      I agree. I thought about what would be cool to see regarding oil paints would be two particular topics:
      1. Metallics - you said you could talk about them for hours :)
      2. Skin - this is an area I feel should benefit a lot from oils but I still have some trouble with them

    One thing I love about oils is that you don't have to go back to the pallet, because the paint won't dry inside you brush. Also "drybrushing" with oil paints is a dream because of the smooth finish.

    • @eviltables7235
      @eviltables7235 4 місяці тому

      I've never tried drybrushing with oils before, does it work in the same way?

    • @Wijkert
      @Wijkert 4 місяці тому +2

      @@eviltables7235 it's closer to overbrushing because the paint will never be dry. You can have very little on the brush and it will still work. You can blend it later as well. Really like it on something like hair or fur (depending on how they are sculpted of course).

    I've been painting models with only oil paints for quite a while now, and it's really been a learning journey for me. Always wonderful to get some inspiration and instruction from the master!
    The metallic oil (Gamblin Silver) that you're using is probably the best metallic paint I've ever tried. However, some metallic oils are nowhere near as good! For example, the Rembrandt brand of oil colours has pretty bad metal paints. The important thing is to find an oil paint that uses actual metallic pigment, instead of mica.

    If you do that deep dive on TMM oils it would be great if you could get into some of the nitty gritty of the differences between metallic oils and wax based oils, when to use one when to use the other and since they are both thinned with white spirit how to use the waxes with oils. As a separate thought what sort of techniques are there for using white spirit based enamels as the thinner in oil or wax paints, do you need to do specific things to make it work, is it an interesting idea that just makes a mess in real life?

    Wonderful to see this less common approach to using oils. I challenged myself to paint using only oils and enamels for my Infinity Ariadna and Nomads (I was away for 6 months and didn't want to double up my collection of acrylics so only bought oils and enamels), and can confirm its a very quick way to do things! The "lively layers definitely take a bit of getting used to, but once used to it its really easy ^^

    Please make more videos on oil paints. Oils have been the biggest revelation in miniature painting for me ever.

    Well, that settles the conflict I had with myself - more oil painting it is! Wasn't sure whether I would go for comic style or use oils for a current project. This video gave me the confidence needed to go above and beyond.
