Has this opened up questions about contast, glazes, or washes/shades? Let us know what you'd like to see next, the most-liked comment below will win a brush set of their choice!
i mentioned this one previously, but it expands on this tutorial. Using contrast and drybrushing to achieve black /purple/green like a magpie feather would be great but larger than this particular feather is something i would love to see
Any advise on a red to orange to yellow fade?
Will this same technique work with non-contrast/non-speedpaints?
@@eldiablopotato yes, but you'll have to thin them to glaze consistency.
@@maxxon99 roger, thank you
Seeing Dinosaurs with feathers on them does present contrast colouring options.
The blue and yellow glaze blend towards the end of video does work. I've used contrast paints on some feathers hanging from my House Escher models.
Amazing, it's all about diluting enough to make things work, or using softer paints, glad it's helped!
I have found wet blending contrast over slapchop so good for getting a similar result a bit faster. To avoid the tea stain effect in between changing colours i wet the area i am painting with a damp brush (not too wet) before painting.
Interesttinnng. I can definitely see how this would work. Thanks man :)
I have been waiting on this video to drop and it didn't disappoint at all. Blending of any style is something that I have really struggled with in my own projects. I can't wait to try this method out on some of my sculptes.
Absolutely not something to be afraid of, this is a great start to concepts of blending. And glazing! :) Thanks man. Good luck 🍀
Thanks for sharing this technique! I can't wait to try it!
Our pleasure my dude :), enjoy it!
Could you make a guide/tutorial for some Sylvaneth models? I think they'd benefit greatly from some of these techniques aswell as drybrushing!
Cool!
Another great tutorial Byron 🎉😊
Thanks, Vicky! The feathers are joined by more feathers, and lots of scales tonight :)
Great timing I needed this about 14 hours ago haha, I did similar steps as you did. just winging it too. I need to get my hands on one of your dry brush sets too.
Winging it is often the way! So many things I have discovered through necessity and experimentation :)
They can all be found here dude, any questions just ask in another comment (replies can get lost) store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing
Cant wait to try this. Thanks for the vid
Our pleasure, my dude :)
2:41 A reminder of the rules:
1/ Don't dip the tip of the brush until you reach the mettallic thing, to avoid the liquid rising up into the bristles where you won't be able to clean it, which will damage the brush more quickly.
2/ To avoid creating a 3rd color and wasting an expensive bottle, avoid putting your large brush still full of paint from the previous step into a new bottle, without having cleaned it properly.
3/ Before painting, remember to say your prayers to Saint Giraldez and Saint Cavill.
I am using a brush that I reserve specifically for heavy tasks, and my blue definitely doesn't care about 1/10000th of it being yellow :)
Also drives OCD painters like myself crazy haha. It's not even my paint or brush.
@@3Xero3 :) the prices of slaying the grey 🩶! You would hate to see my desk at the end of a 10hour army painting spree/nuclear hobby event 😅.
This is just a meme at this point. I'm disappointed if Byron doesn't do those things in a video now. Or paint turquoise.
@@tncujedk34 tru!!
Excellent tuto thank you
Our pleasure! :)
those paints seem amazing for certain things, I need to try more
thanks for the tips
Our pleasure, my dude :)
Would love to see your take on howling griffons!
Thank you
Our pleasure, my man :)
Really great video and such nice colours! I'm definitely going to have to try this on a bird/parrot at some point!
Absolutely perfect! Remember, the smaller, the better, don't be worried at all if it's a tiny part :)
Thanks ill use this technique
💪💪 go forth and paint! Our pleasure :)
I’ve watched 2 great videos from you today. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I’ll see you at Adepticon again.
We'll be there! Also plans for Nova and Gencon, as well as LVO :). Thanks, buddy!
Nice. I will surely use this for my next Blood Bowl team, the Amazons.
Perfect! It's a blast dude. Super fun and super easy :)
this is the good stuff
My fourth?? eighth??? time watching this incredible tutorial. So good for the wings on Tyranids!
A video with either any turquoise or any seraphon is good on its own. But a video that has both is just perfect.
Amen to that! 🦖🦖🦖🦖
This is fantastic. I love seeing new ways to use contrast paint I hadn't thought of.
You said this technique is better for smaller scale. How would you modify it or what would you recommend for a larger scale set of feathers? Such as Yndrasta's wings or other models with a full set of wings.
Great question :)
'widen' the blends, a few more steps, and a bit more dilution.
You could also go through 5 colours instead of 3, etc. The closer colours are to each other the easier the blend.
❤️
Beyootiful
🥰🥰 thanks buddy!
Trying this out on my old Marauder Empire Ogres. Thanks for the inspiration.@@ArtisOpus
Very cool vid. I'm 100% in & gonna butcher your lovely technique
Best of luck, I bet you surprise yourself ;)
This is so cool, thanks for the video. Any tips on doing something like this for, for instance, the runes on a Farseer‘s chest?
Good question, I'd maybe start from white, as you really want that glow in the recesses, and wash/blend towards something darker, you could finish with a little drybrushing (check ua-cam.com/video/Ly5lXNR61rI/v-deo.html) our for some ideas about drybrushing 'backwards' :)
I really like this technique. Do you think it will work the same with layer paint and a regular medium?
To a degree, but better if the medium is one that aids transparency (glaze medium, contrast medium, etc)
That is such a cool look. I want to try it on my one seraphon model. Can you get the same effect with inks using the contrast medium?
Absolutely, or lahmian, it doesn't matter too much. Just keep it thin :)
Well done tutorial, definitely going to practice this.
Can you do a video on how to store/deal with paints over time? I've noticed some of my pants that havnt been touched in months separate badly, and shaking them doesn't seem to help.
Hey buddy, thanks :). Are they contrast, or 'normal' paint?
@@ArtisOpus normal paints. Vallejo model paints specifically. I just find shaking them doesn't do a good job of mixing them back, so if I try to use them the medium comes out and the pigments seem to remain at the bottom
Tell me your gonna do more seraphon?! I need some Kroxigor in my life
See you Wednesday? 😊🦖🦖
What is the product you use to clean your brushes and how does it work?
very nice job, again ... lol I'd like to see how you would paint some lava job but with recesses or crevices, I'm struggeling painting a balrog with it's dark/black skin cracking, that let see "lava" inside.. my plan was to make a yellow base, do a red was and dab the skin with black but... I just keep washing/clearing the figurine as it's not that best... any tips / tutorial incomming ?
Cheers
Absolutely dude. Just work backwards :). Check out our flames video, but best is the flaming skull spell we did a bit more recently, I often start white. Wash and use fluorescent paints, then work up through orange and red to black, with drybrushing! It's fun, let us know if you have any other questions in another comment. Not a reply to this. They get lost :)
2:46 it huuuuurts what did this turquoise do to deserve dipping yellow paint into it
Our poor viewers, you have stuck with me through thick and thin, and will have to be resilient in the years to come :D
I'm not stopping slap-dash mixing for anyone! 👿👿👿
What is the best way to reset the texture palette after painting? Should it be washed, or sprayed in black again?
Just a wipe down with a damp cloth that won't leave fibers before the next session (for dust), you don't have to worry about the paint.
Aesthetically I like a black prime, it's easy on the eyes and helps my eyes to focus, as well as letting me test how my paints cover.
@ArtisOpus do you black prime your dry brush pallets? Just noticed this.
Absolutely buddy, chaos black all the way: it makes paint stay workable for longer, is a relevant testing base as it's my choice for minis, and it lets me test coverage :)
That was so simple to understand! Can I get away with no medium though?
If it's a weaker contrast (some are *very* strong!)
What was that little container of gel like substance and what were you doing with it?
Hey Scott, that's our dampening-pad, it helps release a small and predictable amount of moisture and is a core part of our technique for high quality (non-chalky) drybrushing :). Check out our complete guide to drybrushing, or 'flawless blends' video for more info!
What was the mid brown and grey you used
Hey buddy, I'd use Word Bearers Red, or Doombull brown, this was doombull, our bloodthirster was word bearers, over black they're both similar enough that it doesn't make a difference hugely to the end paint scheme.
On that final shot of the tail, it looks like there's some brighter edge highlighting. Is that just the effect of a light or is there some pale yellow/white there?
That's actually just drybrushing punching through. You can repeat a drybrush (as heavily or selectively as you like/desired), and repeat any steps. It's an organic process, and not linear :)
@@ArtisOpus I love that you answered this and every other question. What dedication to helping the painting community! Thank you!
Lovely tutorial
Thanks, buddy! 🥰
Hi, please can you let us know where to purchase the dry pallets you use? Cheers

@@ArtisOpus brilliant thanks very much. Your videos are great by the way. Revisiting the hobby after a 23 year hiatus and really enjoying it.
This was a cool little tutorial, ty AO, could you give the name of the Song you used?, been trying to find it and cant lol
It's right in the video description at the bottom
@@JingLan69 the name is just who the music is by, not the song itself.
Lotus pond is the song name.
@@darrenj3720 thank you very much :)
Thanks buddy, I liked it too, Ian's idea from the left-field :)
Am I the only one that noticed your pool of yellow contrast actually looks like the seraphon symbol?
Is it Important, that the feathers have a brown basecoats before drybrushing?
I picked something warm, and not black, you could use a grey if you wanted :)
@@ArtisOpus Thank you for your quick reply
Our pleasure, my dude :). Brown is my default currently (check the necron or bloodthirster recently, also tomorrow's video :))
Any videos coming up next October?
I'd certainly hope so, but I'm most excited for 2025's 'Shark Week'! 🦈🦈🦈
The 28th? lol
Jajaja well
Try to doit mixing both contrast un the mini at the same time on just 1 step you Will gain so much time
Using contrast paint for layering seems unnecessarily complicated. Contrast paints are crazy expensive, why would I use them for a technique that can be done with thinned opaque paints?
The result is amazing, no doubt about that!
Contrast is for speed painting. You can absolutely achieve a wetblended colour transition. It’s not going to win golden demons, but it’s going to be speedy and painted 😂
How's it complicated? They're thinning-friendly, don't go patchy easily, and work well with medium, all of which I think make people's first testing or experimentation with glazing/blending more likely to be successful.
Speedy is fine, not everyone has 30minutes to spend glazing with perfectly diluted ultra-high pigmented paints, although of course the quality of the result that can be achieved is probably far superior.
It's all about picking a style that suits the user/requirement, army level and display level are very different things, right?
Also, using paints like this doesn't use them quickly, so I don't necessarily think the price is an issue, using them like normal contrast, all over the model is when they go super-fast!
What do you think?
@@ArtisOpus I found contrast colours reacted differently to thinning with water, both from each other and regular acrylics. So using the right type of medium is prerequisite for the technique your showing. Considering all of the above doesn't scream "easy" to me 😅
I'm sure for Michael Jordan, doing a 360 slam dunk was easy, but that doesn't make the action easy in and of itself...
Do you happen to have a similar video with usual paints? I would like to watch your take on "difficult", I'm always looking to learn techniques currently beyond my skill level ☺️
@@minipaintingforyou That's fair, they differ in strength wildly, so like with normal pain there's no perfect ratio, as each paint needs more/less, with medium or water!
We don't have one on glazing, but I should for sure. Check out zumikito miniatures video for now, it's very thorough :)
@@ArtisOpus thank you!
This is one of the instances where contrasts actually work really well(color blends on small and/or textured details). This and diluting them into shades/glazes. I wish they actually worked for their intended purpose aka being a basecoat+shade in single paint. No matter how hard you try it's inevitable you'll end up with a blotchy finish, especially on bigger minis. Great video though!
Thanks, buddy! Actually disagree if it's a large super-textured area like scales, they're the happy place for them IMO :)
@@ArtisOpus that's true, I should've said textured details/surfaces :)
>blotchy finish
Use glaze medium and/or retarder, it's all in the drying time...
@@electrictrojan6719 that's true but there are some contrasts that are just impossible for me to get right. I'd rather just use the regular approach of basecoat+shade. Sure, it takes a lot longer but at least I'm guaranteed a result I want and I can fix a mistake if it happens. That's the other things I hate about contrasts, it's very hard to correct a mistake in a way that won't stand out.
Love this convo, we'll definitely be covering some other ways to work (using shade style, rather than contrast) soonish. It's a big video on my '4-step' method, so it's in planning currently, but hopefully after the big 40k release we get some time to make a big piece on it :)
Yeah this early Premiere is a auto dislike
We had a scheduling confusion :). It was delete or reschedule
@@ArtisOpus Oh! I was very much wondering, haha.
Yeah buddy, our bad 🙄
@@ArtisOpus and you didnt have the file?!
@@colouredIncognito We did. But putting something up with it being seen by a large number of people and then taking it down isn't exactly ideal either.
15 days is far too early for a premiere. It clogs my subscriptions feed for no reason.
It's nearly an auto-unsub offense.
cry about it
He mentions it in a reply today, apparently he messed it up and couldn't fix it (thanks to youtube?)
@@j2ehyp The original fault was 100% mine, but yes, at that point it was delete fully, or reschedule. Thanks buddy 🙏
Oooh, two videos in premiere mode at the same time, one of which doesn't drop for another two weeks?
That's an unsubscribe for me dog.
You waste my time putting this up 14 days before the video is watchable.
Unless you're currently on fire I'm sure you can spare the 5 seconds it took you to click the link FFS!!!
wow how dare he use one of youtube’s features to plan a video upload in advance, the nerve!!!
Did you really sit there for 2 weeks, just waiting? 😂
