Finally....FINALLY.....someone takes the time to point out how important the AMOUNT of paint on the brush is when glazing!! So many painters out there just have it as a habit and forget to point it out! Great video!
As much as I love the massive amount of resource available on UA-cam, every now and then there’s a video that gives me a eureka moment as I learn something new or gain a new understanding of something I thought I already knew. This was one of those videos. Thanks a lot.
This one video revolutionized the way I paint. "Load it like a drybrush." Damn what a great tip. I really wish you made more videos, man. They are all amazing.
This was actually an incredibly helpful video. This is probably the third time I've commented on a UA-cam video in my life, so you've done a great thing here, dude. I've been painting over ten years and this has done more for me in glazing than anything else. Keep it up!
I think maybe I'm too late to the party to get a reply here but 2 things 1) awesome video. I'm new to miniature painting and am having a great time being totally crap and just trying things out.. ive been having real trouble with my glazing being all kind of patchy and chalky and rough looking and I'm almost certain now that its due to excessive paint on the brush. 2 and this is the question) if you always want to use the darker of the two colours you're blending then am I wrong to be basecoating in a dark colour and then utilising lighter mixes to then glaze in highlights? Your comment there sort of suggests that I ought to base in a light colour and then try to glaze in shadows, though I haven't seen a single painter doing that yet.. whats your advice on that? Thanks for the content man 😁
@@milkflavour82 Thank you for the kind words! You can start from a darker base and then glaze the highlights on and most people, as you said, do it. I just think it's easier to understand glazing when done with a darker color as it's easier for the painter to understand what went wrong. Once you know how to do it, you can do it from light to dark or dark to light.
@@MiniaturesDen thanks for the reply! Ahh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It is a lot easier to understand that way round.. I'll definitely have a go both ways and see what the results are like. Thank you for your help and once again thanks for the great content 😊
Vincenzo! I've watched so many videos on glazing and this is the only one that CLICKED. Really appreciate the effort with the video, especially including the bonus entertainment of hearing an Italian guy use "can't be arsed" like he'd been using it all his life 😂👌🏼
Finalmente una guida semplice ma efficace. In nessuna guida (anche quelle fatte da painter stranieri famosi come Miniac, Squidmar, ecc) si sottolinea la quantità di colore che è la chiave per ottenere un ottimo glaze. Piuttosto si parla sempre e solo di diluire molto. Complimenti davvero :)
You were not joking, this is indeed the best guide I have ever seen. Through trial and error, I had already realized that the most important fact is indeed the amount of paint, which is why in my head I sometimes call glazes 'wet brushing', but it's great to see a more concise and detailed explanation. In fact, this guide is useful not just for miniature painters but painters in general. I have watched many tutorials where glazing in traditional painting is explained yet they fail to mention (or at least show) that it's not just about dilution per se. Great work.
Praise be the emperor for another guide ! Very clear, very easy to understand, you really cover all the points that always gave me some trouble, definitly the best guide I've seen on glazing so far. This is going to help me with the cape of the battle sister I'm painting !
I've been checking through all sorts of glazing videos, and not a *single one* has explained it in the way you have. Just the bit about touching off the extra. Absolute game changer. 4 years late to this video, and its still solid stuff. All the other videos I've found have just been "yeah, you know, do a glaze" without explaining exactly *how* or *what*.
THANK YOU! A lot of videos I've seen never talk about how diluted a glaze should be, and they speak even less about how much of the glaze should be on your brush when applying it. I am both happy and sad to find out that this whole time I have been applying some kind of mid-way between a wash and glaze, like a Frakenstein's monster of paint, onto my models.
I never achieved a nice smooth transition with glazing and most of the time I was just making my models look like shit, never understood why. Now I understand how many things I did wrong. This is truly the best and most understandable guide I have watched in a while. I will try glazing your way on the Canis Wolfborn model I am painting at the moment and I will let you know about the results. Thank you soooo much for this.
Out of all the guides, tutorials, whatever on UA-cam; You are the most concise, detail-oriented, and specific. You don't gloss over things that people new to the hobby aren't going to consider. It's very easy for someone who has been painting for a long time to omit things because a lot of it comes as second nature. They don't intend to do it, it's just not something they consider consciously. You break down all of these things. Not just on this video either. All of them. Hands down one of the best teachers in miniature painting, period.
This has really helped me understand glazing. I will most likely re watch it 10 times over. Your teaching style is awesome. The dry brush analogy is super helpful.
Thank you thank you thank you I have watched a lot of how to glaze vids. But how you used your nails it was a game changer. I know it was simple but i needed it to be simple for me to finally get it again thank you
I watched the miniac glazing video and was really confused because he didn't really go into detail about how you thin the paint and then how much you keep on the brush. Thank you for this video
Hey, it's Scholar D, this was a fantastic video and really explained a complex idea in a very simplistic way. It helped me understand more about glazes. Thanks, man!
OK firstly, very professional production, great camera setup, nice paced explanation of the topic. Secondly. Thank you for the effort that you have put in to explain to us lesser mortals the skills need to practice the topic. I have been painting for decades and really needed this advice. here's hoping I can improve. subbed.
I watched so much tutorials on those subjects without really understand them. Your videos are so great. I appreciate you take time to explain "how" , "why" and "what could go wrong" and, moreover, you explain it simply and clearly with some meaningful sentences ("bring the black home" or "glaze is like a wet dry brush") without fancy UA-cam effects or try to show your talent (man.. You paint your nails lol) ! PS : and video quality is good enough to allow us to see something... Which is not always the case on many other good teachers!
Came to the comments to say what everyone else is saying. Thank you for such a GREAT detailed glaze lesson. I have been wondering why my attempts were so inconsistent. Amount on the brush!🤯 I’m subbing based on this video alone. 🙌🙌🙌
I'm still a novice painter, and I've stumbled across this technique accidentally -- then convinced myself that it couldn't be right, because I'd never seen anyone say to do it this way! I'm excited to subscribe to your channel.
This is an absolutely brilliant guide to glazing! And nail art, even. I love the way that the technique is explained and demonstrated so clearly. Definitely the best glazing tutorial I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of them!
Best glazing Vid i've seen . Also love the blending Vid . I hope you do more content like this . And i also think your teaching style is very transendant , and easy to digest .
Well this vidéo gave me the last infos I needed. I use to paint by glazing but I use to makes some mistakes that gave me not attempted results. Nice job !
Up until this last weekend I had never tried glazing because it looked a bit overwhelming and I was focusing on other things to improve. I've been back to painting and taking it more seriously for the last 2 years, so I thought I needed to try glazing already. And I tell you... I've watched a ton of videos, from people just painting and actual tutorials on glazing and blending. This is by far the most complete I've seen so far (and I've seen it after I tried glazing for the first time) and I was fucking up exactly on the quantity of paint on my brush. Thanks man, thanks a lot. This has helped immensely. I'm gonna redo the horns I was painting and try again following your tips. :)
First off, thank you for the videos! I've only just come across them and the way you describe your method and the underpinnings in the techniques is by far the best I've seen. I could never quite get why my glazes weren't working. I just kept diluting the paint but it was the volume on the brush. No one has ever really gone into it in that much depth. Another thing that I loved was about the consistency of paint. When people say "like milk" it just doesn't mean anything. Using your nail was so simple and clear, genius! So good! Thank you so much!
Thank you! What you said is the reason why I made this video. The "milk" thing and the lack of explaination of paint volume on the brush from most videos made glazing unnecessarely confusing to learn, I wanted to try to chip in and attempt to bring some clarity.
I am half way through the video and already this is by far the best glazing explanation. Exactly the things I struggle with nicely elaborated and important things emphasized. I watched many videos and had to figure stuff this stuff out intuitively. I did achieve great results after suffering a lot, but now, it just all comes into place and finally makes sense. Thank you! Bloody awesome video, well done!
Okay okay, this feels a bit like ghoulishness, the video is already a few years old, but...just yesterday I asked you in the stream how I can improve my colour thinning, and here is the video. Thank you very much :) To everyone else: The good man is not only extremely talented, he also streams live on Twitch, and Fridays are ‘WIP Day’, when you can get feedback on your minis. Brilliant! :)( oh yeah, my main account has a different name, u usually just call me "comic" :D)
Man, I'm pretty new to all this and, Im just finally starting to kick out some minis that I can stand to look at. The biggest things I'm missing right now, in my opinion, are shadowing/contrast and highlighting. The last few I've worked on look like, literally what a well painted miniature looks like with no depth. No highlighting, no shadow, no contrast. I've been super intrigued by non metallic metal and glazing to get nice transitions since I started, but figured I should just focus on some easier stuff, better fundamentals first. Anyway, long story long, I started working towards glazing and NMM recently, and have really been struggling with it. This is the first thing I've seen/read/heard, that made me understand, that I havent been using glazes, I haven't actually used a a legit glaze yet. Just slightly more diluted layers. Can't wait to jump back in. Thank you
Your guides and your instructions are so very underrated! You should have so many more likes and subscribers!! Love the direct format, with just the right length of time for these videos! This is such a good resource for beginners and intermediate painters (like myself!).
Thank you! This video is the most helpful one I have viewed on glazing and I have viewed many. Your demonstration showed me exactly what I've been doing wrong and presented me with the better way to do things. Thank you for your time and your generous sharing of knowledge. You have most deservedly gained a new subscriber!
What and absolutely wonderful guide!! I’ve only recently gotten back into miniature painting after a long 15 years away. I must say, you have helped me so much with this guide in the short space of time I have been back painting!! Thank you and keep it up!
Finally....FINALLY.....someone takes the time to point out how important the AMOUNT of paint on the brush is when glazing!! So many painters out there just have it as a habit and forget to point it out! Great video!
This is by far the best glaze video I have seen. Where was this 9 years ago when I started painting models XD
As much as I love the massive amount of resource available on UA-cam, every now and then there’s a video that gives me a eureka moment as I learn something new or gain a new understanding of something I thought I already knew. This was one of those videos. Thanks a lot.
The best explanation of glazing I've seen so far
This is the most comprehensive video about painting techniques ever!!!
The direction of glazing.... that was a mind-blown moment! Thanks MD :)
The best glazing tutorial on UA-cam 🤝
Finally found someone in this community who actually knows how to teach!
Very clear to understand! You are not only a great painter but also a great teacher! Congrats for this useful tutorial.
The best video about glaze! Many thanx
"No one talks about the amount of paint on the brush enough" ... daaaamn. Hitting that like just for that part alone. GJ man.
I've watched so many videos on this subject and finally someone explained it right
Nothing I've seen about glazing is this instructive. Really good stuff.
Best glazing video tutorial on UA-cam right here 👍🏼
Thanks :)
THANK YOU XD, please come back, this is the first time I've seen somebody actually teaching me how to properly blend colours haha
This is without a doubt one of the most useful painting videos available. Thank you!!
I came across this almost 18 months it's release. This is the most clear explanation ever. specially regarding the amount of paint. Many thanks!
Oh my good god! FINALLY, an explanation of glazing that makes complete sense!
This is the best explanation of glazing that I have seen. Thank you!
This is the first video I've watched where I can actually see what I'm doing wrong with my glazes. Thank you so much for this video!

I dont have word to explain how much this video helped me, nobody ever said about consistency of paint, and how paint should look like.
Great tutorial, best video on glazing I have seen yet.
this video is 4yrs ago but still, this video helps especially for a noob like me that has just begun painting. thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for this video, the most succinct and helpful video about glazing and understanding paint quantities.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
