- In this colour theory video we explore grey, which can be made from any colour given enough desaturation. Unlike our exploration of white and black, we'll be leaning more into complementary opposites and how we can adjust our ratios to achieve different types of grey which we can use to make our minis more visually interesting.

As a Painter that just took his first step into oil painting miniatures, I want to thank you for your videos! They make all the difference going from Acrylic to oils. Cheers!
Amazing. Thanks for sharing
Your videos are fantastic! You're up there with James Wappel for Oil Painting advice❤
Excellent timing. Wanted to get some Charcharodons Astra
Your oil painting videos help so much
Complimentary colors for grey... Oh, that is something I wish I'd learned years earlier!
Same. It really is a game-changer.
As a side note, you were channeling non-metallic metal when re-establishing the shadows. Probably because of the partial sheen of the oils, but very effective. Looking great as always.
It's so easy to attempt with oils that I have a hard time not doing it, but it's a stylistic choice for sure. Appreciate the support as always.
Great Video! Any chance of doing camouflage patterns in oil? Curious on how to do patterns on Imperial Guard and for Flames of War.
How do you strip your models? I noticed the old paint under the primer. :)
It's interesting. When you wipe away the preglaze you are left with texture and look of a stone. A few streks and so on and you'd have nice stone statues.
Lately I've been using 'L.A.'s Totally Awesome' but most of the usual products for stripping minis should work fine.
Absolutely. You can also get some decent weathering effects with it, too.
Think this is my favourite yet, can't wait till I get time to try oils out. One question is why do you add the blacklines first? I'd have thought doing a gloss coat at the end then coming back in with the oils would give a sharper look, then a matt coat (after any decals etc ofc)
You can, and I sometimes do come back after a mini's dried to put in some sharper lines if they're needed. But I also like doing it mid-flow as it helps me get a better sense of the whole piece.
@@mendedbrushstudio That's a good point, can see it's especially useful when your developing a colour scheme like you are in the video's.
I'm curious about darker primers I can't picture how to get "highlights" with a darker primer than the pre glaze.
You need to pay a bit more attention but if you do your initial highlight brushing from the direction of your light source you can get a similar sort of sketch going.
So... thick on thin, and thin on thick. So if it sits for a few hours, I need to go thin paints?
I hate to say it depends but it depends. But if your paint isn't adhering and you know you haven't used much thinner, then you probably have room to add some.
The adhesion section of this video hopefully explains it better: czcams.com/video/eke7SlBaZ4Q/video.html
