Painting Miniatures with Earth Tones
Вставка

- What can brown do for you? Most fantasy and sci-fi painters tend to be drawn by bright primary colors, but one can do a lot with just browns and earth tones.

Love this video! And just want to mention that this content creator was one of the first FREE miniature painter teachers on the internet in the hobby community early-days; Dr Faust deserves way more exposure and views than this on UA-cam! Share this video with your friends already!! #artisfree #foundingfather
thanks so much for all your videos. Getting back into painting and having them on in the background is like having a tutor throwing out gems of wisdom all day.
Love your videos man ! Bob Ross of miniatures !
Earth tones, people! Browns and beige! And dark browns and light browns and browns and beige!
I like to add purple to brown for some leather bits, it makes a beautiful color
I painted an entire figure with just Burnt Sienna, Dioxazine Purple, black, and white. Worked out much better, and with a much more interesting and complex look, than I was expecting.
Stunning
Lovely, just as I've started my first warband for frostgrave!
Great vid. Totally spot on advice on earth tones.
As a player of, and collector of ranger miniatures, this video is right up my alley. Thank you!
I love browns. I think they make everything more realistic. I can never have enough browns. Thank you for sharing this.
For me, brown typifies D&D player characters.
As ever, amazing paint job and a 1st class tutorial!
Jas👍
I absolutely love using earth tones. My frostgrave warband is using a very similar selection of colours.
Omg I'm painting this one now!
I have been painting miniatures for more than 40 years, but I have found the advice on your channel, in tandem with the presentation, to be the most helpful. I have forever been applying my paint too thickly, and although I have seen videos that advise against it, it wasn’t until I watched your channel for the first time recently that I actually had an epiphany and started to improve. Many thanks indeed.
I was just wondering how to make typically muted earth tones “pop”! Great video!
Perfect, more reference material for my frostgrave warband
Very earthy looking fellow but you're right, the colors used do give the figure a more believable look as to what some medieval roustabout or adventurer would look like. Many suns and moons ago famed GW mini painter Mike McVey painted up a sizable Wood Elf army in mostly browns and tans and very little other colors, it was interesting. Do you remember that White Dwarf article?
By the way, UPS called, they want their motto back!! (^_^)
Great video, I agree browns are a core part of any painters arsenal. The funny thing is I also say people should buy three greys, a dark one, a medium one and a bright one. You can do a ton with greys, like clean smooth white and desaturate colors but not kill the brightness too much to act as a shadow coat for you're primary colors. I tend to use makeup sponges when I layer on the top coats in that case, makes for really simple color buildup without scratchy dry brush marks.
Hi doc, brown and the various shades thereof, are some of my favorite colors to paint with. That coupled with the many different types of greens, reds and metalics are pretty much the staple of any explorer or dungeon delver miniature that I paint. Those combinations of colors combined with various shading and weathering add what I think is a realistic, worn thin, "not new" look to the minis clothing and equipment. Too bad its my talent thats limited and not my pallet lol. Take care and stay healthy.
Any tips on painting Ravens wings, love your videos and if anyone can tell me how to make my SK miniatures "On Raven Wings " kit look awesome then you the man.
Thanks for this video! Very usefull information! I have been struggeling with the lightbrown parts (they keep looking way too 'dirty'), gonna give this method a try!
When painting base coats, do you thin your paints as much as you do when building layers? I know the thinness is wanted for layers, but I hate painting base coats (especially with browns) that require many different layers to get an even coat and I feel like sometimes it might be better to use thicker paint for the base.
The first one and sometimes second coats can be thicker. Just thin enough to flow properly and can cover in two coats.
How did you attach the figure to the jar lid ?
Hi, I love watching your videos with all the fine work you do. Each figure is done with such care. I do have a question about primers you use, I just picked up a Beholder from D & D Wizkids that was inspired by your video. I was wondering do you primer these figures or do you paint them just after washing ? Also if you primer, which primers do you use ? Thank you for your time and any help you can give me.
Wash with isopropyl alcohol. Primered with Badger Styrenz (or whatever it's called).
What Palette is that? It looks like plastic?
Ceramic floor tile.
looks good god tip will ues nest time i do things post will see
Nice tutorial but this was not a limited palette. Maybe a limited color scheme but not limited palette.
Maybe the wet pallet had limited space.
Nice work! Roughly how long did it take to paint?
2-3 hours.
Doctor Faust as is the bloke, that sold his soul to the Devil?
As a friend used to say (approximately), "I paint everything with different shades of brown: leather brown, skin brown, cloth brown, hair brown, fire brown, water brown, sky brown, snow brown ...." 8-)
Seriously, though, I can't think of a figure I've painted in years that didn't have brown. Maybe that should be my next challenge for myself: paint a figure without any brown, including any brown I mix myself. I'd have to pick the figure _very_ carefully.
Witchcraft! Joking aside. Nice 👌
Great painting. Shity video quality. Subscribe for you effort
