Thank you for this video. I agree with you that DIY oil washes are very economic. Personally I restrict the use of cheap oils sold in multipacks, especially the Chinese ones, to rough and ready exterior washes. The reason for this is that they typically have a larger pigment size than those in the more expensive oil paints. You will notice the difference when you compare washes on aircraft. The cheap oils are far grittier.
nice tips there pal be carfull with tamiya glass bottles and mixing balls as you can break the glass if your unlucky i personally find the windsor newton oils are way better and make a nicer even mix than the cheap oils but its all down to what you prefer
Windsor Newton I wouldn’t recommend for the beginner though. That’s more of a you know what you are doing and you have good results so you buy the expensive tube.

Thanks for sharing!!
That's a really helpful guide. Thank you. The only other thing that I'd suggest is to include the dilution ratio on the label for future reference.
That's a good idea!
Very nice!
