    Sure it’s a simple video but it’s a very informative on how to work with inks correctly. I wish more guys would do things like this to help everyone understand from novice to expert.

    Really appreciate these basics videos, Luke. I’ve played around with my own washes but never really stopped to think about what components I need to get the right result. Cheers!

  • @Mommamacnz

    This was really helpful. I have never done any model painting but I enjoy watching what you do and videos like this are encouraging me to consider doing some models/dioramas for myself.

    Love the back to basics theme, I've taken so much for granted with pre made products etc that I've never learnt the basic principles of painting or terrain building.
    Cheers for the videos looking forward to more and catching up with the back catalogue. 😁

    @TheGoldenDragon_ 2 роки тому +1

    I like your take on this. It offers far more flexibility to whichever project(s)/mini(s) your working on instead of making a one-size-fits-all shade or wash. It's made me think different how to approach washes and shades. Thanks for the tips here. I appreciate it. 👍

  • @ShipWreck68
    @ShipWreck68 5 років тому +3

    I like to add a glaze medium to my washes, which pulls the pigment down into the cracks more rather than staining the even surfaces.

  • @ruthlesslistener
    @ruthlesslistener 3 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the video, man. Just started working on my first plastic model, but the washes I saw at the store weren't what I was really used to when I was painting or glazing ceramic pieces, so I chose to make my own instead of buying them. I'm glad I did that, because after watching this video I think I can safely say that what I was looking for was more of an ink and water wash- and I already have an abundance of ink, so that's ideal. Will comment again when it's done with an update on the model itself, but learning the different components of the wash def. made me feel more confident about what to do when I got to that step :)

    love this video mate back to basics but some very important points about washes, started making my own from your video on making nuln oil. Since then I make most of my own washes and learnt so much about washes from making my own and how each part works. I've even given some of my mixes out to friends who love them and how they flow so much better than shop ones. Thanks Luke :)

  • @nickl6820
    @nickl6820 5 років тому

    This is spot on. The best way to learn/master is to play with the materials and mediums. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. I've got ~10 years of experience painting minis, and I always go into a new color scheme or a new paint/wash/pigment wondering what I can do with it. "How can I take what I already know an push just that much further?" which is one of the things that keeps me painting.

    Thanks Luke for taking time out of your busy schedules to explain to younger modelers what precisely Washes do. Me I just simply add Deinonised water to inks and go from there and I do not use Matte Mediums and if I find what I am given is not dark enough , wait till it dies and redo it but in a simpler form, in other words sue more water.

  • @DMNKLR_official
    @DMNKLR_official 5 років тому +1

    One thing people need to be aware of, is what kind of inks to use. In my own experimentation, I did some research, and noted down what each ink type is made of, what it can be dilluted with, etc. Almost every company that makes artist inks make multiple kinds, Pebeo being a big one. Liquitex currently only do Acrylic inks, as do Golden, but Winsor & Newton and Pebeo do at least 2 or 3 different kinds, so it definitely pays off to have that info on-hand.
    Aside of that, keep up the great work, Luke, even these rehash vids are helpful, as always. Cheers!

    I'd like a bit more about flow aid. Ink + water goes into the recesses. Adding medium leaves more on the surface. If you want more into the recesses, why not use less medium rather than add another thing?

  • @matttran7161
    @matttran7161 5 років тому

    If you want strong, sharp lines, consider an oil wash. Basically gloss coat the model and go over with artist oil paints diluted with white/mineral spirits. Itll deposit in the recesses and wont change the color of your models.

  • @paulgee1952
    @paulgee1952 5 років тому

    Nice upload. I think using water without a medium creates a weaker layer for midtone to layer over. Which can lead to flaking and bubble affects because of movement in the veneers of laid acrylic. There is a more technical explanation I've seen on You Tube, from better qualified people than myself. However trail and error is one of the key factors of DIY washes. More likely to suceed when you understand the components.
