I feel like this one was more "Washes: Core Skills", because when you move into more advanced application, things like that KoS can take washes just fine but it requires a more considered approach and using them more like glazes or regular paints but taking advantage of some of their wash properties to make the work a little easier for army painting.

@earnestwanderer2471 10 месяцев назад

I see more and more examples of painters using washes right over the primer layer and then doing the actual painting with layer type paints over that. Back in the dark ages, we always just used an ink wash over the finished model, which is what I still do. I wouldn’t mind seeing an “advanced technique” video on using washes and inks, as well as any tips for using wash type paints for doing blending and transitions. Like shading from red, through purple and into blue. Or shading from brown bark into green branches and stems.

@RexytheRexy 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so, so much for this. I'm painting an Ork army - my first army - that involves a lot of metallics and intense colors that need to be properly aged and darkened down. In addition, it's a Dread Mob, focused on larger models (akin to Dreadnoughts, with a lot of mid to large-mid size mechs), so there are plenty of larger surfaces to worry about. Needless to say, washes are an essential part of that process, and there are a lot of nooks and crannies to take care of. The techniques and tips you provided in this video were really helpful, from explanations of how washes work and their composition to the brushes to use to the overall application techniques. I really appreciate how thorough you are, and how much knowledge you share (I'm also really, really envious of your wall of paints).

@Paddzr 10 месяцев назад

I recently used a wash on a space marine terminator. I stopped using washes because of false perception of "liquid skill" and I wanted to push miniatures with layering instead. I wish I watched this video prior doing that, it would've made clean up quicker. What I learnt for sure out of this is the amount of paint used, 2 brushfuls or 3 for something like a marine is probably a third of what I used and the pooling has been a big issue. Thank you for yet another great tip video Vince!

@davidwasilewski 10 месяцев назад

I’ve found that when painting smaller scale miniatures (6mm and 10mm), Newton and Windsor Inks e.g. ‘nut brown’ seem to be better than the regular GW and Army Painter products. The Newton and Windsor Inks have much less surface tension and so you don’t get the ‘pooling’ or ‘glazing’ effect.

@boardwithpaint 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the explanation of how to formulate your own washes! I always wondered what the "secret sauce" was for this, as I never seem able to produce something with the same characteristics (I inevitably end up creating some variation of a glaze that won't pool into recesses). Also appreciate the discussion of how and why a wash can destroy a brush.

@tychay 10 месяцев назад

the cheapest way to fix it is to add a tiny bit of dish soap. This will break up the water surface tension and cause the homemade acrylic wash to flow into the recesses.

@boardwithpaint 10 месяцев назад

@christopherheintz2634 10 месяцев назад

@@boardwithpaintyes. Both are surfactants (reduce surface tension). Just remember with most artists flow improvers it's like, 1 drop per liter, or something ridiculous. They will all have instructions on preferred dilution. It doesn't take much! And they can only reduce the tension so much! Have fun!

You can also mix your own washes by thinning down paint with water and mixing in some dish soap as surfactant. Nice for terrain and basing.

Hey Vince great as always. Just wanted to let you know I’ve watched a bunch of your videos on how to highlight colors with ice blue and yellow. I’m big into painting armies so I gotta paint fast. My new method is priming warm or cold (something you taught me as well), air brushing my favorite base color (usually ninjons dark plum) then dry brushing your white blue or ice yellow. Then block out my colors with inks or contrast. Then as time goes on and I want to upgrade the paint job I go in and paint over those blocked in colors to finer quality and detail. It’s been great and is quickly rewarding visually

Amusingly, I just tried to paint Shalaxi yesterday while primarily using contrast paints. I was experiencing really bad coffee staining and streaks, despite using two coats of the relevant colors thinned down with some contrast medium. I attempted to re-layer over the streaky areas but wasn't happy with the result, and I concluded I was probably using the wrong tools for the job. Then I saw this video and your example of "bad for washes" model. :) I'm currently stripping Shalaxi and will reattempt painting with more care in mind, and perhaps using more traditional paints instead.

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 10 месяцев назад

It took using Pro-Acryl primer for me to realise why my washes had stopped working how they used to. As I gained more experience I started buying different brands of paints rather than G.W./Citadel and Vallejo. I started using Pro-Acryl and AK Interactive 3rd gen, the washes acted more as a stain. P-A Primer is absorbet (because it is matte) just like the paint, but because it was white primer, rather than coloured paint, I could see the colour change due to the absorption. Light bulb moment followed swiftly with feeling like an idiot because I didn't spot the issue earlier. Great video once again, Vince. Thank you.

You said washes do not work well with areas like flesh, Does this include flesh wash colors specifically Proacryl's flesh wash? also if you have used it what is your feelings on it? I have seen that its a bit more pink/red then other flesh washes which makes it look more "alive" I think, But I have never used it myself.

@VinceVenturella 3 месяца назад

Flesh washes are a strange thing, on small areas like a face, with lots of details and recesses, they can be a game changer, especially when starting out. Across the larger surface of the body, especially on female figures, it can often just cause coffee staining. It's a challenge. Thing slike the pro acryl flesh wash are great, but they need the right area and the right figure.

@Croatoam97 3 месяца назад

Would applying a gloss varnish to a model before using a wash enhance its effect of pooling into recesses?

@VinceVenturella 3 месяца назад

It can help it run and prevent staining to some degree, but it can also enhance some of the brush stroke streaking since there is nothing for the wash to grab onto. It makes it a challenge, but can be great for things like oil washes.

@Lilybun 10 месяцев назад

So if I add some flow improver to the wash I'm panel lining with it would work even better? Maybe even worth changing the shade formula to be a bit less medium bit more flow improver for lining shade purposes? Sweet.

@patmunro1982 10 месяцев назад

I always find, to me, they dry rather fast and I think I may overwork them as almost without fail they seem to get almost 'tarry' thick and gel like and seem to rarely move to recesses and just kinda blob mostly where they are put. Should I just slop them on all over and just leave it? Am I working it too much because they seem to be already drying and not going where it is supposed to? I have used them both on things like space marines and battletech mechs. Mec hs tend to have flat plates but deep recesses between them, would I be better off trying to only pin wash them?

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, the key is the larger brush and working quickly. Once they are getting gummy at all, you have to stop, you want to spread it really thin across the model.

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

So the challenge here is it won't work. I had a very early video about this, but inner glow actually glows, so it needs to travel out. Inner glow isn't a quick effect sadly. Now, that all being said, if you are going for a bright in the recesses, you want someting like a white ink thinned down and then tone the color over the top.

@tychay 10 месяцев назад

Are you sure flow improver has much/any surfactants in there? I thought it's called "airbrush flow improver" because they add retarder to prevent tip dry. Golden sells a separate product (which they now call wetting agent) that's basically surfactants. In the past people used gloss varnish or quickshine in their homemade washes because they contain surfactants that are designed to level the polish when drying. The fact that commercial shades/washes seem to dry a bit glossy make me think something similar is being used there. In any case it doesn't change the tips since there is definitely something there to break up the water surface tension.

@chadamir 10 месяцев назад

When I do a zenithal, the upward facing recesses will often be white as well. The solution I've read for this is to apply a wash after zenithal, but as you said, you end up with unnaturally dark recesses. Is there a solution or is it just a limitation of the zenithal plus contrast paint technique?

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

A very soft thin wash can help, those upward facing recesses will still have some slight shadow to them (basically the mid-tone), but yes, it's one of the challenges of the technique, so you just have to balance it out.

@brayandeutsch6577 10 месяцев назад

I have a silly question how do I wash and color to like a tank like a tiger tank in 15 mm or in 28 mm for like bolt action would it be better to use army painter like a black and brown wash mixed together and just keep it moving and then just clean it with dry brushing and layering or would it be better to do a pin wash

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

It's not a silly question, tanks and similar items with large flat surfaces just aren't made for washes, they don't work, it's a worst case scenario. You want to go to something like an oil wash (which I have previous videos on) or a panel liner and do a more pin washing technique in the panel recesses.

@tychay 10 месяцев назад

Maybe you can just apply a light poke of the wash directly to the panel crevice and let the capillary action pull it along the edge? Then you could clean up the pigments that lapped over onto the top surface very easily afterward. (I don't do models so I'm just guessing here).

@brayandeutsch6577 10 месяцев назад

By making your own wash or referring to the future floor wax and black ink trick which was magic and for those of you don't know what that is and want to make a really really simple wash for miniatures that don't have a lot of detail and you don't have a lot of time to paint you take one bottle of Vallejo black ink and a bottle of Future floor wax and it's probably called something different you put that bottle ink in the future floor wax and then you either dip the miniature in it or you apply it and you have magic it's an old historical trick

Hey Vince, I'm brand new to the hobby (I've painted literally 5 miniatures so far) and I have something that I'm really struggling with so I figured I'd put it in the comments of your most recent video because maybe you'd see it. Basically, I'm having a lot of issues with removing those leftover sprue bits that are left when you cut the mini from the sprue. I've actually been very pleased with my painting progress thanks in no small part to you but I keep messing up and either over-scraping / sanding it or under. I event watched Ninjon's video and I just can't replicate his ability to sand down the nubs with sanding sticks without obscuring the tiny details to the left/right of it. Particularly edges, I have a really bad time of not rounding off edges that should be sharp. Any help you could offer would be enormously helpful.

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

So part of it is just practice. i have a beginner playlist - so definitely go check out that playlist, it has everything you need for your first 6 months in the hobby. Now, some options. 1) You can get a finer set of nippers. You don't need to go crazy, but a solid, flush sharp set of nippers from Tamiya will be able to get you a nice flush cut that you may not even have to sand. 2) Use a lower grit sanding stick, you want something like 200 or 400 so you can work it away very slowly (you can also cut them down to work smaller). 3) your exacto knife is your friend. Soft gentle scracthing with either side of the blade (the sharp side or the back) can help you work that down more carefully. Hopefully that all helps.

@@VinceVenturella I see your point, but I've used a very thinned down enamel desert yellow as a dust wash on tank tracks and lower hull with good results.

@@davidschneider5462 THat would be an enamel wash, not an acryllic wash. That is a horse of a different color due to it's workability time, same would be true for oil washes.

Any way around glossy finish? It really puts me away from washes. Matt varnish? If so is rattle can Matt varnish any good? I don't own an air brush yet. I probably will get one eventually but not at this point in time

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

Good shake and mix before application will reduce it. You can also ultra matte it down at the end.

11:48 and that's my f*cking problem with the newer Citadel shades. They're so WEAK! I want them to tint and darken the area I've shaded! I WANT that high contrast in my miniature. The newer shades aren't doing that, and I have to rely on their contrast paints!

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

They are much weaker, which can cut both ways as you mention.

All those make-up brushes, as nice as they can be for painting soak like nobody's business and are a real bear to get clean.

In the words of Miniac "Washes are for bitches" 😂 which I had actually kind of come to live by but my question to the God that is Vincey-V is. Do you use washes in your competition pieces? And what if you struggle no matter what you do too make it not look like you used a wash all over but it just ruins your model?

@VinceVenturella 10 месяцев назад

I don't all over wash anything really anymore, but I use washes quite frequently, even if only in basing or similar rough textures. I often use them as thin filters or to add tones or something similar.
