How to wet blend. How to wet blend miniatures made easy for beginners. This 11 minute wet blending video is kinda different. The video shows the wet blending and painting of the leather armor parts and the horn using Vallejo paints and the Vallejo Retarder Medium.
The application of the vallejo retarder medium is different, but it kinda worked and I am happy with the result. Hopefully you find this wet blending video easy to understand an emulate.

Thank you bro, but I feel I made a couple of mistakes. Retarder medium is a bit too thick when I applied it, and I am not happy with my color choice with the horns. But we willtry it again! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

@raymondpatterson8833 2 года назад

Very helpful! You’re the only person who actually mentions the dry time of the retarder in minutes. Everyone else just says “it stays wet longer.”

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

Oh... I had to observe so that I could share it to you guys. "Longer" means so many things. 😅

@spencersparks41 2 года назад

Your video helped me accomplish wet blending like I was never able to before. I had given up I normally spend hours glazing layer after layer to achieve transitions. This explanation you showed here was so basic, but so well explained! It helped everything I was missing, click in straight away ! Thank you so much for the content you have made ! An for the lightbulb aaahaa ! Moment for me!

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

You are most welcome. I feel though I applied a bit too much retarder medium on the model. Will make it thinner next time. Also the deck tan is a bit too light, the umber struggled to cover the base color ( but it could also be the thick retarder medium ). We will make a couple more wet blending videos bro. Thanks so much for watching! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

@kampfer1945mk 2 года назад

Wet blending is a technique that is difficult to master. I have had a mild degree of success. Most likely due to not using the entirely correct mediums for the process.

@Elfhelm 2 года назад

Wet blending made easy indeed! After watching your recent video I grabbed glazing medium and, on accident, stumbled upon retarder and picked it too on a whim. Looks like I will be having use for it! As a side note - I think making video of "must have paints" (in your opinion) from Vallejo range (or perhaps also their 8/16 paints sets?) could be a great material for new painters looking to get a solid range of colours.

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

Great idea bro! I hope to get a set, then I will make that video. Thanks a ton for watching! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

@RandomGamer1984 2 года назад

The red leather probably wasn’t working due to the orange/yellow tone brighting up when dried. I love using red but it’s the only color I feel you have to always plan 3 steps ahead for.

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

Totally agree! Also I may have mixed too much glaze medium. Too subtle, I had to abort. 😅

@jamminghaze 2 года назад

try adding ink to get/keep stronger tones, maybe it makes these look less greyish. 😉 i need get some some inks too. Good ending result btw. 😁 greyish can be good thing, sometimes too. If that´s what you like or look for.

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

Totally agree with the inks bro... Will do, once I finish the metal shoulder armor. ☺️

Uploading the video now bro. I hope I explained it well enough in that video. Do watch, and tell me if it is still unclear. Thanks for watching! ☺️

@Master_of_Antares 2 года назад

@@DonSuratos just watched it - you tricked me by leaving thinner medium to the end 😂😂 but really, that helped out a lot. So would this be a correct view; - Medium in general makes paint flow better and dry a little slower. - Thinner medium does this while retaining the same properties of the original paint. - While Glaze medium adds transparency, and maybe makes things a little more matt overall. So tl;dr - I need both lol I ordered 2 bottles of glaze medium on Thursday after binging a bunch of your videos. Now I guess I need thinner too =]

@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas 2 года назад

I like you prefer texture over smooth blending. At least for me it comes from traditional scale modeling. Nice video again. Interesting. Any plan to do some gunpla video in 2022?

Thx for video- just to confirm because i did not see in video, for horns did you also apply a thin coat of retarder before applying your light and dark colors and then blending? Looking forward to trying this out tomorrow!

@joshfoss7407 2 года назад

When you're laying down base colors like the brown, I notice that you use use very deliberate brush strokes. Often small strokes from different directions. Other top-end artists do this as well which is totally different from the GW-beginner process of just applying a layer to everything. I'm guessing this helps set shadows and build texture on top of the primer. Is there a good way to learn how to know the technique and direction you use when putting the brush to the model? I feel like this is something artists do sub-consciously, and it probably has a huge impact on the difference on the final result.

@DonSuratos 2 года назад

Oh! I do not notice sir. I just like painting more paints on raised areas, and less on the recesses. Gives me more volume everytime. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
