  • Good afternoon! Today I am explaining layering, stippling, and glazing. The best way to go about layering your colors, finding the right glaze consistency, and overall how to achieve smooth blends and transitions of color for your next project.

    Do you think some paints blend better than others?

      Scale 75 seem to wet blend more easily than VMC or Citadel.

      I think vcm is good for layering some are citadel I'd say is also good for layering if you use the contrast paints after your 1st layer of the base coat

    This is such an incredibly good tutorial, the camera angles on the model and the shots of mixing paint made everything super clear. I feel like I finally get how to use my palette and what I can expect my models to look like when I'm part way done!

    Just wanted to say this was one of the easiest-to-follow painting tutorials I've ever seen. I especially welcomed the construction-paper demonstration of how to make color lead into each others, whether you're going lighter or darker on different parts of a miniature. Thanks so much.

      Her thought process to show her audience visually the process of high and low light, color gradients….

Much appreciated will share video with my beginner younger artists,

  • @13Robzilla
    @13Robzilla Před 2 lety +4

    OK, you just blew my mind. I've seen plenty of people work up from the darkest shadow. I've been starting with basing in 1st shadow, adding deepest shadow then painting up the mid-tone through highlights. The concept of starting with the topmost highlight or closer to it never even occurred to me. Thank you for opening doors.

  • @JohnQBrown

    The separate mix puddles are important when you work with acrylics. Good that you brought it up. Back in the day I mixed my paint to a brownish mess.
    That's how I personally used to fuck up my miniatures.

You are touching on the really important aspects in an efficient and chronologically very effective way. And I agree with everything your doing! To the point where I think I may have taught you. But I probably didn’t. It’s a big world. I hope many of those who are looking for great tips and scholar - how to’s are find you & your videos. Great work. Really great work. I feel I am listening to an art techniques teacher with many , many years teaching experience. You deserve success.

I was struggling a bit with the layering, but now I see how layering and glazing work together to get a nice gradation! One of my practice minis has a big robe and it is too dark. I couldn't figure out how to get it to lighten up without just random streaks/areas of different shades. Now I get it! Except I need to buy me some glazing medium! 😄
