Painting Terrain to look GRIMDARK with 5 basic colors! 

I like your holiday terrain recipe! That cyan variant is v. nice.

Take me down to the Dana Howl City, where the sand is pale and the airbrush is spitty!

I absolutely love those cream and rust and dark iron together! This turned out gorgeous!

The last 4 minutes are an uninterrupted feast of Dana’s signature color: Pale Sand. Glorious

I really like the 40k terrain. The contrast between the rout iron and the stone looks AMAZING! You really got the grimdark feeling with this recipe. And happy holiday to you!

You shouldn't use a paper towel for drybrushing as it takes more medium than pigment so increases the risk of chalky paint. Try removing paint on a non-absorbant surface (textured primed wood for instance) it will work much better. Great video overall though. Keep up the great work.

Dana this really looks great. I like the effects you were able to achieve. Hopefully more scenery makes it to your channel.

I like the fact that you could stop at any point and it still looks good!

This looks incredible! Does a great job of unifying both the styles of terrain so they'd look great next to eachother imo! And love your videos, looking forward to more in the new year

I once attended a talk with late illustrator David Grove, maybe most famous among fandom as the Something Wicked This Way Comes poster guy but having a huge and influential media career. Anyway, he used very few colors in his work. Maybe it’s hard to tell now because of poor reproduction samples, especially since he worked pre-computer graphics. He used only true Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red and Yellow Ochre. No black, and largely no white except his illustration board background. He used them in such a way you really didn’t notice the limited range because washy moody shadows were his regular trademark and emphasis was on elements revealed from the dark or painted in the strong hues of cadmium red or ultramarine. It was a lot like the Zorn palette but more strongly hued and stylized. Because these colors aren’t staining, he could walk them back through careful removal. Anyway my point is I think his palette would be fantastic for terrain, and lightfast as well. I love your own treatment of the walls here, especially the Tudor elements. Thanks for a year full of thoughtful and beautiful video. Best wishes for more.

'I wanted a more Pale Sand look' Classic Dana.

Pale Sand: A Christmas love story

Gosh dang it I hate it when my terrain eats my snacks in the middle of the night

"relatively simple paint scheme..." My Brain - So pale sand is involved... @9:45 YESSSS!!!!!

I'm curious. Have you ever used any Acrylic Refill paint, like the Grog Aqua-pro or Molotov one4all with your airbrush? For me it was the first ones I've bought a year ago, and I havent felt the need to buy any other types of airbrush paint. I'd be interested to hear how a professional thinks they compare in more detail.

A Thousand Hosannas! You have saved my life. You truly are the Kwisatz Haderach:-)

I have a general question about paints. I am looking for a new brand of Florescent Acr Paints, I have some Game Color Florescents but after 1 year they are hard and thick. Can anyone suggest a better brand?

Two great tutorials in one show. Thanks Dana inspired to slay some grey :)

This was a really fun video with beautiful music as always. Thanks, Dana!

I’m going to copy the hell out of this! 🤩 My GW terrain has been stuck in boxes, not even half finished, calling at me from the dark. It deserves better. This is it.

Pale Sand drinking game anyone? 😂 Good job getting paint on so many terrain pieces, I‘m guilty of using barely painted terrain because I focus on painting minis only …

nice! don't have an airbrush, but terrain could be something I would give more of a go next year

That color combo looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Great paint scheme, your colour choices are always spot on. 👍 Big splatters like that from the airbrush can be caused by wet paint on the needle when the air starts. That can happen if you stop the air before the paint at the end of the previous stroke. Not enough air pressure for the thickness of paint can also cause splatter, which is a way to create it intentionally.

Howls moving city? Lame joke? I'll see myself out

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaale... saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand......

The head statue over looking Howl City really seals the deal for me

Ahhh, looking forward to this one 👍👍!

Need me some pale sand.

They're beautiful !

The paintjob looks great, but most of all the change from the normal dark blue grey drybrushed up to white that is common is the best part.

The tape deck sound effects are giving me major 60 Songs That Explain The '90s vibes. Great vid as usual Dana!

Such gorgeous terrain, I have a bunch stuck in zenithal, you've inspired to finish it/copy you, thank you so much

I like the cyan contrasted with reddish dark-brown. It looks very NES-like, whenever games for that system enter castles and catacombs. :).

Absolutely wonderful...swapping around the sci-fan and vise versa was such a cool idea.

Looks sooooo good:)

Great stuff!

Pale sand ❤

Awesome :-)

Hay quick question what’s happened with the tale of 6 warlords thing or was it an single vid

It looks sooooo much better than the typical bland grey, with grey highlight and more grey wash technique that most other people seem to use.

Awesome video, loads of tips must say I'm surprised you've not added a mini mixer to your tools.

Absolutely gorgeous! Happy holidays! :)

It's been interesting watching your IG posts for this project. 👍

feelin that big tudor energy

Where did the terrain come from? It looks great and Id like to pick some up

Really like how nicely the two styles fit together with that paint scheme!

It is Boxing Day miracle!

Happy holidays! Keep em coming!

really lovely terrain scheme!

No howling sand used?

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Looks fantastic, well done!

Top tier content creator !

Those turned out very well indeed!

Great technique

Fill a garden sprayer full of streaking grime and call it a day.

Gorgeous!

Love the colour scheme!

Love the terrain Dana!
