Hi to all
Thanks to PF member Colin Fraser for agreeing I can share his GOLD NMM mixes
Here are the paints I use for embroidery left to right darkest to lightest.. I like Liquitex pro artist’s acrylics because they are thick and one can almost sculpt embroidery with the brush tip.
Here are the inks I use on the embroidery at different stages, separately or mixed….but always heavily diluted.
The result on cape ( central oak leaves a WIP )

As a comparison...my mixes
There’s no set down ratio with each ...just a build up with acrylics using a minute touch of blending medium ...I use W&N ..see piccy others are available of course
Basecoat over a primer #1
Mix of #1 & 2 ..virtually a wash
Then the previous with a bit of 3
#3 & 4 for initial highs
Previous plus # 5 ...gradually building up
#5 on its own for the high points
Finally a very diluted wash of #6 ...build this up after waiting to dry ..it will leave a slight sheen
You could add a minute 50/50 mix of Gloss and Satin Varnish but not a must
You could also use these colours for variations
Results ....epaulette/aguilette about 80% done
