The beginning part covering the differences between glazing and layering, as well as the basic principles and reasoning behind glazing, is incredibly helpful
I really appreciate your style of painting. So many people paint with lots of OSL and just extremely highlighted. Realistic for me is just more visually appealing.
Yes, glazing is a great way to add color - and I would argue the only way when it comes to skin. However, I am not a fan of adding red to the cheeks, since that would indicate heat, excitement or embarrassment; instead, look at any face (preferably your own) under neutral white light, like in a bathroom and you'll see that you don't have that red shade (unless there is heat, excitement or embarrassment to take into consideration), and any color deviating from the base must be applied very carefully so that the effect isn't exaggerated. Almost forgot: there are body parts that do show more red, like especially the feet or sometimes the knuckles or the inside of the fingers and palms for example, but that should not be taken as a rule. The problem with skin however is that it is slightly transluscent, which means a skin color needs to be built up slowly overall, and Karinto painting does an amazing job at that (www.youtube.com/@karintopainting), but the effect can also be don by airbrush, a couple of washes and a sponge which Sideshow (www.youtube.com/@CollectSideshow) does with their large scale models.
Until your paint is dry to the touch. That will depend on your paint brand. I would suggest using fast drying paint for glazing like warpaints fanatic.
Do you seal the base layers before doing the glazing? If you do, what do you use? If not, does the thinned paint not tend to pull the underlying paint? In any event... as always... beautiful work.
I have tried to find the video that explains the pallets you are using. Just curious if you have one laid out, or if it was custom made? Looks great as always and thank you for the content!
It's something he came up with. He calls it a "Cold Palette". He uses a Tupperware container with an ice pack in it and places a ceramic tile on top of the ice pack. The video is a few years old now if I'm not mistaken, explaining his take on it.

Stunning work 👏
How long do you wait between each layer of glaze for it to dry?

Do you recommend basecoating light skin and then glazing in the shadows & recesses? Or vice versa?

Excellent work...those metallics look great as well...can you please mention what you used on these models?
Fantastic art pieces
Thank You!
Great video. Thanks for sharing

@@zacharyboozer9132 thank you
Cool as alawys. 👍
I should definitively try glazing one day ... one day I want to bore myself to death!
How long do you wait between each glazing .. layer?
Half a joint. That's how long I wait.
👍👍
Damn I need to switch to bigger models. All those fancy techiques on 32mm miniatures are waaaay more tiresome =)
