use a brush for this....

Anyway I usually just load a very small amount of a deep red, like red gore, or blood red mixed with a brown, into a small pipette (like below) and literally blow it over the area with it. Works good.

That is a great idea. I have lots of hypos around that I could try the same technique with... assuming I don't want to meticulously paint it by hand :clap:

use a stiff brush then run your thumb across it directing the spray onto the model messy but effective

Can't think what it's called so my searching hasn't produced a picture. At school, to fix pastel drawings, we'd blow fixative (white spirit?) over drawings using a couple of small metal straws, hinged at a right angle. Dangle one down into fixative, hold horizontal one & blow down it, tweak angle until liquid is drawn up & sprayed out over picture. It might be possible to play with the effect for blood/gore splatter. Cheers, B.

EDIT: Of course I can find it once I've posted :eyeroll: http://www.artifolk.co.uk/catalog/products/painting_accessories/artists_spray_diffuser.htm
