I have being asked a couple of times of how i paint pea dot camouflage, it's my own take on pea dot but from some of the comments I'm guessing it works. I would call it stylized for a better word, I'm no master of a brush but hopefully it will help in some small way even if it gives someone the starting point of how to tackle pea dot. I have used a cocktail stick to add the dots but a brush can be used, the paints are mainly Vallejo with Games Workshop washes to shade.
Step 1
Undercoat the figure. The choice is yours!
Step 2
Paint the trousers and socks with field grey with a tad of black added to deepen the base coat.
Step 3
Wash over the trousers and socks with GW nuln oil.
Step 4
Dry brush the trousers and socks field grey, add a small amount of Iraqi sand to highlight.
Step 5
Mix German medium camou brown with a tad of black to base coat jacket.
Step 6
Wash GW nuln oil over the jacket.
Step 7
Reinstate the raised areas on the jacket with medium camou brown, leave shade in the creases.
Step 8
Paint random patches of beige brown and military green over the jacket.
Step 9
Wash over the beige brown with GW agrax earthshade and the military green with GW nuln oil.
Step 10
Highlight the beige brown and military green leaving shade in the recesses.
Step 11
Add white to military green to highlight.
Step 12
Mix white to bright camou green and using a cocktail stick overlay the spots on the military green patches.
Step 13
Using cork brown overlay onto the dark camou brown using a cocktail stick.
Step 14
Mix white into military green and once again using a cocktail stick overlay dots onto the beige brown.
Step 15
Finish painting the figure with appropriate colours.
I'm pretty sure there are better tutorials out there and much more accurate ones!
So thanks for looking, feel free to comment and catch you all soon.
Cheers for now Russ
