Some things I've found working with oils for over a year. The surface you paint on makes a pretty significant difference to the experience. I like to paint oils on a matte to ultra matte surface because I prefer how the paint sticks a bit better when applying/blending. This also allows me to do more textured work on things like leather. You do your lines and dots, blend it just a little bit so it fades, add more lines and dots etc. Also oils are unparalleled for heavy corrosion. Obviously they can be thinned down to an enamel wash consistency but I love them for thick chunky rust. I have an old short bristled filbert that I use to stipple thick impasto rust tones and it's just marvelous.

Interesting to see this different take on using oils. I've been using exclusively oils for just over a year now, following more of the "Wappel Method" for lack of a better term. Drying time can definitely be an issue, especially if you get the paint on too thickly. Very important to use much less paint with oils than you think you need--that stuff will spread out a LONG way. Also, if you're in a cool, damp environment, a small reptile light can really help with decreasing the oils' curing time. Most of my oils will dry in 8-12 hours (unless I used a lot of cadmiums), but I can cut the cure time down to about half that with a small 25w reptile heat lamp pointed at the model stuck in my airbrush booth. Oils are also *amazing* for washes, which I know you've covered before. ;)

I started painting with pils a year ago. I consider myself a primitive with them and yet they are such a game changer related to blending! I mostly paint with Kimera, which are matt and somewhat demanding for blending, so I typically only use them after I've created most of the smoothness with oils. If you don't have an airbrush or can't use one, have a look at oil paints. Particularly if you paint long blends a lot. I'm looking at you and your long dressing gowns dear Nighthaunt.

I've also been using white enamel over gloss varnish almost like a drybrush. The enamel is smoother than acrylic. The only problem is working time. When it gets to the right consistency on the brush you need to work quickly. Then clean with oms. Mistakes can be corrected with mineral spirit. I think the varnish here is vital for smoothness and mistake correction. Thanks Vince for the tip about hair. Lately my acrylics have been mainly relegated to underpainting. I'm going to try this on my next minis..that have hair.))

One thing to note is that if you paint acrylic over oils you risk it cracking in the far future, this isn't as likely with miniatures as it is with a canvas and thick oil, but it can happen. It might not have happened to you, but it can happen. Even if you varnish, tho I hear a method that can work is to varnish with a solvent based varnish then after it's dried a water based varnish. Like ink reactivating dried acrylic, just because something can happen doesn't mean it will for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's not a thing nor a risk and it's one of those things worth knowing. It most likely won't happen, most likely. Love the video btw, your end result looks stunning!

@@minibob9252 Nope, I'm just really knowledgeable on the subject. Unless we are talking about an oil wash which is mostly mineral spirits that evaporate, or you add some galkyd or liquin to your Oil paints to speed it up, it can take like up to 6 months to dry FULLY, if you painted a painting thickly then it takes over a year to two years to dry fully. Just because you can touch it and it doesn't smear doesn't mean it's not still releasing gases, why do you think it cracks? also it's not about a single varnish used for acrylics which are about the most easy medium to work with in terms of what varnishes. You need a varnish for the oil, then for the the varnish so you can then acrylic over it, and it's not recommended even then, but it's the best option for this. Ultimately the average miniature painter doesn't really care about the nitty gritty or patience. But if you hop on over to the oil painting community you'll find the sentiment of oil over acrylics, no acrylics over oil to be pretty much unanymous. Hell, try googling "can I paint acrylic over oil" I'd bet you'd get mostly results saying not to. Like rules of fat over lean as well as many other things, in this hobby, people don't care and wing it a lot after briefly watching a tutorial, it's why I like vince he almost always explains why things work the way they do and is always experimenting, learning, etc. Often enough when things go wrong for anyone else you'll find a topic about it explaining the process and people being like "weird, that doesn't happen to me" as everyone scratches their head. Just because you painted 10 models a certain flawed way and nothing happened doesn't mean it won't. Just like a person playing a buggy video game might not experience a single bug. Sometimes you gotta dis-encourage against bad habits before they form even if it isn't obvious why until something goes bad down the line. Like say when you are are months into a competition piece.

It's always a chance, that's why I give the full curing time with some heat lights to bonus (or the sun for short periods) and the varnish. Never had an issue even after years - but yes, if you aren't careful, it can happen. :)

Saturation lives in the mid-tone. Just had a ohhhhh moment. Things just started making more sense.

Another tip: acrylics and water soluble oils CAN be simply mixed. I'm still experimenting with uses.

1:19 small correction: cardboard is used to absorb the excess oil, not any (added?) white spirits. That being said, I don't use cardboard either. The persoon I look up the most when it comes to painting with oils on miniatures: Anton Fomenko doesn't, so I learned not to do it either. It does help with speeding up the drying time, but my thinking is that those oils are their for a reason.

As a pretty good baker (mostly bread, have at times apprenticed with some pretty good guys in Kansas, the point of origin for a ton of your wheat flour :P) even baking isn't as rigid as the popular idiom suggests. It's important to measure by weight versus volume for good reason but recipes aren't EXACTINGLY rigid lol. You don't want to be way out of lane or using antithetical tools to the purpose (I.e naan really needs yogurt)...but you can most certainly play around. I often don't use a recipe to make bread because I understand the dough. I pick a hydration level and whatever enriching things (anything besides the water flour salt yeast) and work and shape the dough accordingly. My mother just made a ton of shortbread biscuits to ice for holiday trays she distributes annually in town and I told her the test batch wasn't short (lacking shortening, aka it needs fat). "But I followed the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!" Cool. Increase the butter 50% (Also, get the best butter the store has because cheap American butter has kinda sucky butterfat content). She was scared to change the dough that much but afterward thought she made the best biscuits in all of her 70 years of life.

There are a couple products that can help speed up drying oils. Smhincke malbutter. And also shmincke and gambling has matt varnish (solvent based) - you can mix in a bit and it will matt and speed up drying. But mostly it important only for reds and cadmium colors - they might take up to a week of drying. Also it quite depends on oils brands, some more matt drying a bit faster.

I don't know if someones already said this but if you need to you can speed up the drying time of oils with a fast dry medium and/or use heat to speed up the curing time with a heater, fireplace or make a lamp box.

One thing of note that I think I went wrong early on: Use a larger brush than you think you need, and also try to find relatively stiff bristled one. I have some very cheap 30-in-a-bundle-for-four-bucks chinese synthetics that I've used, and looking at how easily you pulled away the paint, these brushes are way softer than those. Or it's just about the size, where in the smaller brush the bristles just don't support each other well enough. With the soft brushes I have, I need to get my oils to about as thin as my acrylics to have any hope of moving them around at all, at which point it becomes a balancing act to not make end up with just oil washing the whole mini with no substantial deposit of pigments anywhere but the crevices. Of course that is one way to approach the same issue, using the oils more like filters and glazes. You paint your base layers in with acrylics, then come in with the oils to just do the tiny dots of color and smooth them out. I can't remember who was weathering a tank/titan with that approach(might've been you), just dots of darker tones and grimes, then wiping them down until the desired level of use was achieved. Oils are so much fun, definitely a tool everyone should try out at least once. Entry level investment isn't too bad either, couple of bucks for the white spirit, 5-6 bucks a tube of paint that is a lifetime supply for most painters. Get yourself a white, black, red, green, burned umber and a magenta of some description, and you're ready to do 90% of what oils are really good for. 30ish bucks and you're set for life with the oils. And they're not that hard to sell forward if you don't like them too, parents want their kids to try out some oil painting and bam, set sold.

Yes, though with NMM, you often need 2-3 applications after curing to get the full contrast.

Ooooh, that's a lovely looking model, and I rather like the mixed media approach. Any recommendations for a dry palette for oils? I'm currently using sheets, and as handy as they are, I'd prefer something a little more solid, as well as reusable.

I often use a marble tile I got for a few dollars from the hardware store. Easy to scrape and clean, no drama. That or for small jobs, a metal well palette.

As always, gorgeous paint job Vince :D. Looking up info regarding oil painting I've seen many times the thick over thin (or fat over lean) rule but I do not know whether or not this applies to miniature painting since we do not use that much paint. Thus, based on the video, I'd say that you only dabbed the brush in white spirit every once in a while, just to keep the paint with a thick but more or less fluid consistency. Am I correct? Thanks a lot for your videos!

You are correct.

Loved this! I’ve got some oils, but only had the courage to use them as thin washes so far, however this video has encouraged me to take the next step. Quick question; you have two metal cups you dip your brush into between mixing paints. Can you enlighten me as to what they are?

Sure, one is just for clean white spirits for thinning, one is for rinsing and cleaning.

@@VinceVenturella That’s great. Thank you!

Great video, thank you for sharing with your usually great explanations! I have been thinking of oil paints recently, so this came at a great time! This may be an obvious answer, but have you used oils to start with the NMM process to get some smooth blends out of the gate? Then go to acrylics for the bright and edge highlights? Also, what oil paint brands do you recommend?

@VinceVenturella

Yes, it can be a good base, but most of the key with NMM is the contrast, and you either need a second pass or you need to puch it up with Acrylics. For Oil paints, I like the Winsor & Newton artist paints.

Dear Vince, i painted something metallic and used oil paint over it. I do not want to varnish for the metallic effect. I assumed, if I let them dry long enought, to highlight with acrylic should not be a problem without varnish? Always happy to know your opinion. Cheers!

You'll have to let them fully cure, and it will be tricky, but it can be done.

I think im ready to cross over into and start using oil paints, which brand is recommended? i was leaning torwards windsor and newton because it's easy to get ahold of.

Yep, thats just fine, perfectly reasonable place to start

I've been going through your back catalog and watching all of your oil painting videos because I just picked up a set of Golden's Open acrylic line. Supposedly, they work like oil paints, so I was curious to see how they worked on some minis. Have you considered doing a review for that line of paint? I've only found reviewers who paint on canvas, but so far, the feedback has seemed overwhelmingly positive.

I know this question doesn't pertain to the topic at hand, but how do you keep your metallic paints from drying on the pallet so fast? I picked up the vallejo metal silver as per your recommendation in that metals video and it's been a blast painting with it but I always lose about half of that 1 droplet of paint because it dries so fast. Only solution that comes to mind is to just open the bottle and grab paint from there but since it's so bubbly, at least in my bottle, I pick up a lot of extra that just goes into the paper towel. Thank you for your time!

I use a little dropper palette area to minimize surface area (i.e. don't put it on the flat surface, put it in a concave well) and I always do a few drops. It will dry after some time, no way around that other than working quickly sadly.

@@VinceVenturella I will put a brush under my cup next time I'm painting with it. And yeah, I might have to plan for speed and sloppiness for first passes and then be more controlled for the 2nd pass. If only trims and whatnot were separate parts so I can just blast them with the airbrush.

Excellent video, as always, Vince! Now that Newsh is here, how would that + inks or acrylics work for this purpose? (skin/blending)

@VinceVenturella

Probably not as well, I haven't tried it for this purpose, but you need to work thick, and newsh is still thinning to some degree.

Thx for the video. I use oils from time to time on my minis, butthe biggest issue for me is the solvent, even "odorless" thinner is annoying and I have to wear a breathing mask

@VinceVenturella

Yes, I know some individuals can be more susceptible to the odor, and that is tough.

I can't believe I didn't try working the colors with a dry clean brush!!! I've been beating my head against the wall wondering why everything was such a mess! It should be noted that the cheap oils from Walmart have a TON of oil in them and need to be laid on a dry surface first - the artist grade oils are 100% worth it and the insane vibrance is indescribable by comparison

Im using oils on a character with a very sunny skin tone. What's a good shadow color for it? I've done test fig after test fig and i cant seem to get it right.

I am always a fan of Alizaran Crimson mixed with varying degrees of payne's grey into our existing skin tone. You can also use a little darker purple colors mixed with some dark umber.

I did a mini test tonight with a few basic colors i had on hand and found that i kept "dry brushing" (blending step) down to the primed base coat to the point where it was obviously visible, as i was just testing i admittedly did not have any sort of value on the base coat it was just straight black, but wanted to ask if this was due to me possibly just not using a thick enough swab of oil, or just dry brushing too much. or if it was just more obvious since it was painting directly over a black primed miniature. Thanks for the video it was inspiring as always!

So it can often be good to Have a base color underneath to avoid this. But you can also add additional paint or just smooth more softly (softer brush, lighter touch)

Also, it can be good to at least have a zenithal, never go over black.
