Real Fire - Step by Step
Here is how the fire shell was done.
1 - I roughly drew the shape and direction of the flame shapes with marker on the outside on the protective film.
2 - Using a pre cut loose stencil and a bit of freehend work to firstly create the hot spots of the fire with white making sure I didnt over do it with the white, just a little here and there where I wanted the hot spots to be.
3 -Then I used yellow applying it over the white using the stencil and freehand techniques to shape up the second layer.
4 -Next I used Fluro Orange, now its this colour which makes the fire glow, I found that when I used a flat orange (yellor + Red) it didnt look bright enough. Using the same procedures as the yellow though getting a little softer and less stencil work to acheive that glow of fire.
5 - Before I allpied the black I flat-toned with a burnt red over the Fluro orange to get more warmth within the outer flame creating some little licks here and there just working beyond the orange. I added a little violet pearl to the tips of the flames before the flat tone of black went down.
So its pretty much working from the lightest colour to the darkest and working first the inner part of the fire to the outer part, this is how I do it on other surfaces though reversed and with more layers and using candies in between solid colours.
The key in acheiving the real fire to to get the layers in and making sure the shapes twist and overlap as you use a loose stancil pointing in towards each other (large curved stencil for the body and small curved stencil for the flame licks) and incorporating freehand techniques so it doesnt look to abstract.
What are your thoughts, and love to see other samples of this desireable effect.

1- First colour used was was white with a little yellon in it, about 15 to 20% of yellow to warm the white a little.
2- Second colour was yellow straight from the bottle.
3- Third colour was Fluro Orange straight from the bottle.
4- Fourth colour was a burnt red, I added about 5 to 10% of black to red, this is to desaturate or dullen the red down so its not so over powering, as the main colours in fire are variations oranges.
To add more layers you could add a yellowie orange (yellow+Fluro Orange) after the yellow layer then the Fluro orange etc..
All done with FastKolour paints.

Looks awsome.
So this stencil is something you made or you can buy? And you guys are only masking the windows, nothing else?
