Hi, after years of watching painting videos, I have never come across your channel! I am now watching them all and I can't believe you don't have a larger audience. I hope your channel continues to grow in the future because your tutorials are fantastic!
thank you very much, comments like this are what keep me going 😁
Rather than using a black paint (like Ivory black, Mars black, etc) I prefer to use a chromatic black which is basically mixing 2 complementary colors together. I've tried successfully 2 mixes.
1/ Burnt umber + French ultramarine: ratio 1:2, but that can be altered to your need. More blue will give a cold black, more brown will make it warmer
2/ Quinacridone red + Phthalo green: I can't remember the ratio I used, but same principle, more red will give a warm black, and more green will make it cooler.
Nice video mate. I love how thorough you are with your analysis and explanations.
Thank you, tried to leave as little unanswered questions as possible
I'd love to see you try some of these techniques on smaller models. I mostly paint / game in 15mm and the problem I have is oil washes tend to just make them drab messes at that scale. Except vehicles of course, but the infantry always just look bleh if I use oils to wash them.
Try Windsor and newton inks - better for infantry figures at the smaller scales imho
been meaning on trying my hand at 15mm will keep it in mind 😉
@@davidwasilewski Yeah I've given them a shot before, in fact the W&N white is what I like to use for my zenithaling. They act more like traditional washes, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
You did an amazing job 👍👍
Thank You
yo that mini is siiiiick
Thank you
Where are the minis from?

Nice eye opener
Really good video
thank you very much
another great video man. please keep them coming.
Got a lot prepared when my skaventide box arrives, aiming to realese 2 vid per week during the season 😉
Looks awesome and it's cool to see how diverse this method can be used. Looking forward to try a red coat with this technic!
Thank you, glad you liked it
Very helpful video and I love the background music :)
thank you, glad you liked it
Good job as always.
thank you
very nicely done!!
Thank you
Great video! I've always had bad luck with oil washes, when I move to the removal somehow the primer is removed too, even if I'm using mineral spirit that should not interact with it. So in the end I'm always careful to use them for the recesses only, or I will end un with an overall wash I can't remove from the miniature.
I have had the same issue, and i have just startet using glossy varnish before oilwash and matte varnish before setting the higlight with acrylic paints.
havent had this issue myself, i use oddorless artist spirits and prime with cheap hobby paints
@resourcefulminiatures @axellupton I've heard somewhere that is probably due to the fact that all acrylic paints can somehow partially reactivate with liquids in general, so I was probably too harsh with the sponge/removal in general I guess.
Amazing video! Love oil washes... cant stop using them everywhere.
Ive ruined lot of miniatures without details (like chibi style ones)... but is so much fun. 😂
Thank you, well waht matter is for you to enjoy it in the end
Thanks for this, I like the different approaches.
What drying times can we expect, and what thinners are best to use?
depedning on dilution from 30 min to 1 and a half hours should do the trick for either allowing the spirits to evaporate or allow the oils to get a grip for a multi stage cleanup, it will really vary between colors, im still learning the tiems on each of my more exotic colors. thinner wise white spirits will do i think, i use the odorless artist one made for oils since smells can be quite toxic(national brand nothing special)
Cool 🖌
thank you
Is there a video that can go over how to decide what color to choose when applying oil washes? Im not very well versed in knowing what colors to choose for this type of thing
There's not but thats a good suggestion, ill keep it in mind for a video in the future. For now feel free to ask and ill give you some insight according to what you are painting
Hi, thanks for the helpful vid. Is it necessary to varnish the model before applying oils?
I'm curious about this question too. At what points in the process do you varnish and what types of varnish (matt, gloss). Thanks for another great video!
i never varnish, so it isnt necessary. A gloss varnish before oils can help the wash run into recesses mucch neater(ofter aused for space amrines pinwashing and a mate one can be used at the end to kill any sheen the oils may leave)

Amazing miniatures! Where can i find them? Are they part of a set?
they are "lone heroes" from bestiarum miniatures
@@resourcefulminiatures thank you man! Your channel is super!
@@riccardobaricchi8238 thnakyou, gladyou find it entretaining
awesome. can you maybe do a video on painting yellow and white cloaks? grimdark style. thanks!
sure can! on the to do list
@@resourcefulminiatures thanks so much!! they have been giving me problems in the grimdark style
What's the advantage of using a makeup sponge versus a q-tip? Furthermore, when is it preferable to use one over the other?
In my experience qtips are good for detail work or as shown loading with thinner to get more oil off the model's specific spots. But they don't last as long and if you're aggressive with it can start stringing the cotton on pointy models. Sponges are great for larger areas but it's harder (to me anyway) to tell visually how much thinner is loaded on them. I also tend to cut mine into smaller triangles not only to get more uses out of them and for chipping armor.
I find that the little eye shadow sponges work much better than Q-tips. No risk of leaving little cotton remnants behind on your minis
bit of what both of the other fellas said, q tips can leave cotton strands when working over pointy areas(im suing ones wich are quite compact) and are better for more detail work. Make up sponges are good for wider areas with less details like cloaks or, like on the muscles from my wendigo video, big models in general. Both can get some spirits to enhance the cleaning but i prefer using the sponges (which wont get all the work done) and remove a further layer with the q tips for a multi stage process. Alternatively you cna cut the make up sponges to fit smaller details, the can be less agressive than the q tip. Dont have experience with the little eye shadow sponges myself
wheres that mini from? It looks sick! Love it!
I would also like to know, they look so cool

Doesn't turpentine melt plastic? I have never tried oil paints but I have that doubt
I would not use turpentine anyway but other mineral spirits ( possibly odorless), in any case the acrilic primer and layers will protect the plastic
@@francescogiovannimura7621 Thank you very much
@@Liritht to add more info: right now I have some artist white spirits but I am not sure if they are considered turpentine 🤔. I think what I used before (acquaragia) could be considere turpentine but I am not sure, nor I tried it on "naked" plastic, in any case they gave me issues on already painted minatures. Anyway, if you are in doubt you could experiment on some sprues first 🤔
i used artist odorless spirits for the whole of my space marine army and didnt find any issues, cant say about more aggresive spirits but havent heard someone bring it up before
