I've watched about 20 videos on wet blending today, was having no luck, then watched yours. Got a decent looking gradient on my second try. Thanks so much for explaining this in such a clear way, it really helped me!
This is one of the best wet blending videos I've seen including the explanation on controlling the brightness or darkness of the wet blend and also how to perform wet ON wet blending. Can't wait for my FLGS to start stocking these paints since wet blending is my technique of choice!
Super helpful video! One question though: my ProAcryl paints seem to break down very fast, both on a tile or a wet palette. Is there a way to counter this behavior? Thanks!
Sebastian, explain what you mean by "break down". Our paints don't want or need much added water to get to various opacities. Try reducing the amount you are adding and see if that helps. You can add as much as you like and get to almost 100% water / thinner and still paint, but you will need to remove most of the liquid off your brush when doing so prior to setting to the model.
@@MonumentHobbies I don't add any water, the paint just seperates into its components quite fast once I put it onto my wet palette. Works better on a tile palette, though. The paints are great, but the seperation just weirds me out a bit.
@@sebastiang.5032 wet palette is too wet then. Realize that the paper shouldn't be wet to the touch, but should only be wet underneath. It's easy to flood the surface, and our paints don't want to sit in a puddle for long.
Amazing I’ve always been afraid of wet blending and see people do it on video but now I see how it works. Thank you.
Awesome James! Glad it helped!

I watched many miniature painting tutorials, this is the best tutorial about wet blend on you tube so far. Precise, easy to understand and practical.
Thanks so much! Glad it helped out!

Thank you. This has helped me a lot sir.
Fantastic video. Thanks!
Wow! That doesn't look intimidating at all! Really helpful tips, Sir...Thanks!
Wow for sure! That really worked! Great demos! Does the Pro Acryl make this easier or better?
Our paints are formulated to be more consistent from color to color, so they will give the blend you want every time.
My pro Acryl paints dry super chalky with tiny specks. Help!
