- I remember the first time I used a wash when painting models. I was probably 9 or 10, and it blew my mind. Witchcraft. It's such an effective technique, and often overlooked in modern "professional" miniature painting. Some consider it cheating. I consider it AWESOME. If you're a beginner, I hope you find this useful! I wish someone had showed me this when I was starting out.

Therapist: unshaded warboss can't hurt you
Unshaded warboss
What Warboss? There is only a floating grot in this video...

I'm loving the colour scheme in this series of shorts
Great idea using the same model for these so we can see it progress through the steps
I moved away from using washes recently, I just found that starting from a darker base coat and building up gives a more striking effect
Yeah manually painting shades and highlights gives a better look in my opinion.
I have been using it straight from the pot that explains the stain lines. Thank you for this tip
You can also add a bit of isopropyl to further cut the surface tension
Breaking the surface tension of the water is very important. I've had very thin paint bead up on a model, and when it dries it looks like water damaged paper. I plan on using acrylic thinner/medium more moving forward.
Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna try this too!
Wow i learned so much in such a short video
The creation of one’s own wash was a nice little bonus I didn’t see coming . Love it! Thank You! Great Work!
You know i actually like the unshaded one, it looks fun and cartoony
Ok, just want to make sure you know, something about your editing style, your voice, and your minis, makes mini painting the most appealing hobby in the planet.
This is literally the first good video I’ve seen on washes. I have so much trouble with them and this was super helpful. I wish we could save shorts to our favorites
You can, if you find the short in your watch history you can add it to any playlist you like
Like the video, it'll be auto added to the liked videos playlist so you can watch it at any time. It will load it as a regular CZcams video as opposed to a short though.
He's finally painting the Warboss in Mega Armour!!
Love the paint scheme soo much i have subliminally started painting my orks this way!!!
Really enjoying the shorts, thank you
I recommend a droplet of medium in your washes in addition to water and surfactant (soap). This keeps it working like a wash you might buy
Says the guy with the cleanest base coat!!!
Thank you so very much for showing how to make your own washes, I’m too poor to buy good acrylic paint, so I have the usual poopy ones, and I have 0 access to washes, and now I know how to make my own, thank you sooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That close up of the nuln oil is basically smut for hobbyists
Wash paints are my favorite paints. Didn't know I can make my own. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial on how to shade/wash. Now i'm just wondering how that Grot keeps hanging in the air
Love the shortz!
Thank you for that tip I didn’t know no you need to been down wash pains😂😮
I’m starting to move towards enamels like streaking grime through an airbrush and then working off with a qtip and white spirits. Much easier to correct a mistake than acrylic.
This paint scheme reminds me of 80's He-Man action figures for some reason
Awesome color scheme I'm currently doing my first army as purple orks
i don’t thin washes really but i also like my models to look super grungy an oily so i just like put wash everywhere and then use different washes in some areas for color variation and specific colors in certain areas for different types of oil/grease/rust/grime like theres always at least 3 layers of washes on em, then after I drybrush with leadbelcher to make scratches, and use a somewhat dry brush to restore some of the color to areas i want to be a bit brighter, though usually i do that ahead of time with the darkening of the washes in mind, tho i also haven’t painted many models yet cause it takes me ages to get around to it but the ones i have turned out really good imo
Army Painter quickshade washes are basically acrylic wood stains. That's why they also sell them in metal pots. Hardware store wood stains are way cheaper, if you're going to dip your entire minis!
Ork are probably the easiest to paoint starting out because if you mess up you can mess it up a little more and just make it as if the ork painted the armor
As a dyspraxic painter - yay!
I wanna try this now
Guys, we did it…
We found a purple Ork!!
This is basically how I used to paint when I was 14. Paint everything the color I wanted it and hit it with a wash. I know slap chops all the rage right now, even though it's not anything new...
This is OG speed painting in my opinion.
But there's no mini
Excellent
Adding water to a wash I never imagined
Do you remember the old colour 'AMETHYST PURPLE' love this colour for gems.
Man I really thought I could use washes straight from the pot 😂 somehow thin your paints keeps being the most important step
Can you do a tutorial/guide on how to make sure the wash doesn't dry shiny
Using a matte varnish can get rid of the shine for you at the end of the painting process
It really depends mostly on the brand of wash, though it will generally be shinier if it is applied more thickly.
@@ianplunkett7104 thanks that will be great help
@@collegeoffoliage6776 thanks ill try that next time
Once you apply the final clear coat, the shine should go away. You are using a final clear coat, aren't you?
I now understand why my shades are staining!
So you can make shade paint with acrylic paint and a flow improver?
Pretty much!
do you thin the nuln oil?
mine never looks that transparent its almost as if I just used regular black paint and makes everything look like I dropped it in in muck
Thin it with medium not water. Water makes it stain the model more in spots you don’t want shade at all.
im so offended at you calling my stain lines ugly 😂
Okay, cool.
Uh, dishwashing soap to the water. I’ll have to remember that.
In the case that o don't have a sepia wash, wich colors should I use to make it?
How am I seeing a purple ork?
What do u mean by dish soap like can any be fine cus I feel like my dawn might not work lol
I really struggle with washes, they go everywhere BUT the recesses.
I always forget the the lil dab of dish soap when making my own.
Add *dishsoap* ...!!? 😮
Ya know, "fairy liquid" actually sounds like it could be a citadel colour...
Help, I painted my ork purple and now I can’t find him
Looking forward to your next CZcams short, Guy.
"Tired of plain grey plastic? Why not try PAINTING your models. Just open the pot, put your brush in the paint - any colour you like! - thin it on the palette with a bit of water, then apply it to your model. I think you'll be really impressed by your results!"
I mean, we all started somewhere! It's important to not forget there are thousands of absolute beginners starting the hobby each and every day. I'm just looking out for them :)
“Tired of fl🦆t boring paint jobs”
The screen is empty, what did he demondtrate the washes on?
im tired of you being so awesome >:(
So I accidentally bought a white wash paint.... What can I use that for?
Wait I missed it… what’s the point of the dish soap?
Instructions unclear, spilled 10 gallons of Nuln oil.
Where's the mini? I just see a base
Wdym shading? I dont see anything to use shading on
Dish soap? Which brand?
He's talking about painting a miniature, but there are no miniatures in the video
Why did you put a ton of paint on just a base ?
Guy, should I just slop it on all over the model or just in the detail areas, lots of different tips online
They usually do best on detailed areas compared to flat panels.
Depends on the look you’re after - if you want just recesses to be darkened then be selective. But if you want the whole thing to be a little darker, especially in recesses, hit the whole model with a thinned wash
Waitasec
He's purple, that means I can't see 'im! What da zog?!
Does somebody know a similar blue purple color?
Just do a zenithal highlight then you don't need to worry about shading
Washes are like liquid detail
bro is painting at thin air.
Why is he painting air
Dish soap ???
Use medium instead of water
Stop distracting me from college
Purple ork?!
Or u could just dip the whole mini in the bottle
Why are you just painting the air?
You can’t even see the mini
But at some point you must learn mixing colors, highlighting, and blending.
You don't have ti become a pro, but you just do justice to yourself to try.
Just buy a medium for $5 and make a proper wash
dish soap. huh
Used to follow. But then you said “of course their where always female custodos”
I've never even spoken about Custodes on the channel, try harder to be offended x
I’m sorry but that color scheme is just not it
Don't use shade paints from gw they are horrible. do anything else.
NOBODY LIKE THE VIDEO, WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THE FUNNY NUMBER, PRAISE TO SLAANESH!!!!
