Glazing is considered to be one of the main blending methods for miniature painting. If you want to get perfect blends on your miniatures, glazing is definitely something that you will come across!
If you are wondering how to glaze or how to thin down your paint to achive ultimate glazing epxerience (which is really case by case anyway), this is the right video for you.
Glazing is especially useful when painting gradients and smooth transition to get perfect blends. You will definitely need glazing to paint non metallic metal, paint smooth fabric, skintones and much more. In the end you will find glazing is somewhat ultimate miniature painting technique. This is also the case if you want to build some volume anywhere and this can be quite impressive on space marine armor instead of painting traditional eavy metal style like on games workshop box arts.
The miniature is called Warrior of the Sun from Kingdom Death.

This video took me over 60 hours to create when I count in editing, filming and paintng the miniatures. Also, youtube has taken down my previous thumbnail, so that definitely does not make my life easier, but if you wanna support what I am doing here, please consider subscribing and giving this video thumbs up. Thanks! 👊

@JadeJoules 2 года назад

Your videos keep popping up in my feed, and I've watched many of them, but today I subscribed. This video, as well as your OSL one, helped me finally get the hang of some paint techniques I had been having trouble with. I have ADHD, and I'm already a fairly decent self taught artist, so most other tutorials, where they talk about every little detail, made me zone out and miss out on the important stuff I needed to up my craft. These videos told me only what I needed, and waited until after the information was told to start really going in depth on HOW to use the techniques, or variations of them. Also, your graphics and paintjobs were clear and concise examples of the concepts you talked about. Thank you so much for explaining this in a way I could understand.

Hey, It's just after 6:00 am here in U.S. I'm lyin' here with COVID, for the second time, sick as a dog, so I'm binge watching your videos, in order. After having been a miniature for only 5 months, I've learned SO much from watching you paint. Can I make a few video requests..? I think they'll be relatively painless. 1) Make a video showing us a timeline of your work, starting with some of your earliest pieces, getting older as your work has grown, up to some of your latest pieces. And explain how you learned to get your level of mastery as you grew as a painter. 2) Do a video on beard care. I know guys who couldn't grow a full beard if you put a gun to their heads. Like you, I'm one of the blessed ones who can grow a full thick beard but I can't control mine anywhere near like yours. How did you keep that thing so tamed..? Thanks for the great vids..!!

@cubang71 3 года назад

These 5 minute videos are so good that I kinda wish they were longer haha An in depth video of how u glaze would be amazing. Maybe take one area where you use your shiny black primer method with the light source and glaze that area from start to finish. The red leg armor for example in your volume video you just did recently would be cool. That way we kind of get a better understanding of what colors to mix (base tones, mid tones, etc) and where to place them. Keep it up though man. I’m a new subscriber and happy I found your content!

@alexandrekoenig6216 3 года назад

I would like to humbly share my own experience and talk about two "miraculous" compounds. Instead of water to thin down my glazings and paints, I'm using PPG Envirobase T494 acrylic thinner and Lechler HF920 slow thinner (use this last one parcimoniously and with caution to avoid monstruously long drying times). These products don't come from hobby painting, but from car body painting. They keep "body" and density to your washes while making them transparent, keeping pigmentary repartition very uniform, reducing pigment accretion phenomenons to negligeable. Another side effet is avoidig "flouring",too much intensity loss and keeping paint more resistant while the coat is very thin. Aside, these thinners are cheap, about 15€/$ per liter. Smooth transitions and gradients form in a very natural manner. It gives also improved pigment control throughout application, something I would compare in a way to oil washes (AK Interactive, Mig, so on) reactivated after drying, but without reactivation in this case. It makes painting even more enjoyable. I'm far from having your painting level! In hope this will prove helpful to the community :) .

Hey. Nice video. Really appreciate it. I have two questions. Perhaps it was in the video and I didn’t get it. If yes then sorry. Nevertheless... when glazing transitions between two colors which one should I use as a glaze? Example. If I want a smooth transition between blue and yellow should I glaze with blue or yellow? Or maybe a mix of the two? Second question. When making highlights like You did on your Mandalorian/Boba Feet mini. Should I make them bigger and make a bigger glaze area on them or make them as I wish them to be and make a really small glaze area? Thanks a lot for your help. Keep up the good work!!!

@Zumikito 3 года назад

These are very connected questions, you can use any of the two colors, but it is alway better to use midtone. For example, it might be better to put next to each other yellow with a bitvof red in it and red with a bit of yellow in it and use orange to connect them. The closer these colors are to each other (in regards to hue) the easier it will be for you. When you sketch out your shades, midtones and highlights, it is up to you how many you use, you can use 3 or even 10 colors next to each other. There are no gaps between these layers. Watch my nmm in 5 minutes where I use 5 to 6 layers like this.
