Hi! Thanks so much everyone for watching and commenting!!!! Unfortunately there's just wayyyy too many questions at this point to get to all of them, would any of you be interested if I made a Q&A video where I address several of the common questions I keep seeing in the comments of both my videos???
I felt myself immediately falling into a pit of existential angst, only to be pulled out at the last moment by the deep understanding in that horses eye.
I’ve been painting for awhile, but haven’t tried this technique of painting mainly with glazes. This was really informative, thank you! I also enjoy your subtle humor. Keep it up!
Dana my name is Giovanni (from Italy) I work in a chemical laboratory specializated on paint and it's composition, the mistery of medium isn't made from star dust or other magic things but it's made of a solution of acrylic resin (linear organic molecule) that give to paint the grip on surface. When u ad water u destabilize the viscosity of paint but is doungerous for cover of the surface. For this problem Vallejo product medium that is resin multi-compatible with low viscosity that help the painting.
Very true. I too only use water to clean my brushes using acrylic. I use acrylic dilutant like flow improver or varnish/medium to get liquid acrylic paint
This channel and your tutorials are what I was looking for since I have started this hobby...At last...The search is over...I cannot believe that I understand these concepts now...THANK YOU...THANK YOU
This has completely changed the way I am going to paint going forward. Stumbled upon while I was looking for a way to improve the Manticore I'm doing atm. My model went from eh, to holy moly I love it haha Thank you for showing us this way to paint!
I’m new to painting miniatures and airbrushing. Of all the videos I’ve watched your’s gave me the most information and got me the courage to try this. Under painting is my chosen method.
Really enjoy your take on the video tutorial genre. Especially going over and showing each step in detail. In an upcoming video can you go over how you choose your color schemes? I tend to default to muted colors and would love advice on how to brighten things up and be more risky in that area.
Wow! .. you've just covered glazing in an understandable way... I can now see why I'm so bad at it, and why certain colours are a nightmare to glaze with!! - Can't wait for more videos - Thanks!
Yo, this is the best guide to glazing that I have seen. really breaking things down to basics while showing a model's progress start to finish. Thanks!
So glad I found your page! I love the color choices for your undead! I can't wait to use the undercoating technique. I've never heard of that and think that would make my life a lot easier, since I have so many minis to catch up on. Thanks for sharing and please keep up the awesome work!
Amazing video. Incredibly informative and useful. I've been wanting to learn how to glaze for a while, and I like how this video took the time to teach each step from color selection to mixing in the medium rather than jumping to painting as most videos do.
This is extremely informative - watched a lot of movies and they just tell, no-show, kudos for making an extra effort to actually show everything in detail :)
Hey Dana, I know this is an older video but it might be worth noting that you make two references to videos you'll link at the top but don't. Great video and have a good one!
Best video I've ever seen on glazing miniatures. Good pacing, easy to follow and understand. Liked the donuts and quirky Canadian humor (er... "humour").
great video ! i've been trying to figure out methods of painting with washes over white primer , and then working towards sketch painting , of course then GW comes out with Contrast Paints and get very similar results in a single step . your glazing method , while obviously more difficult than contrast paint , gives really nice results . i'll have to give it a try !
Loevy tutorial. I will check your other stuff soon. Love the "screw it, this take'll do. I'll just paste some after effects over my mistakes" approach.
Lol your videos are great, please make more. By which I mean, you explain miniature painting well, but keep it fun, without also being overbearing. A Q&A video is probably a great idea.
Thanks to Midwinter Mini s I m here :) and very happy, Well done and thanks for the tips. Going to buy me some glazemedium :) ...did the same proces but without :O homemade wet pallet upgrade: use a fake chamois leather in place of a wet papertowel... Keeps a better and longer paintconsistentie :) Hope to see more of you and painting ;)
Hi Dana, I followed your underpainting tutorial and this Glazing tutorial and it was very useful to me. Unfortunately I don't have an airbrush, I don't have NULN oil and the only medium I had was matte. So? I did experiments. I used a first coat of dry brush with Bonewhite, and then a second coat with white to make the details stand out. Well with the airbrush for sure it gets better, but still it works quite well. Then I started with Glazing by mixing color, medium and water in equal parts. Unfortunately I realized that (probably because of the medium) the color was too dense and so I had to abound with water ... but in the end it came as I wanted. From here on I started playing. Yes playing, don't paint, because it was a lot of fun and I soon forgot what I was doing ... and ... so my poor minotaur now finds himself with beautiful blue muscles tinged with pink ahahahha !! Of course I can still improve a lot, and for sure adapting so your tutorial does not do it justice, but already so I have drastically improved the color shades and the general appearance. Thanks a lot for these tutorials, you are very good (and I dare say, also very pretty). Keep it up. P.S: Sorry for this English, but I'm not good at languages and I translated through google translator.
Thanks for the tutorial, I've used glaze medium a number of times and find it very useful but never tried glazing in your method. It looks great and definitely what I need to try!
Excellent Dana. Thank you. I've just ordered my first ever glaze medium - it's Vallejo and expect it to arrive today. I can only hope to get something similar to the effects you achieve here. 🤞
"The Blue shade... Whatever the Blue one's called." -Mastercrafted advice! This is exactly how I would describe something, sis! This guide may be great for making really cool Tyranids!
Very useful, thanks. I'll bookmark this (and your previous underpainting vid) for reference when I finally get to painting the small parts of my modelling. Thanks again :)
Amazing results, i needed this tutorial badly! Just starting Painting, bought a vallejo set with some colors plus glase medium!! Thank you, very useful video 👍
Ya know when someone explains something you haven't been able to wrap your mind around and you get that 'ah ha! moment? Yeah, that's what haooened here for me. Thank you very much!
So this means single pigment paints would be best for glazing. I know Kimera says this a lot about their colours but now I have a really practical way to try it out.
This is a fab video many thanks for posting. I want to start painting more creatures but didn't have a clue how to blend colours so this has been a real lesson for me. Will definitely give it a try soon!
Seen so many glazing "tutorials" and every one of them miss a step you included and where I realise I've been going wrong.....wiping off some of the glaze on the paper towel
Thanks for this video. Recently I haven't been doing much with painting you know how how it gets haha but this video has inspired to try glazing...thanks alot
Thanks for such a rad video! I've been a bit shook about even starting painting, but this really broke through for me in a way other tutorials haven't. Great work, it's pretty cool!
Thank you Dana, that's probably the best explanation of glazing that I've encountered in all of my print/video research and again, you're extremely funny to boot (how do you say that in Canadianese?). Take care and thank you again, I plan to use some of the glazing basics on 1/12 scale Airfix figurines.
Wow, I am starting miniature painting and so I am a total beginner but that was one very detailed walkthrough. I really enjoyed your video and I am a little bit sad that you only have a handful of videos. Nonetheless, keep up the good work! Amazing tutorial and great tips, especially for someone like me! Subbed and liked! Can't wait for more and greetings from Austria!
Is it just me or were you always on the verge of cracking yourself up? You look like you're trying not to smile, It's cute and endearing. Keep up the good work.
"why are we even doing this?....." *pause for deep thoughts* That cracked me up! Really enjoying the tutorial, i've not got an airbrush yet but I think I might give this general technique a go with drybrushing for the underpainting part, looks like it will be great for some colorful daemons. I enjoy how potentially freeform this method is, looks like fun :)
