      Make sure you dab your brush on a paper towel when you use the thinner glaze mix. It helps avoid putting too much on the model and getting tide marks

    As a visual learner this was great. I struggle to actually make glazes and seeing seeing how opacity sits on the white is a great reference. I've been over watering so it won't stick properly but seems thin enough. That'll change now hipefully

    Juan, just wanna say, you really helped me improve my paintings skills since I started watching you.

    Great video! I wish I'd known this when I started painting. I eventually worked this out on my own, but before that I used to try pre-mixing paint with water or medium and it's just terrible. I really like how you show a range of consistencies. One of the best paint thinning tutorials I've seen.

I painted a bunch of minis and have kinda high expectations towards myself, but also struggled with paint consistency. And I did exactly what you told not to do in the first place. So now I can change some things - thank you! Oh, and also my wife just came in my studio, while I watched this, so I paused the video to listen to her, which was the scene of your little....lickventure. So she WAS kinda confused :D

    But really awesome video and thanks for calling out a common trap people fall for all the time. As someone who has multiple paint lines I work from, having people not realizing each one requires different amounts of thinning to work right just drives me nuts. So I really appreciated you throwing that in while explaining the do's and don'ts. Keep up the awesome videos.

    My biggest mistake that I need to adjust is using those cheese pallets with bowls. They are only ment to hold a few ml of paint but there is no surface area to drag out the paint and control how thin it goes. Pretty much an all or nothing. Other than that I love the 4 thinned side by sides as this gives us a very nice visual of what we mean by thin, to glaze

    • @JuanHidalgoMiniatures

    You make all glazes with only water? Is there any reason to ever use water AND medium?

      You don't need it, but use it if you find water to be too difficult
