He says(ish) "I thought this part was going to be the most interesting but with the detail on these models made with painting in mind it turned out it was too easy" Too easy.... You're a genius at planning a process and so your results in 4 hours are stunning.
I can't help but compare this workflow with the standard GW one. The results you can achieve here, in far less time, is superior in every way to what you'd be able to achieve using traditional base/layer/shade/highlight process. Just amazing work Marco, you've changed my hobby life.
I love this speed painting series, it finally snapped me out of my lethargy and got me back to painting. Just finished the skeletons following the tutorial. And now halfway into the Zombies.
LOVED your last two speed painting guides, can't wait to see this one!. Very refreshing to see these quick but high quality guides for someone who primarily does army-painting.

The multiple-colored undercoat is some truly ingenious idea. And as genie and madness are quite close one to the other... I declareth : THOU ART A MADLAD! (the kind of madness I would love to see on a full Vampire army ;) )
That's it. I was watching your amazing videos for a week straight and now I bought oil paints. Tried them and I just need to tell you - I'm never going back. Thank you for all your work, I'm going to advocate among our gaming group and pass your word. Keep on teaching, your videos are a delight!
I keep coming back to this video, such a great paint job, excellently described. Marco has been a big influence on my model painting journey and my output!
After watching every video since your first oil-on-acrylic video, it's these here that made me finally make the jump to supplementing my airbrush acrylics with your oil washes. Fingers crossed, Marco, and thank you so much for your tutorials. I never thought I would ever give oils a try, but for cursed city (and my new AoS vampire army) - I would want to do it no other way.
Man, this is exactly how I *would* like to paint. It cuts all the stages I simply hate about painting, namely boring colour blocking and stupid, slavish edge-highlighting. This is so much more organic and fun and every single stage feels like a huge jump forward in visual interest. I bow before your wisdom, and you never fail to inspire me with new things I desperately want to try out. Cannot thank you enough for that.
As usual, phenomenal. I will definitely be signing up to your patreon very soon, absolutely love your channel and you are deserving of the support for what you bring to the hobby!
Again, I continue to be in straight awe of your ability to blend acrylic and oil washes to a fantastic blend at speed. I strive to be able to do this very soon. Thank you.
I have a degree in fine art with an emphasis on painting. Your videos are absolutely bananas. Wonderful. They are some of the only youtube videos I can't put on in the background because I have to give it 100% of my attention. Amazing work as always.
Well done Marco !! It is very impressive how well you play with colours ! It shows that you are simply more than a miniature painter and a true artist !
You are a master Marco, thanks to watching your videos, i just got an airbrush and compressor to try more advanced techniques! Thanks again for all the effort and amazing content!
I've a mild hand tremor and even if I didn't, I don't have Marco's assured precision with the airbrush and it's trigger earned through thousands of hours of commission painting. To be able to follow his speed painting methods I mask up a lot for my own version of our maestro's control. Aluminium foil for quick simple deflectors secured and precision edged with totally reusable silly putty is my go to. Even where I'm looking to airbrush his transitions I now often mask and then spray the transition areas in afterward. The foil I scrunch and recycle into bulk shapes on armatures for sculpting and as filler in bits of terrain. Marco is a fourfold genius at least, and for a mortal with limited time for painting, even when following is conceptions and brilliantly explained and demonstrated processes, even if it's just executing, you just have to find ways to bridge the skill gap. 1.His artist's eye for visualising the composition, applying and translating a relevant source material. 2.His consummate skill for breaking down that projected result into a process of painting steps. Especially those chromatic groundworks he achieves with the airbrush. The way he builds shadows. The way he builds his colours across the model with passes of different transparent hues, each filtering and reshaping what's already on the model. (This is what I fake and ape anyway I can including masking away bit's that are at risk from my fist of ham!) 3.The masterful brushwork, the way he realises and enhances volumes and brings shapes out. Then the precision he brings to texturing strokes where a lesser artist would just drop a final smooth highlight and feel like a master. 4.Man's a joy to listen to and a genuinely gifted teacher, must be to have brought me forward so much in such a relatively short space of time. I've Marco method ways to achieve particular results for genres of models and I love how well and how much I'm getting painted. I'm also building a sense of how to build my own strategic painting breakdowns - slowly, but a little rubs off every time i watch him breakdown a fresh model(s). More even than that I'm enjoying it too, less frustration, more of a clue, so much happier with my results and am still improving so fast! I'm a chemist by background so his feels and imagines like an artist, analyses like a scientist teaching approach is right on the money for me. Still - takes a bit of cheating to emulate his assured skills!
Oh my God, amazing result!!!! It's a pity that I don't have an airbrush, but this approach to high-speed painting of a miniature is definitely worth adopting from you))))))
I definetly going to paint all my box with your tutorials. It's incredible. I'm at barely the last part of the skeletons. For my painting skills this is not speed paiting, but this is the best I ever painted! The ressults and the progress are very enjoyables!. Thank you very much for your work and greetings from SPAIN!!
Amazing week to be a Marco fan! I went with something closer to Kollectiv SGs videos with the super-saturated red glow from below so I'm kinda inverting the warm-cold spectrum on the cloth and hair. But definitely using some of your tips too!
Now I wish I hadn't passed up on the Cursed City box. I don't really care about the vampire theme, but this series of videos makes me want to paint along with Marco.
I wasn't sure about the airbrush when I first got one, but once the learning curve of thinners and accuracy is achieved, painting end quality and speed go way up. Wish I'd started with it sooner
This technique has completely transformed how I paint most models (I'm working on cell shaded/cartoony style with acrylics as well). It's so fast and effective. It will be even better once I get an airbrush, but even a rattle can zenithal prime yields decent results!
As always, an amazing video. You make i look so easy, but use a very complex methodolology, in an intelligent way so it becomes easy. I'm impressed. Great job, as always.
I like the energy you have man! Thanks for the vid. I don't use an airbrush and I really don't want to ever use one, but I fear one day I will have to.
Amazing as usual, Marco! But can I make a request? Would you maybe one day talk about your reasoning for color choices in highlighting? You use several high value colors and you mix them for different spots on the model. Would you maybe talk about it in more detail?
This is incredible, I wish this video was released a couple weeks ago when I was working on the flesh for my Helbrute because it looks as though it would have worked perfectly. Just wish I could get someone to take a look at it to see how I can improve it. Amazing work as always.
Do it! I put it off for so long, but it completely transformed how I paint. A black, magenta, burnt sienna (maybe it's burnt umber...have to check) and a green were all I needed to start. That and some oderless white spirits are all you need. I got results on my first try that would have taken me twice as long with my normal painting techniques. And it will only get better and faster as you paint more.
Stunning again! I love that flesh ink and didn't see that coming. I'm for sure going to steal that idea to use on an old-school wood elf bloodbowl team, see how that will work out. Now just to find the liquitex ink equivalent anywhere nearby. Also, thanks Diego for helping Marco out
I'm pretty certain that masking material he used was Silly Putty. I use it for airbrush masking and it's great. Stretchier and less sticky than Blu-Tack, much less of a hassle than liquid mask, and zero risk of it pulling paint off when removed.
Damn, that skin underpainting was effective. I did that on my latest garage kit, but not nearly with such bold colours (only white/red). Will absolutely give that a try on one of my upcoming kits.
Hello Marco, tanks for ur fabulous video. They re marvelous and i teach a lot with. Hope u ll explain and paint easier 1.5 scales minis like JOA line. Tanks and take care.

Too easy....

Marco you are the greatest painter teacher I have ever watched. Amazing stuff!
😊😍😊😘
I can only second this one. Whole-heartedly.
3 videos in a week? Incredible for such high quality work

The big joke is that it's also cheaper in the long run
I love this speed painting series, it finally snapped me out of my lethargy and got me back to painting. Just finished the skeletons following the tutorial. And now halfway into the Zombies.

Ginger vampires, truly soulless creatures xD

I declareth : THOU ART A MADLAD!
(the kind of madness I would love to see on a full Vampire army ;) )
I love the new models, the heroes in particular... they made me start thinking that's time to have a proper army :)

You are just the best painter on UA-cam - others can paint as well but no one can explain it like you can or do it as fast.
Don't you just love it when the little one wants to help daddy? :-D
Every video on this channel is full of gems of knowledge.
Marco: "We tend to consider priming like a stage independant from painting"
Me: *Nervously Sweats*
ohhhhh Marco you are so bubbly it is an absolute pleasure to follow your videos! Thank you for all the teaching
As usual, phenomenal. I will definitely be signing up to your patreon very soon, absolutely love your channel and you are deserving of the support for what you bring to the hobby!
Thank you sooo much man!!! Really, from the heart 😊😊😊
This guy is my favourite Welsh painter on UA-cam.
You are making the best painting videos on UA-cam by a mile.
Again, I continue to be in straight awe of your ability to blend acrylic and oil washes to a fantastic blend at speed. I strive to be able to do this very soon. Thank you.
I love that I learn something new with every video you provide. It’s how I paint, and really inspiring! Thanks!
Amazing Marco, you make it look so simple; but al the color theory and experimentation behind is unbelievable
Awwww Mano del bambino 😭😭 so cute. Another great tutorial, grazie!
The quality of your videos are amazing Marco, and not to forget your skills at painting!
Marco, your energy and enjoyment is infectious ❤️
Congrats to whoever had Marco talking about “overgrown pubic hair” on their bingo card as that must be the last square you needed!
hahahaha it's a great topic! We need more videos about it XD
I have a degree in fine art with an emphasis on painting. Your videos are absolutely bananas. Wonderful. They are some of the only youtube videos I can't put on in the background because I have to give it 100% of my attention. Amazing work as always.
Well done Marco !!
It is very impressive how well you play with colours !
It shows that you are simply more than a miniature painter and a true artist !
You're so amazing at painting mini's!! I learn so much from your videos
the tiny michellin hand. !!!!! awesome video.
You are probably the best painting teacher on youtube Marco! Way to go!
Four hours...man you've got skills! Thank you for sharing with us, great techniques!
Another fantastic video tutorial. These have inspired me no end. Thank you!
Never thought about priming like that. Very eye opening video and I am sure to experiment with these kinds of techniques when I get the chance!
You are the G.O.A.T. with Oilpaints... can´t wait see more coming
Fantastic! Great to see them go from the block colour undercoat to such refined finished pieces. Can’t wait to see what you do with the heroes too.
Mate. With how amazing these oils work I wouldn't be surprised if GW release their own line after seeing your vids.
You are a master Marco, thanks to watching your videos, i just got an airbrush and compressor to try more advanced techniques! Thanks again for all the effort and amazing content!
Of course, beautiful models, but also so technically creative as well. Absolutely top tier painter. Love your stuff, Marco
Another video, packed with info and joy!

Nice to see your little helper getting a good view of the painting :)
They look amazing Marco! Wish I'd have seen this series before I did my 48hr army painting video! Thanks for the guide. Love your vids :)
Love your approach to painting! 4 hours for that level of quality is insane.
Diego!!!
Oh my God, amazing result!!!!
It's a pity that I don't have an airbrush, but this approach to high-speed painting of a miniature is definitely worth adopting from you))))))
Even with a rattle can zenithal it still works really well! (Better with an airbrush, definitely, but...yeah. thems expensive...)
The best in the business. Marco you're the man!
That is the dopest use of airbrush undershading I've ever seen! Incredible work Marco!
I loved the cursed city series, such great ideas!
I definetly going to paint all my box with your tutorials. It's incredible. I'm at barely the last part of the skeletons. For my painting skills this is not speed paiting, but this is the best I ever painted! The ressults and the progress are very enjoyables!. Thank you very much for your work and greetings from SPAIN!!
Marco, you are a master of colour theory.
Stunning
Amazing week to be a Marco fan! I went with something closer to Kollectiv SGs videos with the super-saturated red glow from below so I'm kinda inverting the warm-cold spectrum on the cloth and hair. But definitely using some of your tips too!
Wow this is genius fairplay 😎👌
That colourful underpainting is really smart and I need to use if for some monsters
Love your videos Marco. My eyes are always glued to the screen watching you work and explain along the way :D
Another great video! I really look forward to each week's video and the inspiration it gives.
Brilliant work! I’m a big fan of colored primers and love what you did with them here.
Now I wish I hadn't passed up on the Cursed City box. I don't really care about the vampire theme, but this series of videos makes me want to paint along with Marco.
I wasn't sure about the airbrush when I first got one, but once the learning curve of thinners and accuracy is achieved, painting end quality and speed go way up. Wish I'd started with it sooner
that ink was magical
Another great video Marco! Really getting these videos out fast!
Marco, that trick with the base coats and then the skin ink spray was witchcraft!
awesome video mate
This technique has completely transformed how I paint most models (I'm working on cell shaded/cartoony style with acrylics as well). It's so fast and effective. It will be even better once I get an airbrush, but even a rattle can zenithal prime yields decent results!
Dude, your enthusiasm is contagious. Greetings from Spain
another awesome video, I feel like I learn so much from your videos rather than just a straight "put this color here" tutorial
Wonderful video! Love the scheme. Love the technique.
As always, an amazing video. You make i look so easy, but use a very complex methodolology, in an intelligent way so it becomes easy. I'm impressed. Great job, as always.
Just magnificent Marco. Really amazing
I love this paint job it is so vibrant. That sweet little hand was a bonus :-)
Un trabajo impresionante! 👍👍
Spectacular as always!
As always just amazing work and teaching
I like the energy you have man! Thanks for the vid. I don't use an airbrush and I really don't want to ever use one, but I fear one day I will have to.
Phenomenal work! Another added to my infuence list for the boxed game.
love your work man... such inventive techniques!
Amazing as usual, Marco!

...
This is just brilliant.
Mind blown, again!
What was the masking clay you used and what qtips do you use as some leave fine hairs on models
I'm pretty certain that masking material he used was Silly Putty. I use it for airbrush masking and it's great. Stretchier and less sticky than Blu-Tack, much less of a hassle than liquid mask, and zero risk of it pulling paint off when removed.
It doesn't matter if you won't tell anyone - I'LL STILL KNOW WHAT I DID.
👀
That's amazing, as usual.
Man your accent is so nice I could listen to you talk all day haha. Also, very good and informative videos!
Stunning work!
Grants! Another great video! Any changes to get the same definition result obtained with oils but with acrylics? In a similar time...
Damn, that skin underpainting was effective. I did that on my latest garage kit, but not nearly with such bold colours (only white/red). Will absolutely give that a try on one of my upcoming kits.
I would love to see some speed paint on orks hope u paint some in the future (like the need warband)
Hello Marco, tanks for ur fabulous video.
They re marvelous and i teach a lot with.
Hope u ll explain and paint easier 1.5 scales minis like JOA line.
Tanks and take care.
Ciao Marco, my molotow traffic red leaves a sheen of golden/yellow almost like it's metallic. Have you experienced this?
Incredible.
Awesome video Marco!!
