- In this video we paint five bases that represent natural materials in different environments. We can use colour theory to help us represent different materials, times of day, and even the weather, to set an overall mood for our scene.

indeed wiping is a fine way to make the rim presentable
The forest is amazing. The way the yellow makes the leaves pop makes the whole look come alive.
man those look amazing. i'm still struggling with oils, but every time you release a video it gives me the urge to go back and try again
Keep going! I learn a little bit more every time I paint. It may take a few goes but it'll start to come together before long.
Dude, you are like a wizard. Thanks for another great video.
Also, I can't remember if you covered this before, but do you seal your minis with a varnish coat? If so do you need a specific one for oils? Also, if sealing, how long would be good to wait before attempting to do so? I'm experimenting with oils on some old GW metal minis, so I would usually seal them after painting with acrylics to try to avoid chipping.
Your usual varnishes will work fine. Oils tend to be more durable, but metal models being what they are it'd be a good idea. I've always been a fan of matte and extra matte, but they change the look quite a bit. Lately I've been experimenting with satin to try and preserve more of that lustre that oils give.
Your models should be touch-dry within a few days, but I've had some issues with varnishing that quickly. I'd wait a week at the absolute minimum, longer if possible.
Man, your videos provides so much inspiration for me! Thank you for your work and please, do continue!
Great examples and awesome explanation. Forest is my favorite but all of them are grand.
Brilliant!
Thanks for your amazing video 🙏
mindblowing!
Another great video! Certainly demystifying oil painting :)
Would love to see a video on skin tones.
Your oil tutorials are so amazingly good. I hope you keep them up and I hope you gain the subscribers you deserve. Thank you for the time you spend on this!
Thank you very much!
You make it look simple. Practice makes perfect clearly. The take home is these can be done in a few minutes. I guess it helps to have the picture in your mind as to the final result, and knowledge of that colour theory. As always, much appreciated
You can experiment a lot with oils as they're so fast and flexible. Often times I'll come in with a vague idea and futz around until I find something that works, like I did here. Colour theory just makes that process easier. Reference material also helps a lot, too. But yes, above all else just practice and have fun doing it!
@@mendedbrushstudio Indeed I will. Keep up the great content. It provides great inspiration
Love your work. Somehow inspiring and approachable.
I made a start and ended up with a stormcast that seemed very dull and muddy, going to give it another go but just had payday so ordered the radiant to add to my Gamblin starter set.
Mud becomes more likely the more you work the paint. It can be hard to resist the urge to keep blending once things start taking shape, but it can backfire. Keep at it, the Radiant's should help as they're pretty potent.
great work can you make a nmm tutorial
Love this video. I have a couple of questions if I may, my pre-glaze isn't leaving much behind, even when using highly staining colours like Indigo. Is there a particular branch of primer you recommend? Also how important do you think the staining is?
I've used a few primers from hardware store rattle cans to hobby ones and find they're pretty similar. Not all oil paints will stain well, but if even Indigo isn't leaving much behind then I'd try being gentler with the sponge and using less thinner.
That said, the staining aspect is more of a bonus and isn't critical. The Yellow Ochre I used on the sand in this video barely stains at all but still lubricates the area. The pre-glaze gives your layers something to build on, and having that thin layer of oil on the mini is more important for me than the strength of the stain.
@@mendedbrushstudio thank you for your response. Really helpful.
Hay man, bought some oils for my space marine and the oil doesn’t seem to be stick to my models
I’m been priming them but just doesn’t stain them like your do any ideas to why ?
Love the bases 👍
Having the same issue with a set of Pebeo oils. Brush on and straight back off again
What brand/colours are you using? Not every paint will necessarily stain, and some stain better than others, but most should leave a list a hint behind.
@@warhammer-neophyte I'm not familiar with that brand. Have you tried letting them sit for a bit? I find 15-20 minutes is usually enough for any paint that's going to stain to do so.
@@mendedbrushstudio It was a 20 tube starter set, so likely not a high grade. Have tried the dark shades and left them sit for 20 minutes and there is barely much left. Maybe the primer influenced the outcome. Used Stynylrez grey primer on some terrain. Would a white zenithal prime we a better base?
Perhaps I rubbed too hard as they were pipes and quite smooth. Considering getting van dyke brown, perylene black and indigo as the dark shades were poorly represented in the set.
@@warhammer-neophyte I've found that with some paints are very sensitive to pressure and will wipe off very easily even after waiting. You could try waiting for longer (risky), or try barely touching the model with the sponge. I use Stynylrez primers all of the time, so that may not be an issue. Also, I zenithal everything with white ink, although I'm not sure if this is completely necessary with Mended's techniques. I'm going to try comparing that in a while when college slows down.
Are those oil paints on a wet palette? I'm so confused
Oil paints on a piece of kitchen tile. I have a video on getting started if you'd like to know more:
