- In this colour theory video we take a look at greens that tend towards yellow, and how we can use yellow to achieve different warm greens when when laid over a foundation of phthalo green, indigo, and perylene black.

It's just plain crazy that this channel, that these considered and carefully explained vids have only garnered 1k or so subscribers. The quality of information and explained technique, it's direct applicability to really practical, really fast and really effective mini painting demonstrated on the most popular minis of the day should have reached and excited tens of thousands of painters.
The sheer density of information means I have to watch the colour theory vids three or more times to absorb all that's taught.
These are pure painting gold. Black, white, red, yellow, these hold no more fear for me, bright and saturated, grim dark and deeply moody, I've followed along and tried them all. This stuff is full of answers to fundamental shadow, highlight and specular issues that make these colours a struggle.
I'm so lucky to have found them given the algorithm ignores them.
((you might notice this comment cut and pasted on all of these vids because it bears saying and I can't put it plainer.
plz never stop making vids, i love it and we need a good concise (well, compared to the Wappel) tutorial series for mini oil painting.
One "aha" for me was when you said "blend by taping it with the side of the brush". Maybe a video on brush control? Or cover it during a faq?
Like the videos, hope I can manage to learn the black arts of oil painting minis one day 😂
hardest thing about using oils? thinning the paint and getting it to stick- oil painting becomes enjoyable and so much easier once those things are understood. Every video does 2-3 minutes on the subject and expects people to grasp the concepts instantly.
Happy to do a video on the topic if that's what you're asking. What about it gives you the most trouble?
@@mendedbrushstudio nuffink :-) I'm fine now but when I first switched from acrylics it took me ages to get the 'hang' of oils.
I have been scouring trying to find a miniatures oil paint tutorial for weeks. There’s some that cover painting busts and larger fantasy minis, but I couldn’t find anything demonstrating on wargaming minis. Thank you so much for putting this up. Your explanations and demonstrations were exactly what I needed. You’re the best!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! If you're looking for other creators, James Wappel (wappellious) has a lot of amazing and instructive content. He's a big inspiration to myself and many others using oils for wargaming.
Great work as usual.
love your work! Very helpful!
love these videos - was a great help, thank you
Very nice tutorial. Very interesting and accessible for people who are maybe interested in oil paints. I havent seen them on a space marine before either so it was very nice to see how oils work at "mini" scales.
Damn these videos are inspiring. The results are spectacular and we even get colour theory thrown in. Such a relaxing pace makes it so easy to digest the content. For a new channel, you are a natural.
Thanks a lot! Glad you're enjoying the content.
another fantastic vid! excellent info delivery is very digestible for beginners (such as myself) makes this a fantastic resource.
This series is super helpful, thanks mate, any plans for doing one on grey? I got me a Lot of space wolves to paint.
I've got white and black in the pipeline, but grey's on the list for sure. Payne's Grey is a nice blue-grey that can be a good starting point for Wolves, especially Heresy-era. Indigo's another option if you wanted something a bit more blue.
Not enough creators are just using oils for mini painting, it looks pretty fast if you know what to look for.
Even my poor airbrush has been relegated to primer and varnish duty since I discovered oils.
I was wondering if you could help with using oils on an actual airplane model, or tank. I love your work, you’re a great teacher.
Thanks! I plan on doing a couple of videos on vehicles at some point. The principles are largely the same, but brushstroke management can be a bit tougher on large, flat surfaces. I like to use a primer that more closely matches my main colour, and stick with more opaque pigments of oil paint for those initial layers, to make it easier.
Really loving these videos. Has anyone done a suggested list of paints for our use?
I touch on it a bit in my video on getting started with oils. A W&N Winton starter set is pretty affordable and more than enough to get going with. From there, W&N Artists' range and Gamblin are both solid and reasonably priced, with Williamsburg being another great option if you wanted to spend a bit more. There are plenty of other good brands out there, but those are the ones I'm most familiar with.
James Wappel will often test out different paints and brands on both his Twitch stream and Patreon, and is, in my view, generally the best resource for using oils in mini painting.
Hi, really enjoy your videos. I also paint with oils, but struggle in some aspects and your videos are a great inspiration. My next project also involves a lot of greens so this is perfect.
Do you just use transparent oilpaints?
Thanks, I'm glad they've been helpful! I use both transparent and opaque paints, though some colours will tend towards one over the other. Greens can be pretty transparent out of the tube, so shoring them up with another, more opaque colour can really help with that.
Could you do Orcs I having a hell of a time. Pls
What happens if your base or pre glaze is purple? I was thinking of oil painting some plague marines. but... ive never used oils before lol. Thank you for the video!!
Is green a secondary colour, though?
Our eyes has three types of chromatic sensors, called cone cells, and one sensor that detects light in a wider band, called rod cells.
These three cone cells are most often called "red, green and blue", though that isn't very precise.
Any how, I heavily suspect that Green is a prime colour and that whenever you mix blue and yellow and get green there's much green in that blue and the yellow does not have "too much red", or not an orange-tint / warm yellow.
It's different additive mixing and substractive mixing. Mixing pigments doesn't work the same as mixing "light". RGB are tradicional primaries with additive mixing and CYM are usual primaries when mixing pigments. You can consider as a primary color whatever you want, the gamut of possible hues you will be able to get will be different depending on the primaries you select, being CYM the best primaries in the sense you can achieve a higher hue variety when mixing pigments.
@@droghtak"RGB are tradicional primaries with additive mixing and CYM are usual primaries when mixing pigments"
"usual" is the key word here. For additive mixing (light) we've got three cones: 'RGB' (though they're better names as 'LMS' (Long, Medium, Short).)
For subtractive mixing we need 2 ^ 3 = 8 "primaries": Black, RGB, CMY and White.
Or so it seems to me, from a mathematics stand point. (I am not at all a mathematician, I just know the basics).
