      @sergio, although I agree with your statement I have yet to see an oil artist painting on canvas wearing a respirator. I am curious why that is because artists have been painting with oils and using different turpentines for ages. Cheers

      @@frankn4576In terms of using it for miniatures, you're generally holding the miniature close to your face, which means the chemicals are also close to your face. It also means you most likely would have whatever spirits you poured out nearby as well. Easy to make the mistake of working with it for too long without thinking of the danger because it's odorless.

    Thanks not Uncle Atom for actually showing that you need to do some minor cleanup with washes and just how much faster and easier it can be to get to a playable color with low effort efficient painting techniques. As an avid painter I am always trying to teach non painters that you can still have a decent looking army or warband very easily and this video will be added to my arsenal of proofs.

    For Space Marines, I like to edge highlight by drybrushing BEFORE washing. This is because I dry brush in a much brighter shade of the block colour and the wash actually tones down the edge highlights without removing them. I do this because I don't like the "Tron Effect" you get when edge highlighting last.

    So maybe the enamels damaging paint had something to do with that? A varnish fixed it easily

    Big shout out for bringing up Gamsol odorless here. I recently had to seal a new desk top and had decided to go with tung oil, which is better applied in several coats diluted in progressively less mineral spirits... But I knew from experience most "odorless" spirits still smell awful. I went to my local art store to look for Gamsol, still asked the people there for their advice, and the fact that it is truly odorless did not strike them as an important piece of information, so your recommendation was indeed critical in getting a product that is genuinely odorless. Huge thanks.
    edit: also, quick note. While it still emits fumes and all and it's always good to be careful, the reason odorless spirit is odorless is that the aromatic hydrocarbons were removed from it. And not having these in does make odorless spirit *substantially* less toxic than regular mineral spirit (also substantially weaker as a solvent, but I suspect this is actually a good thing when using it on painted minis).

  • @ThomasGallinari
    @ThomasGallinari Рік тому +2

    I'm using oils to do the same thing but I kind of regret not using grime enamels, because oil takes really long to dry and if I try to clean it after 15 minutes I remove it all, and it all depends on how I thin down the oil with mineral spirits, which obviously is different each time. So if I had to start again I would buy ready to use enamels, looks easier from what I see on the Internet.

    From roughly 2011-2014 I had gotten into primarily painting this way using P3 for my block colors and Army Painter dip technique for the shading, and it was the best I felt my minis had ever looked. Fell off for several years due to having kids yadda yadda and since I got back in I've just been doing the AP speedpaints over varying derivations of rattle can zenithal or slapchop. Watching this has me a little torn. With slapchop starting from a brush-on primer, I really like that everything before the spray-on varnish is water-based and therefore incredibly simple to clean up. But I think I'm still inclined to like the look of the enamal wash shading a bit more. Maybe the expanded Speedpaint line will help with that, but you've certainly got me tempted to blow up what I spent my money on this past year and go back to quickshade. 😅

    Not to start the whole argument about whether to strip or not. But how much difficulty would an enamel wash add to the stripping process? My first thought it to do this to field an army fast, then you can go back and strip one at a time and repaint with more detail (especially after you get some painting experience under your belt). But I have a feeling it will be a major headache to do so. Contrasts are probably the better option for that case.

  • @NeoDemocedes

    I've been using a nearly identical process for years. The only difference is I prime in a lighter gray, and use a black wash of my own devising. The lighter prime is necessary for me because I use craft paints where the lighter colors have trouble covering dark colors with two thin coats. And as for black vs brown wash, it's just my preference.

  • @betelgueseprocyon364
    @betelgueseprocyon364 5 місяців тому

    I actually have a theory on why your bottle of streaking grime leaks so much, when you first open those bottles they have a thick white foam/plastic seal on over the bottle but under the cap which stays attached to the bottle when it's new. You have to remove that little seal to get at the wash but I believe you are supposed to actually keep it and shove it up under the top of the cap instead of throwing it away. It's a little difficult to describe but I have a bunch of those wash bottles and the one without a seal(I threw it away) leaks all the time. Kind of a weird design...

    Another source for "T-Shirt material" in case you don't currently have any old T-shirts to sacrifice to the hobby.... but there are cleaning patches available at outdoors/sporting supply stores generally intended for cleaning shotguns that are made from perfectly precut 2"(ish) to 2-1/2" sqaures of t-shirt-like fabric. I think a bag of a thousand costs around $8 or $9, and I am sure they could be available on Amazon as well.

    Interesting vid! Your pragmatism is a much welcome take, that I find balances out the input that I get from other, "fancier" sources. Question: how would you say enamel washes compare to oil washes? They seem to behave very similarly in terms of uses, application method, drying times... I'm guessing one obvious difference is that the enamel wash comes "ready to use" out of the bottle, whereas you have to make your oil wash with oil paint and mineral spirits, but I wonder if there are other nuances we should be mindful of? Thanks!

    Tamiya makes those cotton swabs as well, and they offer several different sizes. Quick question though, do you see any difference in doing an enamel wash vs. an oil wash? I'm about to use this general method on a Ravenwing army for 40k, but I was going to use a Paynes Grey oil wash, maybe with a little Starship Filth or Starship Sludge as well.

    Ive been looking for this exact advice, i love the grimdark technique with enamel washes, bought enamel paints plus AK streaking grime and makeup sponges, white spirits etc Looking for this style of painting using enamel washes is kinda confusing here in youtube, many youtubers ad so many steps and twists, and turns even before aplying the wash like zenithal, contrasts or dribrushing, varnishes etc make the whole simplicity of this technique more complicating than even highlighting, blending etc. Thank you for this video now after watching this i want to finish some miniatures and projects ❤

    Thank you for your tips in this video. I just recently bought Ammo and AK streaking grimes, etc and wasn't sure if I should clear coat before I use em. I like the effect you got not using a clear coat before the washes. I am a model railroader and my models are half the size of your Minis and always looking to improve how my trains, vehicles, and structures look.

    this technique is so flexible that I use it on Imperial Fist space marines and they look great, and they dont need to look "grimey", you just need to work with the right colour and right consistency for your wash

    I miss using enamels for the whole painting process apart from the thinners and I still have figures from 40 years ago where the paints themselves created a lot of the shading.
    For washes enamels and oils can be considered the same apart from the drying time (the joys of linseed and walnut oil in oil paints)
    Unless you decide to use an unpleasant thinner and poly varnish may not save you from turpentine anyway) you use varnish for two reasons.
    1: Provide a restore point so you can work on removing your entire oil/enamel process without worrying about the acrylics.
    2: To change the behaviour of the surface, gloss to encourage wash into the recesses even further, satin to have some more surface coverage and matte to keep the wash on almost everything (also gives a texture if you go for ultra matte varnish.)
    Although I miss the old modellers enamels, I don't miss what were not fine ground pigments, no decent matte varnishes and the stupid litttle tins

    this is actually kinda perfect for painting the underskeleton of my Imperial Knight model, i'll for sure be doing this.
