especially with regard to brushes. they were divided straight down the middle, and that's good to see. Obviously, don't buy $1 sets of 5 brushes at the dollar store, but you don't need $20 brushes either. I look at it like photography: as a beginning, buying a $5000 camera and lens kit is not going to make you a good photographer. *You* make good photos, not your camera: likewise, *you* paint high quality miniatures, not your brush.

Sams answer made the entire video worth the wait, it was a great video anyway, but that answer was awesome. I've only seen one other video with him, but for whatever reason I totally expected him to say he drinks paint water on purpose, he strikes me as very "Metal!!!", those types are always thinking of the stupid stuff they can do.

I like how Sam always grins like he's plotting something mischievous.

I love Sam. 'Can't accidentally drink your paint water if you drink it on purpose.' [Roll safe]

If I learned one thing from this video is that there is no one right answer to any question, it appears whatever works for oneself is the right answer

14:36 Jessica Rich: "Man, that red and that blue look awful together..." Cut to Cathy Wappel with red and blue hair. "I don't know, everybody always told me that all my clothes clash all the time, so I never really had a good sense of color..." Nice.

As far as quality of materials goes, I have a little saying. The difference in quality between a 50 cent pen and a five dollar pen is far, far greater than the difference between a five dollar pen and a $150 pen. So always buy the five-dollar-pen version of what you need.

Agreed. I found a great set of Army Painter brushes, that are just amazing. however, I do own the Sable brush by GW that is allegedly made by W&N, and boy is that thing a dream. I wouldn't use it as my standard go to brush though. My $3 Army Painter brushes are just fantastic, perfect workhorse brushes.

This video blew my mind. I was aware that there was some truth to the whole ''There's no real answer'' thing with regard to painting, but that there was no real answer to almost anything painting is just... Wow... It's really given me a confidence boost, I think. Just knowing that there're countless ways to achieve a good looking result

Pure gold. Love it that they disagree on topics but each providing a reasons answer that's right for them. Just totally proves the advice in the there that painters should look to find their own way instead of treating one person's opinion as gospel. Great insight into the painters as people too, that you don't get so much in their tutorials.

Really great information here and shows all the opinions painters have even at the top! -Sam

I love how much they contradict each other. Really shows the art side of painting and how in the end, humility, practice and effort are the things that teach you.

Contradicting advice isn't really contradictory because there are multiple ways to succeed and this this video really illustrates how artist have different approaches for what they do and can do to be successful. Awesome content Atom!

Turning the handle of your paint water so you don't actually drink it is the most helpful professional level advice

It is super illustrative how in almost every question, there are contradictory opinions of the painters, showcasing how there is not a single right answer to any art related question but it is all about experience and gut-feeling.

That last guy tried to sell me some towels.

Really really helped me. Only been painting for about a year or so but this video allowed me to be happy with just ‘getting in there’ and actually painting. No more paralysis by analysis. Thanks for taking the time Atom.

Best part was finding myself siding with some artists over others at first, then wanting to follow some and crap on others - this vid made me want to take a stance, which is pure gold! Kudos to you, friend!!

I have watched this video like 3 or 4 times, and I keep on picking up new things that I am using in my everyday painting. So much good information that you will never absorb in one viewing

"Perfect is the enemy of good."I know you've said that in at least one of your videos, but hearing it again in this one just happened to coincide with me putting on what I've decided are the finishing touches for a Liberator Prime. It's turned out better than I expected, and futzing with one thing just causes something else to need fixing, so I'm calling it done.Another interesting part of the video was the part about painting individual models or groups all at once. My current strategy is to paint one at a time, and compare it to the last one I painted. In what ways is this model better? What did I do differently on this model that I didn't do on the last one? Etc, etc.Great video. Thank you for posting it.

Awesome vid. Loved the clash of big painters ideas; masterfully edited to say 'learn everything, even if it clash', to 'There is no ONE right way'. Everything in between was candy. A great painting vid for sure. Thank you.

As a new painter I have watched dozens of KZread tutorials and videos related to minipainting, trying to learn new techniques and set myself up for success. I can honestly say that this was one of the most interesting and thoughtful out of them all, and I would gladly have watched at least another hour of it, or several "sequels." Thank you for the outstanding upload, Uncle Atom!

Really great stuff here. Such a great collection of artists and their feel on the questions.

This is the single best contribution to the hobby I've viewed.

Watching this was very refreshing. Loved the variety of opinions amongst them.

Late to the party, but this video has been amazing as someone who is just starting out in the hobby again (after 20 years off!). Thank you for all the brilliant content, it's going to take me a while to get through it all...

Fantastic video. As a person getting back into the hobby after a 20year break so much has changed in technique. Really interesting to hear their thoughts & contrast with my own experience relearning old techniques & integrating new ones to my work flow.

Great stuff! I love getting lots of feedback from different people. It truly shows that there is no definitive guide on how to paint.

What an awesome vid, loved hearing what all these guys had to say about their work.

This is one of my favorite videos. I revisit regularly on my journey into the mini painting hobby, at different stages of my journey. And it always proves to be motivating, reminding and entertaining. Of I hear or understand some things better at later date than initially. This video is based on such a great concept it should not be a one-timer. You should make it a regular series. Maybe sets of questions for different broad themes... like air-brush... zenithal highlights... basing.... you know, themes a beginner will sooner or later turn their attention to and ponder...

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Adam. Good work as usual

14:46 love that response. I quickly found out that the clashing of colours is really in the eye of the beholder. And that is it. Same goes for food - people have different taste buds so anything goes. The rest of colour theory about mixing and complimentary colours is important. That would be what I would say to look up as a beginner.

Mr Atom. Smasher, that was the singular best video you have ever made, and I love all your output. Bravo maestro.
