I haven't graduated from minis to terrain yet, but I'll keep this in mind for when I do!
This gives me an idea....I should play around making some washs for minis 🤔
great idea. I make washes for terrain but haven't tried gel-matte-medium. I will give it a shot.
its been a game changer for me, as I often struggle to find a nice matte finish when using cheaper paints in my washes. hope it works as ell for you
Lots of questions! 1. when to use colours in a wash other than brown-black? 2. highlight dry-brush before or after? 3. when to use a simple & easy 'wash' over a spit-blend or '2-brush blend'? I wanted to get into painting miniatures and i honestly don't know who to trust - i don't even know if it is best to base-coat black, white or colour match to area (pre-blocking?). If any of those make a fun &/or useful video, please help. If not, a link will do (with thanks).
Hey, and welcome to the hobby. It'll take some experimenting to get used to your personal favourite ways of painting but to answer your questions.
1. I have a collection of washes from Citadel that i often use on top of particular colours for particular effects. But a basic black wash can really add a lot of detail back into any miniature, and for beginner thats all you will need.
2. You can highlight before or after, it will just give youna different effect, i personally tend to highlight first and then go back if my wash took out too much of the colors i wanted or made the model too dark. Particularly on brighter/clean colors.
3. A wash can always be used over blends and can do a really nice job of helping to bring those colors together even more.
My recemndation for miniatures wpuld be getting a nuln oil(black) and maybe an agrax earthshade (brown) to start for minis. And slowly build uo your collection as you learn how they work. I have so many types now i might have to put together a video showing how they all work. Im currently working on a custom miniature and ill be using a lot of different shades on him, so keep an eye out for that video coming soon.
If you have any more questions, let me know. I'll do my best to help out anyone in this awesome hobby community!
@@SebMakesStuff Amazing answer, my thanks!

I like to add Vanish

I've read a few recipes that like to add some kind of washing liquid. I never noticed a lot of difference when I added it to mine but I might have to experiment a bit more because it's seems.like a popular addition

Shouldn't you add a surfactant?
I have tried with some dish soap in the past as others have recommended. But Ive never found it to make much difference on my larger terrain pieces. Probably more important for miniatures so you don't loose your detailed paint job, but this recepie works just fine for the bigger terrain builds that I have worked on.
Inspiring and so full of love. It would be easy for you to get your subs up with "Promo SM"!!
Thankyou.
Never heard of it, i may have to look into it
