Using a limited palette has always been an interesting idea to me. Using normal artist-grade acrylic paints is also another interesting thing. so I mashed them together in a video!

by mixing colors its important to mix cool colors with cool ones and warm colors with warms. so if you want to get a really good green you have to mix a warm green with a warm yellow otherwise you get the muddy color. same goes for the violett

@dsintheb 4 года назад

Came here to post this. For a purple, you'd want to be mixing crimson rather than a vermilion. Vermilion is far too close to orange, which is why you're getting something so close to brown - ultramarine and vermilion are almost on opposite sides of the colour wheel.

@TitaniumKitty 4 года назад

Thank you! I wanted to jokingly scream that at him lol. But I see I was super late

@SmallBEANville 6 лет назад

The tone of the video is instantly set....."I hate to say I told you so, but...." : D. I dig the non scripted style though. Feels laid back and friendly. Keep em coming!

@distroya_ 6 лет назад

From what I've found through experience, red as a whole is a bad choice to mix with blue to create purple. Red is the combination of magenta and yellow mixed. The yellow is what desaturates, or muddies, the purple, making it closer to brown. If you're wanting extremely vibrant colours use the process primaries; cyan, magenta and yellow.You'd love the results you'd get, particularly green. Also, the best brand for those would be Daler & Rowney System 3. Vallejo *might* sell all the primaries in their model colour range. I know that they do magenta in that range though. Also, I believe the coverage issue is down to how thick the medium is in artist's acrylics. Lahmian medium would help with that. You can easily make it too, and Lukes APS has the recipe for it. :-)

@robertjokebr1480 6 лет назад

I paint miniatures for over 5 years, and except for the silver. I use only art acrillic paints because i live in a hard country, those art paint are like mounting wild horses, needs practice and a lot of feeling.

@williamrawlins5771 6 лет назад

The problem you are having is that your "tube paints" are heavy body. They often use a type of acrylic gel which gives you that glossy look especially when thinned down by other mediums. heavy body acrylics are mainly for building up and adding texture to flat painting surfaces. Soft body acrylics are what we use as miniature painters. They have a decent flow and often cover super well. They use a liquid medium to achieve this.

@Miniac 6 лет назад

That's incredibly informative. Thank you! Is there something else I should be using to thin the heavy body paints?

@williamrawlins5771 6 лет назад

Also, I often paint using 8 colors instead of five. It is quite difficult if not impossible to find a true primary. So instead, go for colors which are known to be just next to those primaries. For example, ultramarine blue is more on the purple side, while pthalo blue/green is on the green side of things. You will still often get dark purple when mixing red/blue. You can adjust the issue by using white to undercoat, with glazes of purple to make it pop out more, or by simply adding white to the mix (though it will desaturate it a bit).

@rachelnorton5427 6 лет назад

Flow Improver mixed with water will thin the paint without losing the pigment load. Also you could try matte medium to bring down the gloss level while thinning the paint. I always varnish with a matte varnish at the end (gloss on the bits you want shiny) to protect the paint. There are a ton of additives you can get for paint so it's worth researching.

@loganoates6683 6 лет назад

William Rawlins Didn’t know that; greatly appreciate the new info!

@staticklingon2182 5 лет назад

I made the mistake of wanting more colors and buying a relatively middle grade acrylic set from Hobby Lobby and mixing it with Liquitex matte medium and it turned out horrible. The consistency was like what he's having in the video and some of the colors just get really light. I didn't have a flow improver but it doesn't matter now anyway, I can see where the money goes with Vallejo and some of the other miniature paint brands. Will flow improver actually save cheap acrylics or are these just going to be better left to my wife for her fall projects? ;)

@OldenDemon 6 лет назад

I like this style of painting video, it’s very experimental and not a not of people are pushing the boundaries and trying to explore many things outside of the regular miniature painting style. Well done.

@jimb569 5 лет назад

I don't know if you have figure this part out yet, but as others have mentioned and you were coming to the conclusion of mixing with more than 5 colors, when you mix Pigments (not necessarly the color you're using but the pigments used to make it) across the color wheel, they will desaturate (in printing we refer to this a the color getting dirty). Mixing pigments that are are as close together on the wheel, will give you cleaner colors. So if you want a blue to go greener, obviously start with a green shade blue, the then mix with a true green pigment or a blue shade of yellow. Once you introduce a pigment beyond the primary, it will desaturate quickly. Hope this makes sense and helps.

@pbice86 6 лет назад

I enjoy your scripted material but this off the cuff method was very enjoyable. I like the “realness” of it. Particularly as it applies to you working through the experimentation in “real time”. Thanks!!

@stephendalton1331 6 лет назад

This off the cuff style was still very entertaining and informative. Your channel was the one that helped me work up the confidence to actually paint my minis so thank you. I know what to do and now I can do it and get better from there.

@TheRunesmythe 6 лет назад

Very cool video, and I think the final finished paint job came out quite decent. As someone who comes from an art background and used "non-miniature" paints for quite some time, I would recommend using something like Liquitex Matte Medium or Vallejo Acrylic Thinner as opposed to using Glaze Medium; while Glaze Medium does indeed have an acrylic binder, its more diluted to achieve a mostly transparent effect (i.e. a glaze) whereas something like Matte Medium or Acrylic Thinner is diluted very little, so it will still thin your paints but leave more of the opacity intact and allow you to add more water if desired because of the higher concentration of binder. The waxy, almost oil-like quality comes from the paints being heavy-bodied; they're actually designed to work similarly to what you would expect from an oil paint while allowing you to still use water and water based products to thin the paints and clean your brushes, so they do give you more time to blend layers into one another which can be very handy for shading and highlighting. As for miniature paints not behaving like this, I believe its to do with pigment density; miniature paints tend to be heavy on pigment to achieve that saturated, high contrast look, which means there's a higher concentration of solid particulates versus medium (this is why you can see the pigment if you dilute miniatures paints to the point where they become "chalky"). The format was definitely different and interesting, and when you're doing something like a product review I'd say it would work much better because you can give us your thoughts and observations on the product as your experiencing them, rather than trying to remember them later on when you do voice over; things that occur to you might otherwise be accidentally forgotten in post production, even if you're pausing to make notes while you're filming.

@grayhaven451 6 лет назад

I have to say that I enjoyed it. I really liked your break down of the different paints.

@deanmesenbrink8527 6 лет назад

I really liked the video style. It felt like you stepped us through your thought process in a more real time sort of way. It felt more natural than a scripted video does.

@zonegamma8197 6 лет назад

I like the format you are doing what we would do ourselves

@Winterbasse 6 лет назад

I think it's a cool format for trying out products because it really highlights your journey of finding the right way to work with the product. It also definitely works the same for doing challenges where you're figuring out how to deal with the limitations and push past them in a new creative way. I'd keep the more structured style for regular miniature paintings or tutorials because laying out the information in a clear, structured way is more important in those types of videos, but I'm definitely interested in these "This is my experience with X" videos too!

@edrogin7621 6 лет назад

Loved the video style. Somehow seemed more natural, pleasant to listen to and watch.

@TheVexinator 6 лет назад

Final mini looks pretty good =) A layer of gloss is very useful before doing a wash. It smooths the surface so that it slides into recesses easier, and gives a protective layer that both protects the paint from being stained and makes cleanup of unwanted pools easier. A good snow material is powdered "waste paint hardener". I use a brand called Krud Kutter (the powdered form, not the spray cleaner!) Not my idea and I don't remember who first introduced me to the idea, but it seems much better than baking powder.

@AliceandI 6 лет назад

Really enjoyed the video, I find your style really refreshing. Keep up the great videos. Disclaimer before any reader get too far into my comment, I am not a professional painter but thought this bit of info could help as it has helped me a lot in my hobby life (both minis and canvas painting). Also, did not scroll through the list of comments so someone could have said this already. Limited palettes as you noticed can have some pretty substantial gaps in them when it comes to mixing other colors. You noted that the Ultramarine was warm and leaned to the green side. I think your yellow was also cooler and the red looked a little warm (This could all be tricks of your camera, my monitor and so on, but your mixing results did kind of confirm this). A lot of artists will use a split primary palette, meaning two yellows, two blues...etc. By nudging the colors to either side of the "primary" you will be able to better hit the colors that fall between. Finding the "right" colors will require you basically make color wheels with your paints (not an exciting exercise but a really educational one, its something I try to do every time I buy a new paint to learn about how it interacts with my palette). Grab three, start mixing...grab three more and keep going. Without much knowledge of the specific paints you used I cannot be certain on where to start but try things like Lemon Yellow and Crimson Red as they typically trend as the more "primary" colors and go from there. Hope that was helpful, keep up the great work.

@StevieSCustoms 6 лет назад

I like this style of video a lot. It’s very nice to be able to compare the first impression to the later formed, more nianced opinion. And it’s great to see you doing the work “on the fly”. I suggest you do this more often, since it feels like you get a real honest review out of this!

@Koboldnest 6 лет назад

The dullness and vibrancy of mixed colours depend quite a lot on their base hues. You don't get to buy a perfectly balanced blue, red or yellow (think of 255:0:0 etc. for RGB values), they'll always have a tendency towards either one of the secondary colours they can mix. The video's blue, red, and yellow can only mix one vibrant colour, which is the orange: take a blue with a green tint and mix it with a orange-ish tinted yellow and you'll get a dull result because you're mixing complimentary colours (the red/orange part of the yellow together with the blue's green part) and complimentary colours create some variation of smudgy brown that taints your mix. For vibrant colours you need to make sure that you don't mix in any complimentary. That's why the orange in this video worked so well. The Red tends towards orange and so does the yellow, so you basically only mix Red with Yellow. A green-ish yellow together with the blue could've made a really vibrant and popping green while it would've mixed a dull orange with the red in use. For mixing a complete colour range of vibrant and dull secondary and tertiary hues you need two of each primary colour: an orange-yellow, a green-yellow, a green-blue, a purple-blue, a purple-red and an orange-red. TL;DR: Warm colour + warm colour OR cold colour + cold colour = a vibrant secondary or tertiary hue; warm colour + cold colour = a dull secondary or tertiary hue

@electricbill1778 5 лет назад

I didn't even think it was possible to use tube paints without adding thinners and using them like washes. Learn something new every day. By the way, the green was dull because you picked a warm yellow, so it probably has some red in it :)

@needfoolthings 6 лет назад

If that red you used really contained a lot of yellow to make it so orange, and then that orange is mixed with the blue, it naturally becomes grayer than the violet/purple you wish for. That's because in effect you don't mix a color circle red with a color circle blue to get a color circle violet, but you mix blue with its COMPLEMENTARY orange, which makes it gray/unsaturated. The same goes for red/green mixes and yellow/purple mixes and so on. The term you can research is COLOR BIAS. Do the research in oil colors to get a feel for it. The problem could be enhanced by the bad quality of those colors of course, but basically,you cannot have even a hint of a bias in one of your mixing colors that is complementary to the other mixing color. It will be more unsaturated than you wish and expect. Cheers, dude! Love your channel, it's ever-developing and fun to watch as you take giant steps towards becoming the painter you want to become...

@jacenchrisbaker 6 лет назад

One of my favorite things about your work Scott is that you go with the Sam Lenz school of "big brushes aren't scary".

@hcs626 2 года назад

Alot of pigments can interact in interesting ways causing things to even if they are the "correct" pigment to turn into a different color.

@ozisnice 6 лет назад

I like this style, feels so much more honest.

@trondbirkeland8094 6 лет назад

Thanks for a great video! This looks like student grade acrylics made for paper/canvas. There are more than 25 different polymers used in acrylic paints. Not all may be suitable for minis. Some stick better to different surfaces than others. The purple turns dull when e.g. mixing a red leaning towards yellow with a blue leaning towards green. Depending on the colour bias you're actually mixing three colurs + and not just two. The result is a sort of grey. The pigments of the paint can give some indications. The problem with miniature paint is that the labelling is practically non-existent... Some may be mixes of who knows what... It is OK when when layering, but when mixing it can be difficult. Even mixing as few as two paints can result in greys. I wish they could start saying what is inside the bottles of acrylic paint. I want to know what pigments are in the bottle and whether it is opaque, semitransparent or transparent. The fact that they do not list pigments may however help them selling vast amounts of hues with cool names, colours one could easily mix from a few primaries instead, if they were available...

@killroy255 6 лет назад

You should try taking a look at the Warcolours paints, they're the cheapest dropper bottle paints I've found that are still pretty good quality. Do note that they're not the best when it comes to coverage, with the exception of the one coat paints.

@bigtgamer1 6 лет назад

I actually really loved this video style, felt more personal and honestly felt like I learned quite a bit.

@IcarusGames 6 лет назад

Really enjoyed the video! In terms of vibrancy, I think the problem is you weren't using proper primary colours. I think if you had chosen a brighter blue with no green base, you'd have gotten much more vibrant green and purple that could then be adjusted with your white and black.

@Wildboy789789 6 лет назад

agreed... miniature paints don't really mix that well to begin with, I use liquitex soft body acrylic, so you can actually buy single pigment paints, and they mix very will... its impossible to hit purple with a orange leaning red, and the green leaning blue doesn't help lol

@Confuseddave 6 лет назад

Yeah, purple is always tricky - try to think of the process CMYK colors used in your printer to get purple, the blue you want is that bright cyan blue. The vermillion red isn't helping either, optimally you want a really stark magenta. I'm kind of surprised you haven't noticed that royal blue and scarlet red will almost always give you brown (they're closer to the RGB primaries, so almost exactly halfway between the CMYK primaries)

@fetfet1337 4 года назад

hey Scot, I just wanted to give you some advice on color choices regarding the liquitex heavy body line. In my college art class my professor had us go out and get only 5 paints; phthalocyanine blue, yellow medium azo, quinacridone crimson, titanium white, and ivory black. These colors help you make accurate colors because they are just purely their color. Also, heavy body paints don't tend to work all that well with mini painting, maybe its how the paint is made or something. Also thank you for all your videos!

@rayslover8526 6 лет назад

I really liked this video. It was interesting how you tried something new and was like, "this is crap, let's try a similar thing but more expensive. This is crap too." But in the end through experimenting Ann's trying new things you realized that they do work and can be used, as long as you treat them differently than the standard miniature paint we are used to. So for someone trying to get into miniature painting, its not a bad price. 60 paints for $40. But you'd have to have a lot of patience to learn how to paint with these. How do you think these would compare to the cheap acrylic "craft paint" (folk art, Apple, Americana) for someone who is trying to learn or just start miniature painting. Again excellent video Scott, i really think this might have been one of your best.

@Miniac 6 лет назад

I think these are probably slightly above Folk Art, Apple Barrel, etc. simply because they contain info about light fastness, pigmentation, coverage, etc. When you buy into these paints, you buy into a "system" that can then be transferred and understood in other brands. When you buy into folk art, you don't get that benefit.

@jakewhite9981 4 года назад

Great video, found it super useful as I am just starting out in the world of mini painting and trying to find a groove before chucking a load of money at the hobbie. I also thought a more off the cuff style video was refreshing as it felt more honest when reviewing a product versus other youtubers review videos. Thanks for the great vid and I look forward to more of them. Peace!

@JPWestmas 5 лет назад

yeah its pretty normal for mixed paints to be desaturated no matter the brand. Matte medium mixed with color man. That's your wash. Also check out the citadel flesh videos, they always start dark to light. Bright purples and greens are usually different minerals than the primary colors. So mixing primaries to get secondaries won't give you the same results.

@AJDeLaRosa 6 лет назад

I appreciate your candid review, I'll stick with citadel and vallejo but I'm always on the lookout for more economical paints. 🤘🏼

@baglio88 5 лет назад

I think that "green shade" on ultramarine is misleading. Green shade ultramarine is labeled like that to distinguish it from other ultramarines that are more violet leaning. That is, on the color wheel this "green shade" is closer to green than those other variants, but if you take cyan as your refrence (as you should) it still has a small violet bias. That's why you can't mix a vibrant green from it. As for the purple, red is the real culprit because it has yellow in it

@sullivanmkii 6 лет назад

Ahh the good old issue of glossy finish and varnishes. From what I´ve gathered in my times of paintinting minis: It´s, for miniature painting, nigh impossible to get a matte finish. Especially with Acrylic Colors. As far as I remember (hopefully correctly) it´s an issue on the chemical level, where it starts to mess with the pigments. As a spray varnish it´s mostly a matter of consistency, as in blocking the nozzle of the can after a few strokes > hence there´s only satin finish readyly available just to not upset the customer.

@Screamingmanta 6 лет назад

A shame we didn't get to see the blue undercoat being applied, but this video gave me quite alot of ideas as to how I should approach my boyfriend's request of painting his Mechanicus army in a vague "icy blue" colour scheme.

@meraduddcethin2812 6 лет назад

Really like the video and the unscripted format allows for us to see your thought process. Great stuff. Regarding the acrylic 'tube paints', you really should try using an acrylic medium-based thinner rather than water, so the pigment will be consistent for a much thinner paint. My experience has been that, if you are careful with this, you can achieve similar results to the 'first line' mini paints (GW, Vallejo, Reaper, etc). I'm pretty fascinated with the idea of going 'heavy'/non-thinned and then doing the blending on the mini proper. Thanks for the idea. :) The other thing to note is that 'artist-grade' acrylic has a higher pigment content than 'student grade'. Please continue to experiment and share your results.

@Miniac 6 лет назад

I've never used flock so I unfortunately can't compare as of now.

@ChapterGrim 4 года назад

Arteza are probably regretting this, but given the fact the paints are not for minis. Liquitex was the first marketed acrylic paint, and in terms of mediums etc, them and Golden are great standouts (tip-of-the-hat to Daler-Rowney and Winsor & Newton) - artists acrylics are rarely fine enough in terms of pigment or binder to use routinely for minis. Acrylicos Vallejo were the first to specialise in paints specific to the hobby, and have as a result remained quality standouts, with the big brand names in art supplies not even trying to compete by-and-large - Citadel (probably similarly true for Army Painter) only competes with AV and other high quality brands through aggressive targeted marketing. Both Scale75 and Warcolours are a separate issue being gel based and competing in their own "closed" market. Miniature paints are a tad like oils in terms of production quality. For oils, Sennelier (interestingly owned by Savoir-Faire; who own Raphaël, and Lascaux who make kick-ass brush cleaner) is huge standout I think...

@littlewaaaghh8679 6 лет назад

This is some excellent quality content as usual, @miniac. To be honest I've been growing a little bit tired of the finish I get while using Citadel/Vallejo acrylics, but I had never thought to try out tube paints. I suppose that I had figured it was an issue of mediums and varnishes instead, but it might be worth giving this Arteza stuff a look. How do you find this stuff takes to glazes and wet blending? Furthermore, can you get the paint as thin as you could with other miniature paints? I don't suppose that you could thin it down as far as oils?

Hey Scott, have you actually continued to use heavy body paints in your mini painting? I'm quite a fan of desaturated palettes, but even so, I feel more confident in Vallejo, P3 and S75 paints.

@Miniac 6 лет назад

No, I haven't given it another shot but I plan to. I got some Jo Sonja paints to try it with the second time around.

@Mikey__R 6 лет назад

@@Miniac I was thinking about this, the Liquitex airbrush medium I have used with my Vallejo paints, was actually designed to thin the same heavy body paints you got in this video, enough to get through an airbrush. Since the Vallejo Air lines are actually great brush paints, I can only guess that using the Liquitex airbrush medium with your Liquitex heavy body paints, or indeed your Jo Sonja paints, you'll probably be able to use them like a normal mini paint.

@lewisdimmick3933 6 лет назад

Y U DIRTY GREEN? Your purple turned out dull because of the green hue of the blue, as you discovered - but it's the same story for your green because you used a green blue with a red hue yellow. In a limited pallet painting you generally have 2 blues, 2 yellows, 2 reds a white and sometimes a brown or black (cheating). Red hue yellow Green hue yellow Green hue blue Red hue blue Yellow hue red Blue hue red And from there you can make pretty much any colour.

@TheCADDGUY 5 лет назад

Being a new painter of miniatures, and a poor broke white boy on a budget, I had a few of these laying around. I tried them with not much success.

@judgedeaths4032 6 лет назад

Dope. I don't know if it's your banter or laid back style but I find I can stomach the 20+ minute investment of you painting and I usually can't on other channels. Keep making the vids and we'll probably keep watching. Kudos too man; the miniature came out sick.

I think this is a very fair format. It's closer from what you do in your streams, as it's more natural and you're more yourself, but I definitely think your more constructed videos that are prepared and scripted and all are more appropriate for most of your tutorial content and all that kind of stuff This fits great for that kind of review videos as it definitely feels more appropriate: testing new stuff should probably not be scripted anyway

@staticklingon2182 5 лет назад

I agree with all that. And I love the "beginner hobbyist" type reviews. There's a lot of us who don't sink hundreds into this and helps us know just how thin we can stretch the budget. Having said that, I'm tired of mixing 5 good paints and tired of messing with cheap paints, so I'm finally breaking down and buying a huge miniature paint set.

@jedrzejwilinski8148 6 лет назад

Scott, every material you prepare for us is top quality and full of soul. I liked this one as much as the scripted ones. Had a big laugh seeing how much you hated that nmm deathwatch raven guard marine ;D Cheers dude, great work as always!

As to your issue with green and purple. It’s due to your yellow and blue paint. Ultramarine blue is more on the green side of blue and mid yellow is more of a yellow orange. If you are going to try to paint this way. You want paints closer to the primary colours (a lot of brands will actually list them as primary blue, primary yellow, and primary red) mars black also has a bunch of blue in it. Which could effect how you darken a colour.

@ArynCrinn 6 лет назад

Alternatively, you can use a 6-colour primary where you have both warm and cool tones of each primary. So for instance, using just Scale75, I'd probably go with Aldebaran Red, Antares Red, Mediterranean Blue, Tesla Blue, Sol Yellow and Sahara Yellow.

@held5652 5 лет назад

also to note that the "yellow, blue, red" as primaries is kinda false. It favours warm tone colours. True primary colours are yellow, cyan, and magenta(yes like your printer inks) but that's deeper colour theory, and that not really how they make craft paint.

@deedoublejay 5 лет назад

I read a good book in art school called "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green". The premise was basically that there are no paints in "pure" primary colors, so you use hues leaning to the color you want to mix. Scott would have got a better green using something like lemon yellow, which leans to the green side.

Could you put high res pics from the models you paint on videos in a Instagram account or something similar? It is nice for reference. These tutorials with non-hobby products are great for people like me that live in countries that don't have access to hobby products. Keep the good work!

@Wildboy789789 6 лет назад

a limited palette gives your art coherency because it stops you from making clashing colors... if you want a robot with neon green and red and neon purple you cant do it... if you want to paint autumn wood elfs with reds yellows and oranges that stay natural and don't look like a cartoon, limited palettes work... I also have to say miniature paints suck for mixing, buy liquitex soft body acrylic, titanium white, indian yellow, quin crimson, phthalo blue green shade, iridescent white for metallic... you can make black by mixing the 3 primarys, u can make grey by adding white to a bluish black, and you can make brown adding white to a orangish black :)

@clearasil11 6 лет назад

I started the hobby again after a ten year break and I challenged myself to only use the 10 basic paints from army painter and mix them along with actually using a wet palette. Painting is so much more fun and interesting. The video format is cool by the way

golden has a line of thinner paints(golden fluids i think). they are great. a lot of magic the gathering card alterers use these

@christophermiller8381 6 лет назад

Kenny from Next Level Painting always sings praises about doing a gloss varnish before washing. Something about breaking the surface tension makes the wash go exactly where you want it to. I wonder if that paint was glossy enough to give the same effect.

@themanabroad7800 6 лет назад

Yes, some of the GW plainters do the same, if you read the last White Dwarf, the guy who painted all the Admec does the same thing. Something that I want to try also!

@Flamethrower1942 6 лет назад

Old technique used by scale modelers for years gloss varnish before weathering and washes and matt varnish after.

I’m your 81,600 subscriber, and I can see why you have so many! Because YUR RICH lol no, you have good narration, and tell shit like it is. Nearly dissing the free gear you got is about as legit as you get. I personally would be very happy with that paint set, and would have a blast using such a wide variety for its price.

@tjduprey 4 года назад

Arteza sucks. Completely. If I'm going to use a tube paint it would only be Golden. Heavy body, fluid, medium body... if you have a variety of mediums they will do anything you need. I preferel Golden Open for extended drying time.

@rando970guy6 3 года назад

I think the problem you're having color mixing is that you're not using the real primaries cyan magent and yellow, with those you'll be able to make more vivid predictable hues.

@hellmau2352 6 лет назад

I enjoyed this format, but I also like the scripted videos, especially the 'Eavy Metal ones. I guess some subjects fit one format better than others. Your videos are some of the few I actually watch the whole way through. Keep up the good work!

@connorrichardson7280 6 лет назад

I very much so enjoyed the format of this video. I like that when you reached a problem there'd be a break where you then talked about how you were going to further proceed. This gave me a way to remember the problems so that I could learn from your observations as they happened and not just a list at the end. Thanks

@toversnoleu8769 4 года назад

Red, yellow, blue, black and white? Thats like all colors in 5 bottles... O.o

@KalNertea 6 лет назад

I like what you did here. It's nice to learn more about that different world of paints, so alien to us. I also love watching you learning from mistakes and how you admitted to misjudging quality of this company. Kudos for giving them chance by comparing to more expensive rivals! That struck me that in fact you had spent your money to compare their free sample. You seem to be honest in this review and I seriously admire it.

@miguelsimarrogonzalez2128 6 лет назад

I like unscripted, it's fresh, and it tells a story, keeps you engaged, it's not just raw information. Raw information is good too, if it's top quality. Anyways I'm learning things about painting (in canvas) and I can give you a clue about your mixing problems. First, primary colors are not yellow, red and blue, It's lemon yellow, magenta red, and cyan blue. This is important because all the other colors are manufactured with unexpected pigments, like your blue had a green shade that chashed with your red, and kept you from getting purple. But magenta or cyan can't be used by themselves (usually), and it's hard for brands to obtain the actual exact primary colors for perfect mixing. So many artists use what it's called a split primary pallet. They pick two shades of each primary, one on the warm side, one on the cool side. This way, to get a secondary, they use the version or each pair that it's closer to the desired color, to avoid any interference from the third primary being hidden in any of them, and muddying everyting. They also tend to choose very dark colors because it's very hard to darken a particular mix, black is going to change it, and if you use the complementary, then... you are muddying the color. I have no art training, but I'm a nerd interested in the matter, and that's a very powerfull drive to learn :-D

Liquitex is fucking dope. I use floating medium with that brand to get better control and coverage, model(s) depending. They’ve got really neat color variety for a good price on amazon. Your experience may very. Neat model btw.
