I tried it when learning how to loaded brush and I found flat brushes a little bit easier to do over larger areas, so I have no doubt it'll be easier to pick up for ya.
Man, I've been putting off printing any of the OPR robots but now I'm pretty sure I have to tomorrow lol. I love the effects on this project but now I want to see this with neon greens, blue and maybe silvers. So many possibilities! I'd love to see you do some color mixing demonstrations on neons. I've thought about buying liquitex's neon gouaches to try some out. It seems like you can't mix them from the CMYKW primaries but I couldn't find ingredients on neons so I'm not sure where to go next. Thanks for all you do with One Page Rules and Color Theory. I really enjoy learning and trying things instead of paying premium for paint by number.
Well if you switch the base colour from being Magenta to Yellow or Blue you'd easily be able to change the look of things. Using blue and yellow would obviously give you your greens. The thing about CYMK mixing when it comes to paint, is there's no 'pure' Cyan pigments. Light shades of blue in paint form are most certainly Phthalo Blue with white or Ultramarine blue with white, or a mix of both...with white. Which can be Red or Green shade varied as well, so there's no easy access to 'cyan'. But that's the fun of experimenting since that means you can get some really interesting greens by playing with the different blues and yellows, which is exactly how it works with RYB mixes as well..just add a bit of white to make it more vibrant :D Neon's are an interesting thing because neon or UV reactive paint, is actually whole separate pigments, which means I think those Neon Gouache's would actually be reflective. But to simulate them with normal pigments really all you have to do is mix in enough white so that it's bright but not so much it's pastel. They wont glow under a UV light, but would be bright still. The other interesting thing about Neon Pigments is that they have horrible Lightfastness, which means they fade if left in the sun, which is why it only takes a week for "garage sale' posters to fade..:P
Oh my gosh, your loaded brush blending is so awesome! I wish I could get it as smoothly and easily as you did on that wheel, lol. Just gotta keep practicing, I guess! 😅
Paint volume and consistency are the keys. I still mess up my start colour all the time sometimes cause I make it too thin in the brush. The other thing is you can treat it like a base coat, so if the first attempt on a part didn't turn out perfect, just do another overtop and let the last layer be an undercoat..:D
@@PaintmanJourneying Sweet, I'll have to give that a try! I know I have a tendency to give up after the first coat doesn't turn out and just try regular wet blending instead, lol.
I'm probably late to finding these videos, but this guide is glorious! It'd be great if you had the list of paints used in the description or something though! I'm forgetful and have to keep going back through
My latest videos do have a bit extra in that reguard, I do leave a long graphic up with the colours I'm using at the time now, so there's a bit of time to digest what ones I'm using. Never really thought of adding them to the description though..humm.
Great tips on wetblending with a flat brush! I'll have to try that!

WHOOP! The best colours. Nice painting and video
Cool video i love these synthwave schemes
This was great! Good job on the editing as well.
Thanks very much 😸
Those were some epic techniques man! Also your a wiz at editing.
Thanks! If I wasn't pressed to make it to deadline I'd have added a bit more flare to a few of the graphics. Darn you deadlines!
Gorgeous model!
Looks great bud I also like to mix colours in with some metal colours as well 😁 also going with the idea of Mother colour I like it 😁
I also always mix my metallics with normal pigments, so much more control and contrast :D

Gods is that RAD!
This is awesome!!!
man this scheme rocks. Have you applied it to any stand alone troops? would love to see it on some eldar
Just this model I'm afraid, but I do agree that it'd probably work really well on some Eldar too!
Awesome work! What magenta is that?
Quinacridone Crimson from Liquitex, pigment Code Pv19
Dude, no one says CKMY. you're killin' me. It's CMYK :)
I'll pay for the funeral on that one. DKNY must have found it's way into my brain and covered up the fact that I was even making a mistake!
