Honestly, after 20 years in the hobby and considering myself skilled, I wish someone had described me the brush control and basic principles regarding where you take the brush off the model decades ago. Obviously I have learned this this intuitively over the time, but it would have helped a lot in the learning process and I will teach my son like that. Thanks!

This is one of the most underrated videos I’ve seen on painting. I’m starting out and watched countless tutorials but always wanted someone to cover placement and direction. You did a phenomenal job!!! Thank you so much.

I agree. Ive just watched this video, and I know SO much more as a result. Thank you for this!

The simple wetting of a bit of toilet paper wrapped around the base of my thumb now means I don't have to go to my texture palette all the time anymore and for that I really thank you Just a really worthwhile vid

This was brilliant. It took me years to realize that where you lift your brush is one of the most important aspects of painting. This should be viewed by every painter - beginner and veteran alike.

Some of the finest advice I have heard in quite a long time. I take it for granted, but much like an instrument. It is the Time spent that makes it automatic or muscle memory Keeping it in mind allows it to become second nature. Well said.

This is great! As someone new to the hobby, these are the kind of really elementary essentials I need, but nobody else covers. Thank you!

One of the most straight forward and well put together explanations of painting models, you could ever watch. This is most definitely one of the single most important thing you need to understand to take your painting to the the next level. Well done sir!

Really great break down. As a new painter I wish I had seen this a lot earlier. Will definitely be focusing more on that control. Thanx for sharing your knowledge

Thank you. Thank you. I really needed this.

Brilliant video. Thank you for making this. Very informative

This is a treasure trove of mini painting workshop

I actually just figured out the wet paper towel thing particularly for edge highlighting literally yesterday. Very nice to have that validated so I know I'm on the right track. Great videos, keep it up!

These videos are great!, any tips on painting a whole army that doesnt take 5 hours a model and still looks good?

@WrathofMinis

Жыл бұрын

Thanks man. My main tip for painting armies and doing it in a faster way would be buying an airbrush but that does come with its own set of learning issues. One day I’ll do a paint an army speed paint challenge type thing but that wont be for sometime.

Is there a video, or if there isn't can you make one, about how to create fluid transitions of colour on pieces of armour, skin etc. ? Basics are edge highlights, shadows, chipping of base colour on top of damage colour etc. That's all nice but your work looks totally different. When you paint say a shield it has lots of tones on it. Obviously I understand how this is created by adding more thin layers of different shades of base colour or nearby colours if we go for some reflections etc. Although, if there are any tips, tricks or just stuff that can help - I'd love to see that. I started out like 2 months ago only painted.. 13 minis I think. Iron hands marines and eliminators. I feel that the improvement is quite fast but I'd like to start improving on the technique I really want to start learning. Amazing content, thank you. Really way more helpful than another generic do this and that with this citadel paint and voila you're a pro.

Hey, so it really sounds like you’re really taking in the whole painting thing, thats awesome! Interestingly what you’re talking about is a much more intermediate set of ideas, which i think is very cool. At this current moment we are still pushing out our beginner friendly videos but we are definitely going to get to the more complicated topics that exist in the future. What are the techniques that you really want to start learning? Also thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate it!

Great vid, many people assume it's obvious and skim over this topic and then suffer. BTW do you remember which colours were used for the cloth at 8:05? This is the exact palette I'm trying to nail with my undead < 3

Im interested in what brushstrokes are needed to paint different materials to give the illusion of texture but having problems finding a good guide

What is the metal curve on the paint handle for? I've always wondered.

Hey, its just a bar in which you can place your painting hand fingers on whilst you are painting so you have more stability!

Hello, at 6:30 you appear to be using a wet palette as the paint appears to be sitting on a thin filament of water. Yet the several wet palettes I own do not allow water to seep through the paper to the paint. What kind of wet palette is that? I personally own a RedGrass palette and an Army Painter palette.

Hats off to painters who don’t use a magnifying glass, I’m over here looking like a surgeon when painting 😂

Which Paint did you have on the Palette? Scalecolor Artist?

I use Scalecolor artist and Kimera Kolors as my main paints but in this video its mostly Scalecolor.

Taking your thumb out of the control of the brush seems alien to me. Painting with your thumb sticking straigt-up in the air? Umm no

Dude, what is that model you weirdo?
