Dear friends,
My name is Milan and welcome in my White Wardrobe. Yes, wardrobe. At the beginning we, me and my hobby, were in a room. A table, a chair, a lamp etc. But with family is it not possible any more. Because I have a great wife, we decidet to build a white wardrobe designed for my hobby.
I usually focus on historical miniatures, figures and busts painted by oil colours but sometimes I paint and build other plastic models. If you like this hobby or you are just curious and want to watch my videos, you are welcome.
Enjoy my videos and welcome in my White Wardrobe.

Beautiful work, as always, and Great advice too. Thanks for those captions...
Thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate it.
I assume you use magnifying glasses
Yes, I am using magnifying glasses...now for almost the whole work...my eyes are already tired...the age ;o)
So nice and interesting new production. Thank you for sharing in advance. See you😊
Thank you for your comment and you are welcome🙂
More high fantasy please.
Thank you. I am sorry, but I prefere historical miniatures....fantasy is full of internet😉👍
May want to use a 0.5mm mechanical pencil though
This is also an option to paint heraldry. I haven't tried it yet...😉👍
Brilliant idea 💡
Thank you.
Cool 🖌
Thank you.
As always, it's fascinating to watch you work; educational as well.
Thank you very much.
What have you found to be the best brushes to use for fine detail with oils?
My favorite brands are W&N, Raphael and Rosemary&Co.
@@milandufek8151 thank you
Awesome Paint Job
Thank you.
Stupid, boring video.
Good work
Thank you.
Great job. Thanks for your lessons. I am learning from your work.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Hello, Milan, First of all, a big thank you for all your videos and advices! Your work is really amazing. Maybe you already answered this question… I guess your videos are accelerated. Just to have an idea, at which speed are they? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hello Marc, thank you for your comment. I am glad you like my videos. I usually speed up the video at 2x...sometimes 3x.
Thanks much for posting this video. How long do you let the primer cure before you begin painting.
Thank you Jeffry for your comment. I usually let the primer dry for 30-45 minutes. Sometimes even an hour. Depends if I have other pieces in the works...
Mr Dufek hello 👋 to you, one question is it the same dry brush you used for the whole face to do the blending
Hello Steven, Yes, this is an ordynary flat brush I us for blending oil colour. There is no need to have an expensive brush.
really wondweful painting, have you gone to art school? is this figure a polish lancer?? trying to find reference for it before i start mine. thank you always a pleasure watching you work.
Thank you very much. I don't have any art school. I take oil painting classes... Yes, this is polish lancer. Good luck, this is beautiful piece for your collection.
Good afternoon Milan, that was a outstanding paint finish on the shield, you have such a great talent and a very steady hand, best regards from Australia.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Hi, I'm assuming your 'Tac it' is the same as our 'Blu tack' here in the U.K?
Hello, No, this is different. Find Faber-Castell Tack-it. It is a special rubber...
@@milandufek8151 Thank you.👍
I can't clearly see the codes/colours on the displayed bottles bottom corner. 😢
I am sorry. Acrylic paints are not very important, just the shade is enough. They will be covered with oil paint and this can change the resulting colour tone.
Thank you
Beautiful piece! Following your tutorial, what is your drying strategy? Do you thin the paints, let each layer dry etc.
Thank you very much. There are many myths surrounding oil paints. They stink, take a long time to dry, are shiny...and other nonsense. Mostly from people who don't use oil paints at all... I work with a small amount of paint. The base is always matte (acrylic/enamel doesn't matter). Sometimes I prepare the paint - I suck up the preservative oil. As a thinner, I use linseed oil, AK thinner for enamel - odorless, White Spirit. I let each layer dry for the next day (sometimes more days - it depends on the color used). I'm certainly not in a hurry, it's not a race. Oil paints are about layers. I thin oil paints as needed. Sometimes not at all and sometimes quite a bit. It really depends on what I want to achieve, depict, paint...
For me, Life Miniatures and Sang-Eon is a cut above everyone else in miniature sculpting. A bust of the late queen has been has been on my mind for years and I even emailed LM back in Nov of 2022. Sang-Eon graciously responded that he had already started a bust of the young princess, and here we are. I will savor the joy I’ll it’ll bring me painting this one and it will be my 5th LM bust. My other absolute favorites are JFK and Sir Winston Churchill. The completed young Elizabeth will park nicely next to my Churchill. Thanks, Milan! 🫡
Thank you for your comment. I totally agree with you. I consider LM as my top 3 company. Great ideas, great sculpting and great casting quality. It is always a pleasure to paint LM pieces. It sure was a good idea to write LM about the young queen. I also have an idea, so I'll probably write an email :o)) I hope to post a video of the bust painting of the young queen soon. Thank you and regards M.
video goes too fast
Thanks, it's just compressing a few hours into a few minutes.
Everything about this video and about your work is great, but the freehand coat of arms blew my mind. I can draw OK on a flat surface, but such small details on such an uneven canvas. Amazing!
Thank you very much. I really appretiate your words. I am happy you like my painting style.
Brilliant video and great music 😉🤩
Thank you very much, Anna.
Very good. I find it very refreshing to see a workflow that is very different. Wonderful freehand as well
Thank you very much. I am glad you like my video and painting style.
Great! Can you give us some more informations about colours that you use? Which ones are acrylic and wich oil? It's seem that Oil are always for shadows and acrilics for light and for the bases. It's right?
Thank you for your question. Acrylic paints are on a wet palette. I use them as base colours under oil paints. Oil paints are on a grey glass palette. I use them for highlights, shadows, tones... Sometimes I go back to acrylic colours to highlight some things, underline...
Wow die ist echt der Hammer. Sehr schöne Arbeit von dir🤘🏻👍🏻Ein Meisterwerk Mfg Olli
Vielen Dank. Ich freue mich, dass dir das Video und das Gemälde gefallen.
That freehand is insane!
Thank you very much.
Absolutely incredible.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful, as always. Brilliant free-hand work on that tunic crest. our skills are far too good for me to ever match.
Thank you very much. I am happy you like ma painting style.
Thank to you! Great art!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
True master !
Thank you, I am glad you like it.
Your control and use of colors and mediums are just amazing. This one is a stunner! Well done.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Beautiful work! I love the lighting on the beard. Are you using synthetic bristles for the fine details?
Thank you very much. All my brushes are natural...no syntetic...
Amazing work ! You truly are an great artist !
Thank you very much🙂
Do you ever thin your oil paints for the face (before glazes)?
Thank you very much. It all depends on the result I want to achieve. I don't thin much with the first layer. I start adding thinner when I paint filters, tones or glazes.
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, Sergey.
Fabulous work 👏👏👏👍
Thank you.
