    You will find undiluted enamels can match acrylic layering. You can use any size of brush with enamel dry-brushing. Finish the deepest details first and then mask them with Blu-tac. You can once your dry-brushing skills with enamels matures you can get a glazing effect as well. The biggest issue we have today for mini painting is that acrylics have become the default goto paint. All types of paint have their strengths and weaknesses. Acrylics while improving over the years, its weaknesses remain dry-brushing. Such as chalking. When it comes to layering and blending oil paints are superior to acrylics. However, with oils, beginner painters will find the range of colours limited. On the other hand, in 10 years, acrylics may very well be going to be the paint tape at the rate it's improving. What I'm staying here is that style, technique, and paint type should be balanced to the desired outcome. The only issue is that we have been brainwashed into believing that acrylics are the best choice for everything and forget that nearly all techniques were developed before acrylic miniature paints were invented. Don't think I'm a hater of acrylics as I own more acrylic paints than any other type, but I'm a big believer in the right tool for the right job. It was a very interesting video. Thanks

Also, well done for living up to the vegan stereotype and making sure you told everyone you are a vegan. Your ethics are irrelevent to the your question about using plastic brushes. I am curious if sable is more ethical than supporting the petrochemical industry...

    @KelRiever Před 6 měsíci

    Huh. First off, love all the videos, this one included. Second, I fundamentally like Artis Opus though I have some disagreements with a few things Byron sometimes said, which of course is fine.
    There are a lot of 'dry brushing is no longer trash' videos, this one clearly knowledgeable. I probably think it is overdone, I think a painter should know by now any technique done right with practice saves time and looks better. It is true, once, or for amateurs, drybrushing is considered trash but I really think that is no longer the case among people who paint a bit. I say that, meanwhile, we're onto the 'slap chop is trash' train, which is essentially saying the same thing.
    Spend time painting minis and learn, they're going to look better. Phone it in, and they can look okay and be done, just not as good. Basic, I suppose, right?

      Honestly make up bushes don't work so well for smooth hydrated drybrushing. They are perfect for doing it the super dry chalky way but if you try building up layers it's gonna suck pretty bad. The hairs aren't dense enough so instead of coverage you end up just building texture with bad coverage.

    I’m sorry as I am sure this will make me unpopular but I personally do not like dry brushing at all and I do think it’s trash for miniatures, the affect from far away is great but the texturing it causes (no matter which method you use to dry brush) just looks ugly and ruins a model (IMO). As much as I would never say this to a person who has painted a model using dry brushing and is very proud of it, inwardly I would always think if only they didn’t dry brush it would have been a lovely model. For me dry brushing is only good for bases and scenery. Sorry
