    I’ve found that using a limited palette is a game changer. I have tried using multiple different colors on a model to get as much detail into a model, but it can get cluttered on the character very quickly. With my recent converted tomb king army, I chose a simple 3 color scheme (green, blue and bone) and subtle hints of bronze, I’ve made some of my best and most favorite paint jobs. I’m considering a tyrannid army after all the new releases, and I will probably use a bunch of washes and dry brushing (dry brushing is my favorite technique next to doing fades between colors). Thanks for the video and tips! Loved the look of your ‘Nids!

      I've been painting consistently for 30+ years. I think it comes down to time and effort spent. In the amount of time it takes to paint 10 models in layer, wash, highlight I can just about paint an entire army with speedpaints and that is not an exageration. I just painted 15 different models in about 4 hours. Enough for an entire necromunda game. And they look good enough to play with. I doubt i could have even basecoated the same 15 models in 4 hours with regular paints. If you don't love painting or painting is only a means to your actual hobby, that time savings is huge. Once you are proficient with speed paint, it is just SO much faster.

  • @ObsidianCrane
    @ObsidianCrane 10 місяців тому +2

    Not all of us left washes behind when people started pushing "new" techniques and forgeting about washes. :)
    Given your description of the AK washes matches how I feel about their regular paints, I'm very interested in the washes now.
    As a thought I think you need to revisit the "colour theory" converstation - perhaps less about the fancy colour works and more just general conversation about how similar colours work together and how accent colours that contrast are so powerful. The whole blue-grey tyranid on the orange base is a great example of this sort of "colour theory", even if you never looked at a colour wheel or worried about "triads" or "complementary schemes" etc.
    3 things spring to mind after this video about washes:
    1) You didn't cover Army Painter Tones - their wash range - the Light, Dark, & Strong are GW mimics, but their Blue, Purple and Red washes are great.
    2) Washes are a great way to add depth and colour interest to a high flow paint (Contrast/Express/Speed etc)
    3) You don't need to put the wash over the whole area. At 10:54 when you say you could have used a Black Wash and you're right - instead of covering the existent colour you could have quickly ran a little bit just down into the joins between the plates to help with their definition. A little bit of spill onto the lower plate doesn't really need correction, but you can drag it out to make the sort of lines you did for the first higlights to give more texture and depth to the plates.

    Instead of painting the warm areas after, paint them before the wash. The tiny changes the overall color of both the warm areas and the skin giving it the same effect but it’s easier to correct if you mess up during paining the warm areas.

    Although I have a few contrast, speedpaints and Xpress paints, I still tend to use base coat, wash, highlight for a lot of my models. I tend to mix my washes using equal parts Vallejo ink (usually black, sepia or a mix of the two), Vallejo matt varnish and water.

    This is awesome! I think the thing with any painting technique is... technique... you did a "cheat" technique, but still manage to make it look killer because you've practiced it a lot and know how to tweak it and prioritize things like edge highlighting to make it stand out still. I think we tend to look for the "easy" thing to do, and when it doesn't look good, give upon it, rather than realizing there's still a technique and skill required to make it look good.

    Thanks as someone with nerve damage and shacking hands this was very helpful. I have been out of the hobby of painting for years. Using a lighter base coat with colored washes wasn't something we did in the 90's. My kids purchased my first sets of washes and inks for Christmas this year and they have sat there because I wasn't confident in how to use them and painting is very frustrating when you used to be good at detailed work but can no longer physically achieve the results of old. These relatively new product and videos like this I have found very helpful. Thank you.

    Fantastic. I love the focus on how long the technique takes. I often watch videos to observe new techniques and there is no indication of how time consuming it can be so I don’t really know if it will benefit me overall. Displaying a timer on screen or something to give an indication of how long each step takes would be amazing, so even if we are slower or faster we get a sent of what proportion of time each should take.

    I still have a full set of P3 paints that I use and love…. Gonna be a sad day when I can’t get it any longer. A lot of their colors are staples in my painting.

    those deep shades look really nice. didnt see cofee staining at all gets nicely in the deep area and it tints that hight in that middle ground.

    I don't know anything about painting figures but your logo design is striking. The craft of graphic design, in this computer age, has gone down the toilet. It's nice to see someone that knows what there doing.

    I usually keep a wet "eraser" brush next to me when Im painting my models. very useful as I tend to make a few mistakes.

    Both those minis look fabulous, cracking video Jon :)
    Not a big fan of painting so anything that cuts the painting time down is a big plus in my book :)

    I like to make my own washes with Matt medium, water, ink, and a bit of dish soap. Maybe in a future video you could experiment with using washes in this way?

    Was kind of hoping to see Vallejo washes in this video. Understandable however if you didn't have them if you didn't have them on hand. Was wondering how they compared to the overall citadel washes and such. I planned on getting some to try out since they seem to have comparison colors to Citadel. However, haven't been able to find any kind comparison video over Vallejo washes.
    Love this video. I do enjoy washes on some, specially something with a lot of creases or creases that are hard to reach and gives it more of a well shaded look. It works so well in those, then toss a nice layer on top to bring out the raised edges. Smooth surfaces can make it look weird and pooly.

    I never stopped using this technique. I paint units and armies by base coating, washing, dry brushing and then maybe a quick highlight in a couple of key areas e.g. faces and shields. You can rattle through a normal rank and file miniature in 30 - 40 minutes by batch painting in this way and I’m happy with the results!

    Nice temperature contrast on that model too! I also think that using dry brush verses edge highlighting with some thicker paint depends on how glossy verses matte you want a material to look on the model.

    I just watched Duncan paint Angron. He painted 3 layers of silver over black for armor details.
    Easier way would have been paint it silver then wash it black.
    Way back in the day, either The Dragon Magazine or White Dwarf showed both processes. Black over silver and silver over black for chainmail.
