Gray is Always a Great Color to Practice-Atlantic Coast Line SW9

Here I am painting the gray on an Atlantic Coast Line SW9 switcher.  Lighter colors such as gray are especially important to paint evenly.  Lighter colors tend to show brush strokes more readily.
It is important when you begin painting gray, that you set aside enough time that you can fill the whole area and paint at least two or three coats without interruption.  Always be patient with gray, and remember to even out the lighter spots as soon as you paint.  It is much more difficult to touch-up large areas of gray than it is on darker colors once gray has had some time to dry.
Gray is an important color to practice.  Gray and silver are common colors on classic locomotives and on many underframes.  As your confidence with gray improves, you will find yourself able to draw a much wider range of locomotives.  Enjoy drawing trains.
