Oops! 😬
Wonderful work and great recovery.
Thanks! Yes, it was touch and go there for a bit. 😬
thank you so much detail tutorial using oils on miniatures
Your welcome
Just subbed. Been wanting to do oils on facial features for a good number of years. Glad I found this. I see Mr. Barkas hanging around, too. That's high praise in itself.
Awesome, glad to have you along for the ride. Yes Michael been hanging out since I started the channel. Cheers.
Very beautiful my friend, I will try your techniques on my channel and my figures to see if I can get that level of quality.
Thanks, good luck. Cheers!
Another amazing work!
Thanks! :)
Wonderful, from a fellow oil nut
Thanks, glad to see other oily nuts enjoying the hobby! Cheers.
Excellent technique, awesome work! Personally, I prefer less contrast but that's me. Keep up the good work, cheers 🍻
Thanks. Yes it’s not for everyone, and that’s 👌🏻. Thanks for watching! Cheers.
Simply sublime 😉👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Awesome to see the procedure in such a detailed way, very useful! Love the result and i am looking forward to that water effect tutorial :)
Thanks, Michael! Appreciate your kind comments. Cheers my friend!
You kept strong to the finich...Coz you eats ya spinach...And cool Popeye the sailor man.!!!
Thank you.
Cracking work, I usually do tank builds but with the time I have I struggle to get to my fav part which is paint. Anyways I reckon I may take a stab at painting miniatures and for sure ur videos are inspiring me. Keep it up! I have no airbrush so thanks for the hard light tip.
Great to hear! Don't let figures scare you. It's just like weathering a vehicle for the first time. You're afraid to screw up a nice paint job but once you dive in and try some new techniques it becomes easier with each one and you gain more confidence. Dive into the deep end, my friend! Cheers.
Tremendous work. I've just started contemplating using oils. I've watched several of your videos. I'm not quite clear on how you use the blending brush. Do you keep it dry the whole time and just stipple in the excess with it? Or do you clean it at some point? I'm thinking it needs to be dry, but I'm really clueless.... Thanks for posting these.
Thanks for checking me out. Yes the blending brush should always be bone dry and I’m wiping the excess paint off as I work on a lint free paper towel. Make sure the brush your using to blend with is nice and soft but not too soft that it loses its shape. Get a filbert brush and if you can find the same brand I was using in the video that’s even better. Filbert refers to the style of brush incase you were wondering. Good luck with your figures!🙂🍻
Learnt tons of stuff watching your videos and made great improvements to my yet not that great work. Thanks!
Btw, I always mess up the figures hands when I’m cleaning up the excesses from casting.
Could you do a video about how to clean, prepare and paint hand, arms and bare legs? Put som tips, you know. Like your other videos.
Thanks for a fun yet instructive Chanel!
Thanks so much Samuel, I appreciate you taking the time to check my channel out. Yeah resin can be a real bitch to clean up! I think I may have ruined my latest busts head. Oh well, you can’t win them all. I have so much I’d like to do and painting hands, arms and legs would be a good “10 minute tips and techniques” video. Can’t say when I’ll get to it but I’ll definitely put it on the list of things I want to do. Cheers!
You continue to amaze - how long do you have the oil paints sit on the cardboard before using? Thanks!
It depends on the colour. If there’s less oil when you squeeze it out 10-15 minutes. Juicier colours need longer like 30 minutes and possibly transferring those colours to a fresh pice of cardboard for the other 15mins.👍🏼
So could I get some more detail about how your thin your paint so you don't destroy the layer beneath? You said you add thinner to your palette. It helps the paint dry faster, more matter, and flows off the brush better. But when I do it, it destroys the underlying layers. So I wonder what you are doing different. If you covered this already, could you point me to the video? thank you.
@@BuzzkillZone The paint is more like a glaze which dries really fast. Some paint like the highlight areas is more opaque and will take more time to dry. You have to work fast when using this technique this is why I use the thinner to dilute the paint so it dries quicker. You can also use a heat lamp to dry the oils faster. Hope that helps.
@@SmallSoldier Thank you. Next time I try I'll thin it down to a glaze and see how things go.
Hi Scott,A really useful tutorial and a fantastic result, did I see on FB that this is to be box art? if so congrats on that also.
Thanks! Yes it’s the box art for the Popeye bust.
Really impressed with your ability to push through setbacks to an amazing concussion. Got to say, I would love to just watch something from an artistic perspective in terms of color theory and how you go about mixing in your highlights and shadows (even if it's a basic one to cover things like adding in blues and dark browns as opposed to blacks to retain the saturation). I feel like I have a very amateur knowledge of this kind of subject and would love to understand more of the nuts and bolts of it. I'm sure for you, you can see something and say "oh, this needs a little more green" while I would probably say "hmm not sure this looks right but I have no idea why or how to fix it" - anyway looking forward to seeing your next tutorial and your newest project now that your WWI Ace is wrapped up 👍🏻
Thanks, Chris! This is a great topic and one I need to tackle. I do understand colour theory and the use of light etc. I'm a classically trained artist of 4 years and did mountains of drawing, painting and sculpting as well a design and illustration. I try and describe this as much as I can in every video but I should do a basic "understanding light and colour" video. It will happen... I just can't say when. Cheers!
@@SmallSoldier awesome! Yeah, I knew you had the classical training to be the one to knock something like that out of the park (didn't know it was that extensive though!) Understand that there's always a lot of ideas to get to- I need to put out a few videos I've been "working on" (in my head) here soon 👍🏻
@@BrailleScale Yep, those were some of the best and worst times in my life. I learned so much about composition, colour, perspective, light/shadow, and design... at "almost" the cost of my sanity.
Mind sharing what type of brush you use for the matting/blending? I find the ones I try to remove too much paint or leave lots of streaks. Of course it may be my technique. Oh and liked and subscribed! Thanks for the cool video.
Thanks! I use 'filbert brushes' for blending.
@@SmallSoldier thank you! Are they synthetic?
@@carnajom8831 Yes, a moderately price synthetic type. Don’t go super cheap or the bristles will end up in your paint work.🍻🙂
@@SmallSoldier Thanks, will give it another bash
@@carnajom8831 Your welcome.🙂
What is your brush care process for using kolinsky sables in the oil painting process? I am afraid the oils will ruin my brushes. So far with oil paints I have used cheap synthetics and after a few sessions the brushes lose their point. Also, top notch work. I really enjoyed your painting process and tutorial delivery.
Thanks! I clean them in odorless thinner than use "The Masters" brush cleaner and preserver as a final clean.
When you're blending, is the blending brush being used with thinner?
No thinner on the brush. Clean and dry.
Are you planning to do some tree building tutorials 1/35?
Not immediately, but that's a topic worth doing for sure. Thanks!
Hi Scott, awesome work as always and excellent tutorial. Regarding drying times, have you experimented with fast drying oils like W&N Griffin Alkyd paints, or Gamblin GALKYD fast drying medium?
No I can’t say I have. You? Did you like it?
I am using W&N Griffin Alkyd oils and I really like them. The drying time is about 45mins but likely longer on cold days, and can cure overnight depending on the paint layer thickness. They dry to a satin or matt finish much the same as the ones you’ve been using. I hear regular oils can be made to dry in the same way by adding a small amount of GALKYD, Liquin, or VMS Oil Expert to the palette. I mainly do armour and AFV models. I’d love to hear your thoughts should you give this a try.
@@mariocueva8700 Thanks! I have a lot of oils so I'd probably stick with what I have. In the past, I've used Liquin but found it gave such a glossy finish. I now use odourless thinners to blend and I find it generally gives a better final finish. Cheers!
Hi. What video editing software do you jse?
Power director
Awesome!! New sub here. I ask before in a older vdo so i ask you here again. What is the brush name you are using and where can i get them? Specially the smallest one.. Thanks
Winsor Newton 000 for the smallest.
Help: I just finished painting a figure I sculpted but had the hardest time blending. The oil paints wouldn’t blend. Weird. Maybe I left them to long on cardboard to drain excess oils. Thoughts ?
I only leave the oils on cardboard for 20-30mins then transfer them to a smooth white wall tile. You don’t want all the linseed oil eliminated, that’s what keeps the oils fresh. After a session of painting make sure to cover them in a sealed plastic container and never leave them in direct sunlight either. Hope that helps.
Because this be a portrait bust of actor Robin Williams in his role as 'Popeye' had the thought of acquiring reference photos of him from the movie or other sources ? Would that be of help or not ? And if 'Wimpy' becomes a figure to paint please use a hamburger as a base..............cheers.
It was based off a photo of a British navel sailor but the resemblance to RW is definitely there. Yes if wimpy becomes a thing on a Whopper he will go! 😉😊
Thank you for sharing. What is a good drying method for the oils between layers.
I like to use a crock pot set on low for about ten minutes. Just don’t forget to take it out like I did on this bust. You saw the damage it did. A safer method is an aluminium lined box and light bulb.
Thank you. I did see a how to on the box. I will try that first.
@@jerrypf4373 Yep, probably a whole lot safer.😉
awesome !! what's your primer used on figs? sand? and what is the link to your FB page?
Primer depends on the project. I mostly use Tamiya rattle can but use Mr surfacer and StynyIrez from time to time . I do sand lightly after priming.
Go to my UA-cam home page and in the channel art there’s a tab that links you to all my socials.
Oil paint on to cardboard, Surely it will suck all the oil from the paint.
That’s the idea. It helps the paint dry faster and Matt.
