    My wife is a more traditional artist and we did some general color mixing palates with miniture paints versus artist acrylics. It basically converted me to using artist arcylics for miniture painting. She was stunned that miniture paints don't say what is in them usually and that the reason why I wasn't happy with the colors mixing was because there was too much white or black in the paints.

      This is good to know - I was in the local arts/crafts store last night and saw that Golden has several different lines of their awesome acrylics now. I used to use them almost exclusively when I was painting canvases. Yesterday I saw their "new" high flow acrylics and wondered how good those would be for painting miniatures. I think I might have seen theses So Flats as well - I just didn't pay attention to them not knowing if they would be any good for miniatures, too. I am really new to the miniature painting hobby, so I didn't buy any of them yet - I wanted to stick with known miniature paints for a while before venturing out away from the norm. But I might be more inclined to venture out now based on this comment about mixing paints! Thanks!

Then I tried to do limited palette with Vallejo but it was the worst: everything came out grey. When Kimera came out I never looked back.

    Hey Ninjon, awesome video! I love Golden acrylic paints, but just a heads-up, Cadmium and Cobalt pigments are toxic (they're heavy metal pigments) so should be handled with some care. Figured that would be worth mentioning. That paint job looks AWESOME btw!

    • @vincentcozza5813
      @vincentcozza5813 Před 2 lety

      As far as I know, the pigments in "cadmium" acrylic yellows and reds aren't actually the cadmium pigment. They just use the name to describe the hue they have created. For instance, Prussian Blue, the pigment the paint color is named after, is insoluble in acrylic medium, so any Prussian Blue acrylic paint you have is actually another, very similarly colored, pigment or combination of pigments.

    • @GoldenPaints
      @GoldenPaints Před 2 lety +20

      @@vincentcozza5813 - just a clarification, when we include the word "Hue" at the end of a color name it is an indication that the color is intended to replicate the color space of a particular pigment or color (ex. hazardous pigments and/or historical fugitive colors we are making with lightfast modern pigments). When you do not see "Hue" after a Cadmium or Cobalt color, the paint has actual Cadmium or Cobalt pigment. The common chemical name is usually on the label well to inform artists about what they're using. The Cadmium colors in SoFlat are all actual Concentrated Cadmium Zinc Sulfide pigments. The High Flow and Fluid color lines, by contrast, do not have any genuine Cadmium colors to discourage artist from spraying them. You should see "Hue" in the names within those color lines.

  • @zebraloverbridget
    @zebraloverbridget Před 2 lety +3

    As an extra tip for working with acrylics: you can buy mediums and mix them with the paint you have. For example, I cannot do any realism without adding a slow dry medium to my paint. (I prefer oils but space and money restrictions mean I can't use them right now)
    You can probably buy any heavy body artist paint and then get a matte medium to mix with to get the same consistency as the Golden paint you have. Which is important since this line is less likely to have ALL pigments available but the standard line from them will. You might need to add a tad bit of water to get it flowing more or could also buy a flow medium to add in as well. Personally I just use water to get my acrylics to flow more though

    Great suggestion, I'll definitely try these out! To be fair, mixing paint for an army project, especially if it's an ongoing one, may not be the most efficient thing. I myself remember dreading paint mixing back in the early 2000s when I started doing this hobby stuff - you usually had only one or two brushfulls of mixed paint before it dried on your tile or piece of cardboard or old china plate. However, much of the complexity and problems of paint mixing in general is massively lessend when using a wet palette. On that thing, mixing the paint you've already got on there comes entirely naturally.

    Hi Jon! Loved this vid and the other content you do! I've learned a lot and enjoyed along the way! Sincerely top notch stuff.
    You might already know, but just in case and as a general PSA, I was looking at the Golden site earlier and saw that the SoFlat Titanium White was recently recalled for several failed batches in the 2 oz, 4 oz, and 16 oz. Looks like they were willing to replace product and or offer solutions from what I was reading, though that was back in December so I'm not sure what they are doing now.
    Maybe they got the batches off of the shelves before you got yours, and you may already know, but figured I'd mention it just in case. Also worth noting for anyone else who may have some and didn't know. The Golden site has more info in case anyone needs as a general PSA.
    Nice to see them willing to replace the product too. Good stuff. Really excited to try their stuff to try making my own paints, as well as their high flow acrylics.

    Normally I love your painting (far better than anything I could do, I'm not a fan of the way this model turned out. It's the face or the helmet, or whatever that is. Those yellow highlights make it look like, well, like a painted model. I love the green on purple in the lower half ... just something about those yellow highlights. But I'm new to painting so maybe it's just me.

    I've recently been interested in getting into mini painting, and I've been wondering if there were any artist paints that would work well as mini paints. (Because honestly a lot of the mini paints seem like a rip off compared to artist paints.) I'm glad to learn that there is!

    Love this video. I have been using the same tubes of golden open (titanium white and carbon black) for years and I love it. The thick and creamy texture makes them wonderful for mixing colors. Open has longer dry times, giving more time to work with blending. So… safety lol. Do NOT lick your brush with artist colors. Mini companies try to use non toxic colors in their paint ranges however artist colors don’t care. I.E cadmium is a toxic metal. That being said cadmium red is such a beautiful color so it makes sense why they keep using it.

  • @SigurdDecroos

    Love your content, you seem like you’re always searching for different ways to paint.
    I’d love you see you do a comparison paint job of brushes, basic cheap starter brushes from a hobby shop/craft store to the more pro ones you are using. Might be interesting to see how a cheaper brush is actually costing more in the long run.🤷‍♂️

    I am currently loving golden's fluid acrylics and had wondered about the soflat range, so Thank You for reviewing it. I'll be getting some of these. The occasional gloss finish being one of the few gripes I've had with the fluid acrylics. Before I began using them I thought mixing colours would be a hassle but it has become one of my favourite parts of the process. I feel like I am exploring and playing instead of what feels sometimes like painting by numbers. Y'all's mileage may vary.

    This topic was impeccably timely. I was on my way out to buy a bunch of Vallejo paints at my local hobby shoppe and wanted to check a few things online first. I saw this video in my feed and watched it before I left. I scratched the miniature paints from my list and hoped for the best at a few art stores close by. I came home with Cad Red Light, Pyrrole Red, Phthalo Blue, Bismuth Vanadate Yellow and one that I would have absolutely passed over - Yellow Green. Hoping to do them justice. Thanks for this tip.

    I've used a bunch of the soflat's for miniature painting for about 6 months. Payne's Grey is one of my favorite dark colors in the line, So is their Turquoise. The white is also far superior than just about any miniature paint line white.

    I started using Golden products back in art school and never looked back. In 1980, Golden started making paints in his family barn in NY, and as of 2021 his company is 100% employee owned. Their focus is on making affordable high quality artist paints with archival quality. This means that the pigments will not change or diminish over a set period of time. They are a fantastic company with great customer service and I’m happy you are finding ways to incorporate their products in our hobby! ♥️ (I do not work for them- I just love their paint!)

  • @lunahula
    @lunahula Před 2 lety +3

    Worth mentioning Golden: High Flow Acrylics, been using their Titanium white for miniature painting for a while, because it is very close in function to an acrylic ink and in white that means good enough coverage for blending and edge highlighting, without chalky results, also works well through an airbrush.

    • @fleetadmiralmatteo4123
      @fleetadmiralmatteo4123 Před 2 lety

      Be careful with artist grade paints through an airbrush. They often (usually) contain heavy metals which can be fairly toxic, more so when aerosolized. Most miniature-specific paints are blended using cheaper pigments, so it is less of an issue with those.
