Easy Oil Paints on Miniatures

In this video I go through the basics of using Oil Paints & Oil Washes for your tabletop miniatures. I paint some great miniatures from ‪@ArchonStudio‬'s most recent crowd funding campaign "Deuslair".

Very nice. When you first started wiping down the ogre, I thought "That looks like a Frazetta painting." Thanks for going over the techniques like this. You answered one of my questions about this before. I think I'm ready to take the plunge with oil washes.

Would love to see those minis when they are finished!

couple of notes from my own forays into oil washes:
* it's recommended to add an initial clear varnish with matte/gloss medium over the mini before applying the oil washes. In both cases, this will help protect the underlying acrylics from the mineral spirits. In the case of gloss medium, it will also help with the flow on the oil wash.
* I've had very good luck just immediately removing the excess oil paint, right after applying, usually with the same (cleaned in spirits) brush I used to put it on. This also lets you push & move around the paint in the crevices to a selective degree

Thanks for your input!

I've never needed to varnish before oils, white spirit doesn't react with acrylic paint so if its coming off its cuz you're rubbing it to hard
