How to Make Your Own Wash for Cheap - Episode 14 

That premium wash looked good enough to use on minis.

I liked the results on the soap and folkart paint just as well. More than good enough for me. Cant believe I only gound your channel recently. I love watching videos with this type of crafting. You make it look so easy and its satisfying to watch. New sub ✅

OMG thank you I've been looking for a way to make good washes! You're a life saver

I like how he just low keys makes a 'demo/throwaway' scatter terrain I'd pay money for. lol

you got steady hands, dude. I'd spill all over the cutting mat!

Thank you! I’m about to a tables worth of terrain and already have both ingredients for both washes, great explanation!

I am a beginner DM in rpg and I make cool maps thanks to you, I'm also french and I find you very understandable, so thank you !!!

A spray wash?! Your a genius!!! Thank you

Was looking for some more homecooked recipes for painting; saw craft paints in the backgound; SUBSCRIBED!

Looks damn amazing dude.

Sir, you save my pocket. Thanks. 🙏🏻

I see this so good for scenery like porous rocks. But what about action figures? Not miniatures, but something like 8” or so. Would this be suitable for textures in figures?

The cheap way version looks a bit more worn out and weathered. Will have to try this out with regular minis.

Great video. Question for you, I did a wash on a larger piece today and got some white residue. I read it could be that I should use distilled water? Do you have any recommendations on what to do/fix the white residue? Thanks!

Thank you

I make LPS videos and your tutorials are perfect for my new series! (Its a fantasy, supernatural.. etc. series) I hope you're going to continue posting! 👏 And thanks a lot!!

I’d like to see the paint based wash with the flow aid instead of Dawn.

I’ve also found better results using distilled water.

So the idea is to add a little drop of dishwasher on my wet palette, mix my paint with it and water and that's it ??

Hi, question for you, I saw a video where a wash is applied and then cleaned the extra unwanted wash with 91% alcohol in a towel or cloth and I been doing that for my action figures, but will the same apply here if I use any of these washes? I don't do miniature terranes, only action figures so I'm curious if the alcohol will messed with the mixture or soap or the flow improver

Great video! Could one use this as a brush on application or would it settle in the same it is sprayed on?

Well, now I'm curious how it would turn out using flow aid in the paint and dish soap in the ink? 🤔

Cheap wash takes it. Difference with premium not enough to justify price, especially on terrain.

any paint or like oil based or acrlic

you put a black wash on a black based terrain piece. What does it look like on a lighter based/colored item, say a white based object.

Sucks RU-vid didn’t show me this when you upload but late then never

Would you recommend setting up a a paint booth?

What about for LARGE minis? xD I have a Roc I have to paint and I'm DREADING the shading part

how much water (ml) you add roughly?

Why don't you mix your own high quality wash for minis? Wouldn't that give you more control to get exactly what you want?

Underrated Channel🤌🏻

Can i use acrylic paints that are meant for canvas? Or do i need specific ink/paint?

I liked the cheap wash better

I can’t like the video, but thank you. Great short vid.

Cheap wash is better

don't do l shapes

I get that you have called your more expensive product combo - a “premium” because of price…..but holy! Acrylic vs the standard ink ( which is what you’re using ) ..,where Acrylic is the quality product - every single time!! It comes down to what’s is providing the colour to each of your mixes. Acrylic is pretty much 100% going to be a Pigment and the Ink will be using a Dye. Although using dye to provide the colour has its uses, you have to remember one big thing. Dyes are incredibly susceptible to fading . So much that black ink can go from dead black to barely being noticeable. It fades so much and so fast that it can actually disappear on the work. In a consistently daily lit studio, I’ve seen it disappear in 3 months. These dyes just really don’t hold up to any well lit environment. Pigments are a totally different thing. These days it’s pretty hard to find acrylic paint, where the pigment used matches or is worse than a dye when it comes to sensitivity to light. And “pigments” are the key to that stability. So you can have an ink wash that you paid more for the parts of it ( mainly the liquitex flow release - a product that’s totally worth it) - and it may even behave slightly than your first mix of wash. But, dude, what good is it if it just changes it’s appearance over less than a year removing the effect that you paid for - and ends up just going away? If you love using ink for whatever reason, buy a pigmented ink. Make sure it says it on the label. And an acrylic ink would be incredibly better. Slightly more expensive - likely. But it’ll be there 6 months or 20 years from now. And because it’s acrylic, you’ll be able to do different effects on top of that dried wash and never accidentally wipe it off. Most scenery and gaming will have good lighting over it to enhance its appearance and gameplay. But if it’s ink on that mini or scenery, that awesome lighting will be fading that nice ink wash effect you’ve done on it just much more quickly. As much as I used ink in my washes a long time ago, I’ll never use it now. I’ve also taught painting as my job, for 33 years. So I’ve got some time to look back upon even if it’s to shake my head. Forget the ink. Choose a pigmented ink or an acrylic ink if you must. Save the work that you are so happy with. Cheers

Here is the original video from Black Magic Craft. Fantasy Forge is a great channel but it is always important to give the originators credit and link to there videos.....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IokSYHu58V8.html

I like you videos but....... So far all you have been doing is remaking Jeremy's videos from Black Magic Craft. I mean they are nearly identical. I understand you are inspired by him but you should be making your own totally unique content.
