I'm supremely glad I actually recorded this method as I was painting or I wouldn't have believed the result, myself. It's not the fastest way, for sure, but it's easy enough and the end result has some really interesting colour modulation which makes it interesting to look at.

I accidentally painted maybe the nicest army style Salamander I've ever done entirely without meaning to. Whoops!
