In this Hobby Cheating Tutorial, I take you through how to set a color palette and execute a miniature that is in the dim light of the moon. This is a fun challenge as your normal painting light is much brighter, so we have to do our best to desaturate and fake the effect. Hope you enjoy!

What's it like single handedly elevating this hobby? it must be surreal knowing the impact you make. I wouldn't be painting how I do, make videos or look at color the way I do without you. Thank you Vince - you're a good man.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

Well thank you, that is beyond kind. :)

@stevenarena8081 Год назад

I’m literally working on a piece that I’m trying to paint in moonlight right now. Couldn’t find any videos. Trying to figure it out on my own. Then you arrive to save the day. Thank you Vince.

Number 4 for painting moonlight

@VinceVenturella Год назад

You can do it!

@Bloodfencer1990 Год назад

"Brown is a naturally warm colour", you know, I have been thinking about this recently. We typically associate brown with a reddish hue to it or maybe a bit of orange as it is frequently used for leather, but brown can be whatever you need it to be. As brown is a mix of all the primaries it can really lean in any direction. You can have a blue brown, violet brown or green brown, along with red brown and yellow brown.

@rodyle1313 Год назад

Bob ross did this a lot without explicitly saying so. You'd see him mix a brown constantly to fit the scene.

@needfoolthings Год назад

Blue browns are some of the most beautiful colors anywhere.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

Yep, brown is pretty versatile.

@CFTim Год назад

Not really, any brown will have more red in it than any other primary. You can try it with RGB colour sliders. If there's equal amounts of each you get grey. If there's more blue than red, you get purple. Of course you can have some browns that are more bluish than other browns, but all of them will be primarily red and therefore warm to some extent.

@Bloodfencer1990 Год назад

@@CFTim Yeah, but do those RGB slider work on the principle of light frequencies or pigment? Colour mixing is very different between light and pigments.

@trovarion Год назад

We get it almost every night, when that moon is big and bright, it's a supernatural delight. Everybody's painting in the moonlight.

@Temporal_Assassin 7 месяцев назад

BINGO!!!!! I have been fighting with a 1980s Burger King Kids Menu toy Frankenstein's Monster in a grave yard in the moonlight, and of course he is in black and dark brown, so this really helped. Also, I need to find the second video, as I am fighting with a ca. 1812 British soldier in a dark forest green uniform, in front of a camp fire... and not getting it right, so as I watched this, I thought the answer to a darker uniform hidden in deep shadow by firelight would be a full moon to the rear, and then at the end you say lets add a fire! Looking forward to it!

@martinweber2957 Год назад

Nice teaser vince😁

@someguy2441 4 месяца назад

Vince, you mentioned mixing in black and grey for almost everything to desaturate it. What about complementary colors? Won’t they pull the original color towards desaturation or brown? Could that also create the warmth or cold you are seeking,in the shadows? Perhaps you might consider doing a color wheel tutorial from your perspective? I’ve seen other PaintTubers and their explanations, both fine art and miniatures, but I suspect your style would teach us even more. I searched and found complementary schemes, and of course your videos on specific colors.

@ovan2190 Год назад

I just watched JuanHidalgo do a video similar to this it may be the same honestly, but I like the fact that I could watch both videos know what's being discussed, but because you both went for something different I can easily learn something new

@lukewillis1080 Год назад

A big take away I got from this tutorial is that you don’t need to have the smoothest blends to have a great miniature.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

Glad it was helpful! Absolutely, often the value and color is far more valuable than the smoothest blends for visual impact. The blends are just spending more time. :)

@cliffwood7386 Год назад

I almost feel like the model could be better if the bit of the cloak that goes in front of him was removed or moved - it covers so much of his body! In any case, very good video, and I look forward to the follow-up! I'm thinking of doing a torch-lit diorama soon, and I imagine the next video will help a lot with that.

Saw your mini on the warhammer community. Best one in the article in my opinion.

@PhillipAeschliman Год назад

Love your videos, they inspire me anytime I get paint block. But had a request about skin patterns. As in say fish type two tone stripes. What is a good method without the colors just blending to create a rainbow?

@VinceVenturella Год назад

I am not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but generally with those patterns like snakes, you just want to follow the scale line and use two fairly distinct colors while still respecting the overall volumetric light.

@seanmcgrath2049 Год назад

Loot Studios Fantasy puts out a bundle themed around werewolves & vampires, and Vince makes a video about painting subjects in moonlight! COINCIDENCE?! .......I mean yeah, probably, BUT STILL! 🤨

@Swooper86 Год назад

Great video, this will be very useful when I finally get around to painting my Cursed City box! Question though. How would you do this with TMM (both silver and gold tones)? Can't really highlight it with a pale blue or desaturate anything, can you? I always struggle with my metallics on OSL pieces.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

It's honestly very hard with TMM, but for the silver, you need to carefully apply a glaze to shade it way down for most of the surface and leave a small volume of light and a bright silver edge. You can also give it a very light blue glaze.

@tommcdonald7143 Год назад

Because of the similarities in color desaturation, I think a lot of this can be applied to painting minis to appear underwater.

@artycharr Год назад

Tell me, Have you ever painted models in the pale moonlight?

@brutalfunkcore Год назад

This ist such a great Tutorial. I'm painting my cursed city radukar in this scheme. Do you have any suggestions what nmm Gold would look like in Moonlight?

@VinceVenturella Год назад

You can see it on his back, it basically needs most all of the yellow subtracted out of it. It becomes desaturated and weak, effectively.

@ballerteddy Год назад

Nice Video thx. I was thinking about to make a new Mortheim Warband from undead. Where i can get this miniature, Vince?

@VinceVenturella Год назад

It's the Black Library miniature from Games Workshop.

@dannythompson9642 Год назад

@sebastianforsell6981 Год назад

Very nice tutorial and such a interesting topic! What if the cloak is made out of wool? Let’s for example say I want a huldra blue wool cloak?👀 less white and black and more grey? For softer contrast? Do I kill the color of huldra blue or can I kinda keep it?

@VinceVenturella Год назад

You coudl soften it slightly, but I would also change the texture to more hashes as well.

@grey_planet_hobbies Год назад

Could I ask what Brush and Size you use here Vince. Point looks brilliant.

@ChiccoLocMi Год назад

Awesome and informative video as ever! Do you think this technique would work with a grimdark style, too? After all, a burnt umber wash would desaturate tones and provide warm shadows, which would contrast well with cold highlights

@VinceVenturella Год назад

Maybe, I will say it's much tougher, most of those browns are WAY too rich to really sell the effect, you need the colors really sapped out of things and you can't really change the color of those unless they start quite desaturated. Part of the challenge with something like this is that it's a very intentional lighting effect that has to be pretty carefully controlled to sell.

@ChiccoLocMi Год назад

@@VinceVenturella makes sense. Thank you!

@michaelsmith5070 Год назад

How did you deal with attaching the Cape afterwards? I built mine but I've decided to put it together fully as I couldn't see a way of attaching the cloak after painting that wouldn't involve me having to repaint that entire area as it may need sanding, filling etc

@VinceVenturella Год назад

I just put it on with a little plastic glue, then used a small amount of varnish to seal the game and paint over, wasn't too much of an issue.

@Erikjust Год назад

Question any plans on doing a tutorial on claws and fingernails? When speaking of claws that can be anything from painting a large dragon model (the flesh or the undead version) to normal fingers nails on various blood bowl and other such minis.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

That's very specific, but I will add it to the list. :)

@Kid_illithid Год назад

I had an idea for doing a bunch of death guard under red moonlighy, but I’m not skilled enough yet to make it convincing.

@VinceVenturella Год назад

Yes, that kind of thing is going to be really difficult to sell without like a background in a display piece.

@Kid_illithid Год назад

@@VinceVenturella that’s an exceptional point. People would be wondering why they were just red lol

@panagiotischaldaios9972 4 месяца назад

2 questions if I may. I'm painting a heldrake in a moonlight ambience, but more exaggerated with colours like purple, turquoise and dark green. First question is I'm thinking of shading the gold trim with oil paints specifically black, blue and perhaps green and afterwards highlighting it with white oil paint to sell the desaturation and reflective nature of gold under moonlight. Should I stick in just black and blue for the shading or adding green too will help? Note the base is Vallejos green gold liquid series. Second question is can I highlight the base in pastel blue and be done with it due to the exaggerated and not realistic nature of the moonlight or should I add another highlight? Thanks again

@VinceVenturella 4 месяца назад

So that is a very complicated scheme, the real key is that moonlight desaturates and kills the color from things. If you're introducing a lot of colors, that is sort of going the other direction, that is fine, but it won't really have a moonlight feel, which is okay. Now, to answer your questions more specifically, the white with the gold will be tough, but I would desaturate the gold and use some heavy colors as you are describing, make the shadows broad volumes in the gold and the highlights smaller. I think you could certainly bring a little green in, but I would keep it minimal. As to the highlight, I would limit how much you go into the bright ice blue, I would hit that high cold highlight, but only in maybe a spotlight area. Then have the other areas have more of a mix, going to a max of 50/50 or something in that area.

@panagiotischaldaios9972 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much @@VinceVenturella

@fulcrum8583 Год назад

Moonlight isn't blue. Our moon is for the most part a very light grey and reflects the light of our sun, so it is like sunlight only much, MUCH less bright. Also, there isn't blue environmental light from the sky like during the day. The shadows should be black, because the light reflected by the moon is not strong enough to create bounce-light from the environment in most cases other than in the snow. The highlights and mid-tones should be way more dark. Actually, moonlight would make a very bad lighting scheme for minis. It'd be better to paint them like they are in darkness illuminated by a very strong blue-tinted LED-light one or two meters above them. Oh wait - you did exactly that. 😄

@fizberry8705 8 месяцев назад

This is probably a pretty dumb question, but I think it will help me better understand what you’re doing here. Why wouldn’t you paint the mini in a very desaturated way, and then just airbrush a pale blue from the direction of the moon?

@VinceVenturella 8 месяцев назад

Because 1) moonlight isn't blue, it's a very cold light that will tend to bush existing colors into the more blue spectrum, but when you stand outside at night, you aren't blue. 2) The airbrush is a poor way to do this kind of light for the same reason you wouldn't try to highlight a normal mini with just an airbrush. It's not a fine enough tool. We are just painting light, same as when we paint minis during the day (we just tend to assume a pretty average K neutral light), but we are still shaping and painting the light. :) - Hope that helps.
