Really appreciate these videos. I got into MESBG in January but never really enjoyed painting minis with acrylics, I always felt like I couldn't quite break out of '3D colouring in' mode. I've only just tried using the oils I use for painting paintings to painting minis, and I'm hooked. Somehow made me feel like I'm allowed to go after a painterly concept art style rather than replicating 'how minis are supposed to be painted' - and I'm excited to find there's a couple of people on RUclips exploring this, too! Looking forward to more videos from you!
Glad there's more of us to share the knowledge homie and even more of you guys getting help and support out of it! I totally agree with the sentiment of painterly style and its what I'm after too! enjoy
Another banger! so inspirational, keep this stuff coming. And now for my questions of the week! Based on the video, is it safe to assume that between layer 1 and 2 it also was an hour of drying time? Curious to know how you decide that is dry enough to get more paint on. Is the thin paint again to make the fat over lean easier to achieve, as in make the paints stick to each other? For blending, what has the bigger impact? More brushstrokes or smaller steps in the colour values and hues? How would you deal with black lining, edge highlighting and textures? Saying this will be covered in future videos is an answer I will accept ;-) Also thanks for sending be down the rabbit hole of watching videos on oil painting Stay blessed and hydra dominatus!
Yes you can leave an hour or 2 based on the colour/pigment used. Red will need a lot longer than blue so I’d recommend doing it last and letting it dry over night. Though as long as your layers are thin it can dry over an hour or so. Everything you see here is following the fat over lean principles. And the better you are at that the better your finish will be. For things for lining, scratches, everything like that is in the 5th episode on texture and details so that will be out next month. I love your questions dude and I’m happy to help so please keep pinging me more whenever
I am just getting into oils for model painting and this is very helpful, currently binge watching all of your videos. One question: How long do you leave it between layer 1 and layer 2? Can you go straight from one to the other, or do you need to leave it for an hour? a day?
Super glad you're finding these useful homie, I usually wait over night as I only get a couple of hours a night to paint so I leave whatever I get done.
I was wondering when a comment referring to speed or efficiency would come and im glad you made the statement. Without going on a long rant, it really depends on how much time you want to spend on your mini aswell as the quality you want to see done on an army. For the purpose of this series im not teaching you about speed or army painting, im teaching you about the necessary skills and techniques to use so that you can paint with the medium and achieve a high quality 🤜🏾, army painting is an subject we will cover eventually, stick around 🤙🏾
My biggest problems with oils are that sometimes when I thin them they don’t cover. When I don’t thin them they stick to the brush. And it is just so nice when acrylics flow smoothly out of the brush. Another problem is that different oil paints/pigments don’t mix/blend equally but one color covers the other completely instead of mixing. I really want to love them but until now I just use them like Marco Frisoni.
If you make an oil paint range where I don’t have to think about things like this and all paints behave similar, like colors in an acrylic range…I am all in… perhaps a nice Kickstarter idea 😉
So there’s two things here, Every brand is different, some require you to thin them, and some don’t require it at all. So you’ll just need to play with them. Windsor and Newton is great when you’re starting. I had the same issue until I realised what the brand required. I’ll do a video on that, so thanks for the idea homie! As for kick start 😂🎉 that’s the dream! Gotta win some awards first
Aw yeah, your written guide was fire back in the day, but seeing you do it on camera is so much better! Keep on keeping on!
Hahaha thanks homie! Yeah I’m glad I didn’t have the confidence to make videos otherwise I would have 😂 nvm though glad you’re here
OmegonEdge ya knocked it out the park sir, yet again .
Thanks homie! Glad its going so well and yall are enjoying it

Keep them coming. The next 2 weeks are going to excruciating, I need MORE!
Hahahah im going as fast as i can captain!
Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome homie
Excellent
Oil is King !
Heck yeah! More people will see why soon!
I would watch the 7 hours of footage :D
Hahahah that would be too cruel you’d hear all my crazy thoughts of me going mad while I paint
@@omegonedge That's the process :D
I only use oils for vehicle washes. Maybe one day I’ll experiment with something like this. Cool video man
You’ll be surprised at what they can do homie! Looking forwards to showing you the next episode

Oh for brush strokes I recommend slow and longer strokes, take your time you can speed up a bit as you get more used to it

An interesting take on painting minis. I can't see it being at all efficient for painting multiple models.

Look at the opacity of the paint you're using.
great content and information but you are competing with the distracting music
Thanks homie! Yes it’s easy to miss that I’ll correct it for the next one ✊🏾
