Filter technique in Painting

[rodrant]

Sorry about bringing this topic to here , do not know if it is the right place in the forum , but I heard a lot about using 'filters' in painting , as example , after using some dark color we aplly a filter using the same color but more diluted or mixed with a lighter one ... when we use this technique the color should be diluted or mixed with some weathering product/lighter color ?

Does anybody know this technique that can give me some tips ?

thank you

Here's a link to one of Mig Jimenez's articles on what filters are, etc.

Thank you for the tips , think it is understood and more or ess ( actually less ... ) the idea that I had on what was this , I will try to practice some in my SiG Nightfighter build , let's see if it works ok as the plane is an all black and I will do some post shading using a very light gray and then apply a filter using the dark color but very diluted ...

I apreciate your help and tips very much !
