Vince is a terrific teacher. I love how practice-oriented his explanations are-not just, “This thing is this way,” but “This thing is this way, and for that reason, you can do all this stuff with it!” or, “…for that reason, you have to approach it differently.” His channel should be called Hobby Secrets instead. It’s also fun to watch him demonstrate how quickly and loosely a model can be painted and still look fantastic in the end if you know what you are doing.

Hi Vince, Amazing videos! There is so much information to absorb and learn in every one of them, And it has helped me alot to progress as a painter! I have one question about shading. A common theme I've seen in the videos is that when it comes to shading, instead of adding just pure black into the mix (or white for tinting) you tend to use the complimentary colors. Like for red this time you use a little bit of green, and for purple you added a little bit of yellow. Would this work as a general base rule when it comes to shading/tinting colors?

@VinceVenturella

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, using the complimentary colors is a nice way to produce natural shadows. It's still good to also use something like dark blues or purples or even blacks as well depending on what you want to achieve, but it produces very real shadow tones.

Hi Vince, reporting back after testing a bunch of my red paints. Two paints are different from what I thought beforehand. Vallejo game ink red is not a neutral red, it is in fact a magenta most likely PV19 and as PV19 goes highly transparant and vibrant. And the other is Blood Angel red contrast who in the bottle looks pretty neutral and dark, but on the model is lighter and has a warm bias. Contrast paints can be pretty different compared to how they look in the bottle and this one is no acception. And a general observation is that most reds Iown have a warm bias (as in leaning towards orange) (both pure pigment ones and blends). The exception being Napthol Crimson ink (PR170) from Liquitex that is a actual cool red without learning stronger towards a magenta. The Red from Kimera is made out of the same pigment, but had a warm bias instead of a cool one. You do have stuff like Khorne red, and many hull reds that are darker but not necessarily cool (although Khorne red is). All of these seem to contain red oxide (most commonly PR101 or PR130) and thus are more opaque. Was searching for a cool red (without looking like a magenta or even purple) and only found one: Napthol Crimson ink. I thought since I have so many reds, that I would have more, but surprisingly no.

@VinceVenturella

4 жыл бұрын

Couldn't say for GW, but for Vallejo, just good old 07.926 Red or 70.957 Flat Red, both are excellent bases.

When I bought the Citadel Expert Set (the original Citadel Inks) I got a lot of use out of various inks which were easy to use as washes; but I didn't get glazing until it came to red... When you highlight red you will always go to the pinks or the oranges - if you start with a maroon and highlight with a more scarlet red you're going more orange than the original red... So I was painting one of my Chaos Sorcerors (I had eight in my army at the time) and I was going for the ultramarine/pheonecian purple/scarlet scheme for them, and this one's robes were going to be red... I had shaded in purple ink and highlighted in yellow (hobgoblin orange was the ultimate in transparent paints at the time and I had skipped it entirely, because I wouldn't have noticed the transition if I'd used it) and it looked terrible. Fortunately I had picked up the tip from either the 'Eavy Metal write-up (which used to be at the back of every White Dwarf) or the "How to Paint Citadel Miniatures" (I still want to know how the mottling on the titan on the front cover was done :-) ), and I painted the whole robe with undiluted (far more pigment than necessary) red ink... That was the first miniature I had painted, which I was aware of the older kids being impressed by... not that they admitted being impressed of course; they were older and therefore better :-) I had never really understood how Bronzed Flesh (a "bone" colour with a hint of grey to it at the time) could work until that point - and then I began glazing red ink (thinned, not deliberately; but knowing that I needed to have a wet brush before I started) across the mid-line of the face (cheeks and nose). I have worked my skin-tones that way ever since - starting with a cold, pallid tone and building the blood and heat up in transparent filters. Learning to "glaze" (I didn't really learn, I'm still not sure I have; but I had that tool in my toolbox) with red made my skin-tones stand out among the circle I knew - and I regret the point when Citadel moved to a pink/peach base caucassian skin-tone; because I haven't found as good a base since (bleached bone, ivory...etc. are all warmer)...

An interesting things about the psychology of red is that our eyes actually have the least number of cones for detecting red compared to the rest.

However, I'm finding the pale sand, ice yellow undercoat for a red highlight to not be what I envision. The light red is pink ish, and I add red but the highlight gets diminished obviously. Adding more yellow makes it orange. It's frustrating because red isn't like Blue where I can have a medium blue, add cyan (that's technically a different color 1 up on the color wheel like orange from red) and it still seems blue. Or a medium green with a lime highlight and it still looks green... Red feels different/ harder. What can I do?

And…holy guacamole!!! Just one thin coat of Pro Acryl red looked better than 7 coats of Vallejo red, and the second thin coat took it to a whole new level! Expect some cookies in the mail soon. 🍪 😁

How can I get less purple-ness in the red? Another coat of red? Or should I use a navy blue instead? I just dont want orange nor a violet red. Not even slight violet you know what I mean?

Another glaze of red will generally bring everything back into line. You can use all those darker or lighter shades and tints and you can always bring them back into red shades because red is so wonderfully transparent.

Hi Vince, Thanks again for these videos about colors! Good to find really practical lessons on these subjects. Altought I still struggle to make "intense" red (dunno if intense is the proper word... I found an example of what I'd like to achieve : www.sciborminiatures.com/pow.php?absol=1&co=i/2016/big/dark_guard_p_04.jpg) I don't even know what red I shoud grab to start with :p

So it looks like a little black as the shadows, maybe some deep purple, then just pushing into yellow/orange in the highlights. Anything from most paint lines would be fine.

Great content as usual! However, I'm not a fan of the recent addition of music in the background, for me it's just a bit distracting and doesn't bring anything to the video. I liked the more "dry" sort of painting class feel of your previous content. I think you are easily a talented and entertaining enough speaker to keep the viewer's interest in what you are saying and to be honest for me the music lessens the impact of how you use your voice and is just a bit "cheap" / "tacky" (not really, but slightly in that direction). I appreciate you trying to mix up the format, but my vote goes for dropping the music. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into educating and entertaining us Vincent, you are my favourite miniature painting KZreadr easily, thank you very very much!

I'd disagree, I'm ok with the music. Its about the right volume, any louder and it would be distracting, but as it is is fine.

@Sovrano I am glad I am not the only one who finds the background music distracting. To me it sound like bad 90s synth pop elevator/hotel lobby music and the tempo between Vince’s voice vrs the background music. @Vince maybe try some free use music you would find off Game of Thrones/Lord of the Rings/Conan. Those kinds of tempos should complement your voice. That being said still love the videos.

I have had feedback in both directions on this. It's tough to find good free music in KZreads library (which you have to use if you want music or you get dinged for sure), I will experiment with it over time.

Any suggestions for good wine red colours?

There is a good range of crimson colors in the AK range, I also like several of the off-red tones in Pro Acryl for sure.

Challenge. Buy a miniature a week and paint it based on each video on this channel.

You say mixing the red with white gives a pink, but the one mixed with ice yellow just looks like a slightly darker pink, lol.

The key is if you push more into the yellow or even pale Caucasian flesh tone, you will get the brighter red without too much pink, but it's always a balancing act. :)

Yep, that red draws the eye for sure.

Looking at a Pocket Color Wheel from 2002 by The Color Wheel Company and printed in the U.S.A., Vallojo Model Color "Flat Red" which is in Vallejo Starter Set and should probably act as a primary red color looks, well, more flat and darker than 026 Scarlet, 028 Vermillion and 029 Vermillion. I would have judged 028 to be closest to a "true" Red compared the color wheel. The color wheel I have has in no way been sunbleached or anything like that. So is the print on the color wheel too bright to show the "correct" red color, is it the glossyness of the print, is Flat Red chosen because it has less white in it and so is easier to Tint, Tone and Shade or what ? Can the color wheel be trusted, is there a better one or am I just being too picky? :-)

Well, you might be being a little too picky. :) - That being said, keep in mind something like a printed color wheel is always going to be hard to match to exact paints. For example, take any of those reds and paint a few layers over black (so you achieve good opacity), it will still look far darker than the same application over white primer. Paint is ultimately transluscent and getting something to match exactly is usually uncessary. For example, if I was wanting a good middle red with paint, I might pick Flat Red, or 70.926 Red or Warcolours Red 3, or Vallejo Game Ink Red, or Kimera The Red or Pro Acryl Cadmium Red. All of the them are slightly different tones, but they are all close enough I would call all of them "red" (i.e. not Orange Red, or purple red or something else you might get having other colors in there).
