Sorry, sorry everyone, this is my fault I was rewatching all his prior white videos this week because every few years I decide to challenge myself by painting in white and black and Vince is my source for actually learning how to work with colors. Thank you for the color videos, they fill a big gap in my understanding of how to paint.

Vince is my encyclopaedia of hobby thinking, I watch other people paint, I learn things from Marco, from Riccardo, the Wappel, I'm inspired by Alex and many others but when I need a specific subject analysis, when I need that full understanding to slot into a project, when I want to paint black hair and get the halo right, when I want to take flesh tones in an evil or underground direction, when I have 50 yellow marines to paint, I come to my reference library that is Vince. I'm so grateful for it. There's no-one else that comes close

@jorgemontero6384 2 месяца назад

That AK pastel purple is a killer that I am surprised you never mentioned in your list of favorite colors, because basically nobody else in mini painting makes it, and it's just as good illuminator for purples and magentas as ice yellow is for many other colors. Ice yellow just overpinks magentas. I just don't touch purple without it

@flowersofsulphur5532 2 месяца назад

Some really interesting points. Thank you for taking the time to share. I was hoping you'd also cover the use of white to lighten colors and things to think about (e.g. for edge highlighting if you don't have a go-to pot of paint that is already lighter/brighter that meets your needs. So for example - what are the pitfalls? ... and do you need to sometimes think to offset by adding white + another warm/cold color?).

@VinceVenturella 2 месяца назад

In general, I just mix in a little bit of those pastel near whites into my base tone to knock out the edge.

I've been doing some of my highest highlights on S2D lately with the updated game color Verdigris. That's a really great way to see how composition and surroundings influence how color reads. No one would assume it's verdigris without being told. It reads as 99% dead white next to so much payne's gray and black.

Something that helped me was just to think of it as painting a light colour, rather than painting white. So a light green, light pink, light blue etc. Then when it's surrounded by darker colours it reads as white even though it's not.

@VinceVenturella Месяц назад

Absolutely agreed! Hope you're doing well sir.

@rhag1394 2 месяца назад

Great guide again! I stilm find white very challenging to paint, but artists acrylic zinc white has helped me smooth the colours together. It's not chalky at all and you can even glaze with it but it's not the most straightforward paint otherwise. I got the idea from a Marco Frisoni video.

@notnubilous3804 2 месяца назад

Honestly the thing that really taught me about using white effectively was using artist grade acrylic mixing white, which doesn't really desaturate colors as much as a titanium white. But it really showed me how much depth of white you can get from just one color while mixing it with something else. I highly recommend it to everyone to try out.

@Wijkert 2 месяца назад

I have been experimenting with mixing in white ink into regular acrylics. Ink is glossy as well, so seems to have a similar effect to your suggestion of mixing in gloss varnish into pure white. One extra advance of adding gloss to white paint is that it counteracts the grainy finish. I have "fixed" physical texture with gloss varnish in the past (i probably learned that trick from you Vince... 😉)

@billmalandrino8337 2 месяца назад

Hello! I wanted to take a moment to reach out and express my gratitude. Your instructional videos have been a significant help in my journey through miniature painting. Just before my 43rd birthday, I decided to dive into wargaming. After consulting with friends, I selected a couple of games and purchased the miniatures. Understanding that painting them would be part of the fun, I began watching tutorial videos, including yours, which stood out to me. The knowledge I've gleaned from your content has been immensely beneficial. Although I still face challenges, I'm feeling increasingly confident with each miniature I paint, all thanks to your guidance. Interestingly, I've discovered that I derive just as much, if not more, enjoyment from painting as I do from playing the games themselves. So, thank you for generously sharing your expertise, and continue being amazing

That is a really interesting point about adding the gloss varnish to the white to make it read more white. Thank you for sharing that! I think I remember someone saying something similar for adding gloss black in shadows for reducing the graying effect that matte paint would cause. You have inspired me to try and experiment with going from trying a satin black shadow, matte layers, and then a gloss highlight! Fun!

@brkfstfd 2 месяца назад

Also, another reason to avoid dead white if at all possible that I've found, in my own experience anyway, is that even just a little bit of an actual color (so I'm talking ice yellow, glacier blue, verdigris, pastel-whatever, and not just a white heavy gray) is they tolerate glazing quite a bit more. Enough that I'll do it. I don't even bother trying to glaze just white.

@PhD777 2 месяца назад

Vince, another excellent informative video! There was an excellent, more in-depth article on painting white some years ago on Planet Figure about painting a French Imperial Guard 3rd (Dutch) Regiment large scale figure wearing a white uniform. It was done with warm shadows similar to your cape. On Historical figures from the late 18th to mid/late 19th C. You will find "dead white" used on belts, straps, and similar, especially when painting 15/18mm miniatures to make the belts, straps, and similar stand out.

@michaelshaw1782 2 месяца назад

You can tell it's a good Hobby Cheating when you come away with more questions than you started with. How do I desaturate and darken my compositions to make the whites pop without losing the impact of my colours? Can I use varied tones to add visual interest to otherwise very flat white compositions? Very interested to try starting at a bone hue- previously I've been painting my way up from a tan/zandri dust kinda startline. Suddenly I'm excited to play around with white as a colour rather than avoid it

@VinceVenturella 2 месяца назад

Let me take these in order. 1) The darker the piece, the less you have to go to white to make it seem like white, the more the value can lower and still feel like white. 2) Yes and you should. 3) Absolutely!

@TravisHi_YT 2 месяца назад

As a rule of thumb, never use pure White in anything (similar to how you should never use a pure Black) and mix in tiny amounts of accompaning tones found in the scene to tie the piece together. Keep those Videos coming :)

@bradlothrop4076 2 месяца назад

Why not get into mixing? Titanium makes pastels when mixed but a "zinc white" is a good mixing white for lightening a colour due to being a bit transparent. I find this fact is where many paints go wrong much like titanium is added to a colour as more a gouache (to make opaque). This was observed a bit with the Army Painter Fanatic paints. Zinc white is the little known hero of how to lighten a paint and maintain some level of saturation. Great video and good note on gloss to make white read better.

@Ryadic 2 месяца назад

What kind of white would you recommend to put down as a base for glowing colors? I'm new and the first time I did this on the Ultron MCP model, I put down Bold Titanium White from Pro Acryl on the glowing underparts of his model and then glazed over colors to give it that glow. Can't remember where I learned this, but you didn't seem to mention using white for this. I'm wondering now if a white that leaned towards my glow color would have been better.

@ILikeYous 2 месяца назад

When using wash/ink white to recess wash lines so you can color them and make them look like they are glowing, like a 40k Space Marine Librarian Armor or a AoS Chaos Lord do you use one of the near white colors or go straight for flat white in whatever mixture you use? I know oil washing is popular but I am referring to acrylics as I don't break out the oil paints unless I am going for bulk painting or display/contest quality stuff.

@VinceVenturella 2 месяца назад

Either can work really.
