I'd watch(listen to) a three hour recording of Vince talking about highlighting. I could be getting work done or painting done. If you could make it so you didn't have to see and only had to hear then I'm in.
I'd definitely watch a 3 hour deep dive on whatever painting topic you want to explore. Deep dives can touch on interesting minutiae that aren't covered by most quick tutorial videos.
Vince it goes without saying, this entire hobby owes you so much. Your video output, content and quality of it all is outstanding. I can't thank you enough.
This right here. Vince has taught me things that years of art school and also being a tattoo artist for 20+ years has not. Vince literally just does all this to help others and the community. In my eyes Vince is a straight up legend. Got nothing but the upmost respect for vince.
Your perspective, presentation, clarity and ability to articulate the point in an easy to understand and digest manner are unmatched. I would absolutely watch you speak for 3 hours on lighting.
A watercolor book I have had this great quote in it (which I am probably paraphrasing): "Everyone knows tomatoes are red; the problem is we paint them that way." Another great video!
Seems like some artists understand these things intuitively, but for the rest of us these sit-down theory sessions are absolutely essential for those a-ha moments. Thanks, Vince! I hope you're making money off UA-cam ads or something!
I would absolutely watch longer form breakdowns. Although I know most of what is discussed, content like this is great to keep these concepts fresh in the mind. It is easy to forget just one of these concepts and then wonder why a piece just doesn't quite look right.
Can I just say, that your tutorials really aren't about cheating at all, are they? They are about the perception of light and then developing and training the skills to mimic (and sometimes artistically overdo) a lightning situation onto a miniature. That said, well done, Sir, again! Thank you!
Painting for over 20 years, on and off, and goddamn there's always something that I've struggled to understand and you clear it up for me. Cannot stress how much it's appreciated.
Hell yes I'd watch you do long form vids like that, you have such a great way of teaching that it just makes wrapping my head around complex techniques or subject much less scary.
Vince, I ***have*** watched 3 straight hours of your videos - the day I discovered this channel! I ran through all of your "Start Here!" and "Basics of ___" before moving onto all the color series videos that you had at the time. So would I watch a 3 hour video of you talking about light? Yes. Yes, I would. I'd probably treat it like a master class and even take notes. But also, don't feel too pressured. A 3 hour video for us sounds like **at least** 20 hours of work for you, if not more. If you want to break it up into an HC series, and just release ~30 minutes a week, that would be just fine by me.
Another really interesting video Vince. Like so many other commentors I would quite happily watch a 3hr video of any of your theories and techniques- in fact, if you remember I've been asking for longer videos for a while! Such videos would be very informative and also keep me company during long sessions in the hobby shed 👍😁. One interesting issue that you mentioned was the "art terms" used. Although I quite agree that in general the actual words used don't matter, when describing things it is helpful that everyone understands the same "language" in order to convey the meanings efficiently. For example, as a motorcyclist "tint" generally means a different thing to me than it does to you - a tinted visor on a motorcycle helmet is darker than an untinted one. Having some knowledge of photography I am happy with hues and saturation and how to create them for the camera (and even in post-processing 🤮) but it would be helpful to have a more in depth guide as to how to do it with paints. Examples of how to desaturate pure mid-tones into both shadows and highlights would be useful. My attempts just seem to end up muddy in the shadows and not believable in the highlights.
@@VinceVenturella 2 days later i have to thanks you again, this gave me the confidence to push myself on a project for a friend and i am very proud of the results
I’d be interested in a deep dive that goes into warm/cool highlights. For clarity- when you say “cold highlight,” do you mean a “cold light source”? Can you have a “cold highlight” on a warm color? Normally something like Glacier Blue is used for cold highlights, but does that apply to warm colors? Do you mix Glacier Blue into red to get a cold red highlight? Or do you just need something “colder” than the base color? Is the typical “partly cloudy day” one that would apply warm or cold highlights? Does it vary based on the color you’re highlighting, or is it standard? Lots of questions and they may be better suited to a video, but these are some things I wonder about when selecting highlight colors.
FOrtunately, I have videos answering most of this already - Night - ua-cam.com/video/pMFN3uNLwNs/v-deo.html Vampiric Skin - ua-cam.com/video/Bb7AJQheUWw/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB Shadow Colors - ua-cam.com/video/cD3bahZd_Nw/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB Universal Warm Highlights - ua-cam.com/video/KHg1yfX-dXI/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
No matter how many of your videos I see, I always learn more than I knew before starting the current one. As I watched this one I thought of your previous video on stones/rocks and remembered how “shiny” the fabric on the lady’s clothing - your ability to make fabrics seem to be silk/satin/whatever is incredible and a great learning tool! As for a 3 hour video on todays “highlight” topic…I’m ready anytime you are! Thanks for another great tutorial!
3 hours on lighting, as a theatrical lighting designer, I would watch that - and love every minute, getting my head round how to get the lighting effects I desire on a mini is very important to me!
3 hour lighting video, I’m ready. Thanks so much for this, there’s many videos on highlighting but getting across the volumes and materials so clearly is a real help!
I would easily watch a 3 hour version of learning to how properly highlight. I'd love to see you doing an example of each shape and painting it and explaining it. Same with different cloths. This video alone was amazing. Thank you!
Great work, Vince. What boggles me is this is a 403th video in a series, and yet it is so essential it should probably be in the top5 most important painting miniatures videos 😊
This really did help me. Not there yet, but followed what you were explaining made alot of sense. And conversely, yes...I would watch a 3 hour video on this if you had the wherewithal to make such a video. Thanks Vince. Cheers!!
Ninjon said something you said was brilliant about we’re really just painting light not color. Loved that a lot as a professional photographer who’s bread and butter is light! Pumped to dig into your channel. This has been one of the best painting vids I’ve watched of the thousands of hours of painting tutorials on yt I’ve consumed. Cheers man!
This is simply amazing. I've been a photographer for almost 25 years and this use of light you're explaining is common language for us but incredibly well explained by you. BTW, in photography we use a technique called "dodge and burn" to increase contrast in certain and specific parts of a picture. Thanks a lot for this excellent explanation.
This was a much needed video. All your hobby cheats have taken me back to school, and have helped push me on to think and paint my minis better, thank you so much Vince
I would certainly appreciate a 3hr or longer deep dive into any part of the painting hobby. You are so easy to listen to, you make sense with using to much jargon and give such great insight into the particular topic you are talking about. I personally think that your vids are to short as feel you have so much more to give. More deep dives please.
I would definitely watch a 3 hour deep dive on light and another on color. I keep trying to read the James Gurney book but that isn't my learning style so it doesn't stick.
This was a great video, I don’t know why but it made so much of OSL and NMM snap into place mentality. Amazing fundamentals. Thank you so much for what you do for the hobby community!
Vince thank you so much for this video! I've always struggled with highlighting and how to do it but watching this video I just feel like something clicked. Gonna try it out on some new marines before taking it to a bust. The images with arrows through were super helpful. And I would totally watch a 3 hour explanation video if it had these kinds of pictures/examples
Hey Vince, thanks for the tutorial on lighting. I'd totally watch a three hour version as well. It would be like warhammer weekly, but painting only. ;)
100% I would watch a 3 hour class on light, volumes, shades, and how to mix paints to do all of those things. Bonus topic: how to represent brighter or dimmer light sources consistently across the mini. Space Hulk minis, for example, should never be in sunlight.
I think many of us would be interested in a 3 hour long breakdown of highlighting. It would be really cool to have some streaming masterclasses/paint alongs with commonly available minis. I'd pay for a seat at that virtual table :)
The forearm wrap on that rat guy at 6:15 is boss. On the parts where the outer edges of a strip are highlighted, are those actually raised on the model, or just painted to look that way? And if the latter, do you have a suggestion for deciding when to highlight the edges versus the middle of strips in bandage-style wrap stuff like this?
I struggle with mid tones, and where to start. A lot of videos I see say to start with mid tones, or shadows using layering to work up. I figured out on my own that I have to plan, visualize what I want. But there’s no substitute for experience especially in color choice. Does the feeling that I’ve missed something ever go away? You’ve helped a lot and I thank you.
Most comprehensive highlighting video I have seen. Very well worded and put together, touches on all essentials. The way you describe highlighting cylinders is not intuitive though and if I were a beginner I would not understand it,
Vince giving a three hour deep dive into lighting? Take my money!
Same!
Same here !

You have my brush!
@@Pumpavius and my paints
I would watch you talk three hours about light.
And also three hours about shadows, please.
Also, the term sticky outy bits is great.😂
My UA-cam auto captions had that as sticky Audi.
It was too technical for me.

Please do three hours on this. This is the bleeding edge of my hobby journey and this was awesome, but could absorb so much more.
I'd watch 3 hs of light and reflection any day 😊 . These videos are awesome! thanks so much for uploading them 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Your perspective, presentation, clarity and ability to articulate the point in an easy to understand and digest manner are unmatched. I would absolutely watch you speak for 3 hours on lighting.
A watercolor book I have had this great quote in it (which I am probably paraphrasing): "Everyone knows tomatoes are red; the problem is we paint them that way." Another great video!
That's similar to a book title I once saw: "How to Paint What You See, and Not What You Think You See." 😂
I would definitely watch a 2 or 3 hours in depth video on highlighting by you 👍
I would absolutely watch the three hour lighting deep dive! Great video, super helpful as always.
I would definitely watch a 3 hour (or longer) deep dive into highlighting, please make this happen!?!
I would 100% watch the 3hr version on this!!!!

You did a great job with this video. I really like how you take such an educated, analytical approach to the subject matter.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and yes to a 3 hour video
Can I just say, that your tutorials really aren't about cheating at all, are they? They are about the perception of light and then developing and training the skills to mimic (and sometimes artistically overdo) a lightning situation onto a miniature. That said, well done, Sir, again! Thank you!
We still cheat sometimes. But yes, you're also not wrong. ;)

Thise minis are incredible paintjobsy probably the best highlighting I've seen. Wow, thanks for this video, this really helps!

I would definitely watch 3 hours of you explaining pretty much anything you are passionate about. That would be amazing!
That's the first time i feel like i understand highlighting
Thanks a lot
Happy to help!
@@VinceVenturella 2 days later i have to thanks you again, this gave me the confidence to push myself on a project for a friend and i am very proud of the results

I am ready for the extended release UHD, I would like 3-hour version!
Vince you are truly a hobby hero!
The amount of paints on Vince’s wall is inspiring
What's in frame is such a minor part of it too...
3 hour lighting video, I’m ready.

Vince doing the deep dives that are actually needed to get folks past the basics. Thank you!
Great work, Vince. What boggles me is this is a 403th video in a series, and yet it is so essential it should probably be in the top5 most important painting miniatures videos 😊
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Vince. This video came at the right time as I'm going to be painting a black dinner suit. So that's not quite as daunting now.
Thanks for the new vid, and I would definitely watch a 3 hour version of this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you vince! This is exactly the kind of highlighting video I was hoping you would do. Your videos have helped me tremendously.
Glad to help!
Might have been your best video. Love it. Thanks bro.

I would definitely watch a longer deep dive!
I would watch 5 hours of highlights. You could call it the best Highlights of Highlighting highlights.
I'd watch 3 hours of lighting talk or a lighting series for sure.
Definitely would watch an in depth video about it!
12:54 Sam is going to be happy that you called out Buff as a highlight color! 😉

Hi Vince, surely i'll watch a 3 hours contents of you theorizing on highlights. maybe in 3 to 5 parts !
100% I would watch a 3 hour class on light, volumes, shades, and how to mix paints to do all of those things.
Bonus topic: how to represent brighter or dimmer light sources consistently across the mini. Space Hulk minis, for example, should never be in sunlight.

Just painted like that. Generally, you want to highlight the edges. The more you alternate light to dark, the better.

Vertical columns can be quite tricky. If you're not careful, a space marines legs can begin to look like stripey trousers.
