So much yes.

I'm late to the comment section, but just wanted to say if you mix Liquitex inks with their matte gel medium, you get a hobby paint-like consistency and sheen, but with a generally much more saturated color. It's a good place for ink-curious hobbyists to start with brush-on ink. Tip: always do a light spray varnish before getting inked surfaces wet or mixing with other product types. Sometimes it's okay, but the 1 time in 20 its not it'll be something you love that gets messed up.

Love the live experimentation and process work you go through. They look excellent!

Solid work as always. Out of interest, how would these go with some series D action? I’ve seen white ink out of a airbrush used as a great zenithal but wondering if you could get the same outcome without the airbrush but still using the ink

I've done some experimenting with Liquitex and Daler-Rowney FW inks recently and I find they're generally pretty sensitive to mixing stuff in. For me they tend to get too runny if I dilute with any more than 1:1 airbrush medium, they work oddly with Liquitex slo-dri and flow aid. I wouldn't try mixing mat medium or isopropanol in on a piece i cared about, but it might be interesting to see the results. After the weird behavior with other additives though, I've just waited for the ink gradients to be completely cured, then go over lightly with a mat varnish and continue painting. This protects the ink and cuts out the sheen, giving me a good place to go back to if i make a mistake and wipe it before it's fully cured.

In my experience you can thin down the inks (also just with water) for the airbrush way further than you would with normal acrylics. I've gone to a 1:5 ratio of ink:water. This greatly reduces the drying time, and lessens the speckling you get from airbrushing it. When you use the airbrush to continuously spray air, and add thin layers of paint when the previous layer is dry, you can get awesome control over your filters and transitions (plus you don't need to use the hairdryer!). For the glossy effect, that's sometimes an unfortunate property. But it's easily fixed by airbrushing some matte varnish, or satin if that's the preferred finish, over top.

I came to make a similar statement. Thinner coats, like a filter are a fun way to punch up color and blend harsh transitions. I take inspiration from trent denison or vincey V. Sketch in highlights and shadows, then blend with ink filters. This also is fun to do with metals. Thin inks over metals leaves the metal shine, but tents hue from silver to the ink color. Also, mixing inks and metal color *french kiss*

I was not too afraid of the result. The artist paint ranges, are normally all of a higher quality than all the modelism paint ranges, just look at the fact that the manufacturers of this type of paint advertise for example a UV resistance quality, which no modelism range advertises, and the pigment/medium composition of the modelism paints is as secret as the Coke recipe, whereas most of the artist paint pots advertise it on the bottle. I saw some miniatures with white ink of this brand, the nuance towards the white was very beautiful and very soft.

Awesome advice @Leonard and @Nagash, thanks so much! 😊

Did you edge highlight with the ivory paint or with ink? I've seen recommendations to use white ink for edge highlights but haven't purchased any to try it out yet. The weapons look great either way, thanks for putting this stuff out there.

You're very welcome, my pleasure! I just use the ivory. I've seen the same thing recommended though and I am also curious to try it out😊

Hi. At what pressure do you spray the inks ?

@ArtisOpus

Hey John, I was using quite high pressure here to avoid getting sputterings😊I think a lower pressure would be better, I am just a little out of practice with my airbrush.

What sort of cleaning do these paints need? Can you just rinse you brush in water or do you need a stronger cleaner fore these?

@miguelgilcasas3560

Water is enough if it is water-based acrylic ink. When you finish painting always use a little bit of neutral soap too, it will lengthen the life of your brushes ;)

I don't like thinner in that brand of inks. I just put in some Vallejo flow improver. The thinner makes it runny

How would you compare these with the Inktense set from Scale75?

@ArtisOpus

They're definitely comparable. I've not played with them enough to give a proper comparison but they do feel like they're maybe a little more forgiving whilst still being super potent.😊

@@ThomasGallinari The Liquitex ones that I've used (10 or so) are somewhere between matt and satin (more matt). What I will say is that Liquitex is very strong inks, while not being overpowering in colour. If that makes sense. (-: Don't want to link to others in here, but a quick yt search for "liquitex ink" will give you a lot of mini painters who use them.

Liquitex like scale 75 all have a slight varied finish and set time. I find the liquitex take a bit longer to dry and 'cure' enough to be able to handle normal brushing. If you plan to use a contrast over a a zenithal I just using the contrast in an airbrush or toss a light varnish over the ink.

Came here as the title sounded like a video where some of the inks are shown and one can see their vibrancy, but can't see that in the video at all... Not sure what the title has to do with the actual video?

I preshaded a model with white Liquitex ink but unfortunately found that glaze made with Citadel Lahmian Medium dissolves the dried ink. It was a huge mess!

Inks tend toward satin finishes, particularly if several stages of them are used! They are super strong though, so just a drop can be thinned lots, and this pulls them right back :)

Not sure these are for me to be honest, but if you want to try out some new stuff why not take a look at the Ultimate Modelling Products washes? They're pretty unique in that they're a heavy, clay based pigment so you do have to keep shaking them up, and they tend to dry lighter than they look fresh from the bottle, but you can re-activate them with water and they're about the only acrylic washes around that can make really convincing dust effects or dirt streaks
