Ok, just want to make sure you know, something about your editing style, your voice, and your minis, makes mini painting the most appealing hobby in the planet.
Breaking the surface tension of the water is very important. I've had very thin paint bead up on a model, and when it dries it looks like water damaged paper. I plan on using acrylic thinner/medium more moving forward.
This is literally the first good video I’ve seen on washes. I have so much trouble with them and this was super helpful. I wish we could save shorts to our favorites
Like the video, it'll be auto added to the liked videos playlist so you can watch it at any time. It will load it as a regular RUclips video as opposed to a short though.
Thank you so very much for showing how to make your own washes, I’m too poor to buy good acrylic paint, so I have the usual poopy ones, and I have 0 access to washes, and now I know how to make my own, thank you sooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've never tried the dish soap trick, but as I understand, it basically makes shade paints behave more like oil washes. I still prefer oil washes though, because on a varnished mini, it makes cleanup effortless. Shade painted minis often need other colors touched up afterwards. Oil washes let you remove the wash in any spots you don't want it by using odorless paint thinner, which won't affect the acrylic paint beneath (friction will though)
I’m starting to move towards enamels like streaking grime through an airbrush and then working off with a qtip and white spirits. Much easier to correct a mistake than acrylic.
This is basically how I used to paint when I was 14. Paint everything the color I wanted it and hit it with a wash. I know slap chops all the rage right now, even though it's not anything new... This is OG speed painting in my opinion.
Ork are probably the easiest to paoint starting out because if you mess up you can mess it up a little more and just make it as if the ork painted the armor
i don’t thin washes really but i also like my models to look super grungy an oily so i just like put wash everywhere and then use different washes in some areas for color variation and specific colors in certain areas for different types of oil/grease/rust/grime like theres always at least 3 layers of washes on em, then after I drybrush with leadbelcher to make scratches, and use a somewhat dry brush to restore some of the color to areas i want to be a bit brighter, though usually i do that ahead of time with the darkening of the washes in mind, tho i also haven’t painted many models yet cause it takes me ages to get around to it but the ones i have turned out really good imo
Army Painter quickshade washes are basically acrylic wood stains. That's why they also sell them in metal pots. Hardware store wood stains are way cheaper, if you're going to dip your entire minis!
do you thin the nuln oil? mine never looks that transparent its almost as if I just used regular black paint and makes everything look like I dropped it in in muck
Depends on the look you’re after - if you want just recesses to be darkened then be selective. But if you want the whole thing to be a little darker, especially in recesses, hit the whole model with a thinned wash
It's way better to use oil washes, oil paint mixed with mineral spirits. Games Workshop professional painters don't even use their nuln oil cause they know it's trash and messy. They use the oil paint mixed with mineral spirts technique because it's got a much better capillary effect, kinda like tamiya panel liner for gunpla models. GW doesn't want you to know this so you keep buying their lower quality nuln oil.
But at some point you must learn mixing colors, highlighting, and blending. You don't have ti become a pro, but you just do justice to yourself to try.

I'm loving the colour scheme in this series of shorts
Great idea using the same model for these so we can see it progress through the steps
I have been using it straight from the pot that explains the stain lines. Thank you for this tip

The creation of one’s own wash was a nice little bonus I didn’t see coming . Love it! Thank You! Great Work!

Thank you for sharing! I’m gonna try this too!
I moved away from using washes recently, I just found that starting from a darker base coat and building up gives a more striking effect
Yeah manually painting shades and highlights gives a better look in my opinion.
@@ArstKoben"working harder gives better results"
Well... yeah lol
This is literally the first good video I’ve seen on washes. I have so much trouble with them and this was super helpful. I wish we could save shorts to our favorites
You can, if you find the short in your watch history you can add it to any playlist you like
Like the video, it'll be auto added to the liked videos playlist so you can watch it at any time. It will load it as a regular RUclips video as opposed to a short though.
On a phone, just click on the three dots in the top right corner, there you have the option „add to playlist“ 👍🏻
You can also add a bit of isopropyl to further cut the surface tension
Love the paint scheme soo much i have subliminally started painting my orks this way!!!
Thank you so very much for showing how to make your own washes, I’m too poor to buy good acrylic paint, so I have the usual poopy ones, and I have 0 access to washes, and now I know how to make my own, thank you sooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recommend a droplet of medium in your washes in addition to water and surfactant (soap). This keeps it working like a wash you might buy
What exactly do you mean with „medium“?
I've never tried the dish soap trick, but as I understand, it basically makes shade paints behave more like oil washes. I still prefer oil washes though, because on a varnished mini, it makes cleanup effortless. Shade painted minis often need other colors touched up afterwards.

Thanks! Needed a black wash for something, and this was the best video I could find.
Wash paints are my favorite paints. Didn't know I can make my own. Thank you.
Really enjoying the shorts, thank you
Wow i learned so much in such a short video
He's finally painting the Warboss in Mega Armour!!
This has been super helpful. I didn't understand what to do with wash painting. This has definitely cleared a roadblock
You know i actually like the unshaded one, it looks fun and cartoony

Amazing tutorial on how to shade/wash. Now i'm just wondering how that Grot keeps hanging in the air
Ork are probably the easiest to paoint starting out because if you mess up you can mess it up a little more and just make it as if the ork painted the armor
im tired of you being so awesome >:(
Awesome color scheme I'm currently doing my first army as purple orks

Thank you for that tip I didn’t know no you need to been down wash pains😂😮
Says the guy with the cleanest base coat!!!
I learned to make my own wash. My mini's look a lot better when I use a wash.
Pro tip. Don't use water with citadel shades. Use Contrast Medium. Will help with coffee staining.
Something about the first one resonates w me heavily
As a dyspraxic painter - yay!
The soap is a real game changer
How am I seeing a purple ork?
That close up of the nuln oil is basically smut for hobbyists
I wanna try this now
Do you remember the old colour 'AMETHYST PURPLE' love this colour for gems.
Adding water to a wash I never imagined
Army Painter quickshade washes are basically acrylic wood stains. That's why they also sell them in metal pots. Hardware store wood stains are way cheaper, if you're going to dip your entire minis!
Sounds nice and cheap, but i'd like a video before dipping an expensive model. Won't it get inside and leak out the bottom?
Thin it with medium not water. Water makes it stain the model more in spots you don’t want shade at all.
So you can make shade paint with acrylic paint and a flow improver?
Pretty much!
Man I really thought I could use washes straight from the pot 😂 somehow thin your paints keeps being the most important step
"Thin it with a little bit of water." Proceeeds to squirt in half a pint of water.
Help, I painted my ork purple and now I can’t find him
Can you do a tutorial/guide on how to make sure the wash doesn't dry shiny
Using a matte varnish can get rid of the shine for you at the end of the painting process
It really depends mostly on the brand of wash, though it will generally be shinier if it is applied more thickly.
@@ianplunkett7104 thanks that will be great help
@@collegeoffoliage6776 thanks ill try that next time
Once you apply the final clear coat, the shine should go away. You are using a final clear coat, aren't you?
do you thin the nuln oil?
mine never looks that transparent its almost as if I just used regular black paint and makes everything look like I dropped it in in muck
This paint scheme reminds me of 80's He-Man action figures for some reason
In the case that o don't have a sepia wash, wich colors should I use to make it?
Alternatively you can use oil paint washes or enamel paints for easier cleaning.
So I accidentally bought a white wash paint.... What can I use that for?
I saw a guy using it on plasma guns, but i think it looks better on crystals.
I have been looking for this vid because no one else is wanting to tell me how to make washes and shades.
What do u mean by dish soap like can any be fine cus I feel like my dawn might not work lol
I really struggle with washes, they go everywhere BUT the recesses.
DID HE JUST PAINT A PURPLE ORK?!?!?!?!?!
Excellent
The screen is empty, what did he demondtrate the washes on?
Guys, we did it…
We found a purple Ork!!
Dish soap? Which brand?
it may be heresy but on vehicles i love a THICC layer or nuln oil
Why did you put a ton of paint on just a base ?
Wdym shading? I dont see anything to use shading on
Wait I missed it… what’s the point of the dish soap?
To stop the water from beading up.
Does somebody know a similar blue purple color?
im so offended at you calling my stain lines ugly 😂
Dish soap ???
I always forget the the lil dab of dish soap when making my own.
Where's the mini? I just see a base
Instructions unclear, spilled 10 gallons of Nuln oil.
I now understand why my shades are staining!
Add *dishsoap* ...!!? 😮
Ya know, "fairy liquid" actually sounds like it could be a citadel colour...
But there's no mini
I've given up on using shades and washes, it just makes the mini look grimy.
Guy, should I just slop it on all over the model or just in the detail areas, lots of different tips online
They usually do best on detailed areas compared to flat panels.
Depends on the look you’re after - if you want just recesses to be darkened then be selective. But if you want the whole thing to be a little darker, especially in recesses, hit the whole model with a thinned wash
I didnt know you had to thin washes!
Adding dish soap always wrinkles my brain
Uh, dishwashing soap to the water. I’ll have to remember that.

He's purple, that means I can't see 'im! What da zog?!

I can’t see anything on the screen
Why is he painting air
Purple ork?!
Okay, cool.
Use medium instead of water
Huzzah
Just do a zenithal highlight then you don't need to worry about shading
After buying a 700 USD airbrush kit? You probably could commission someone to paint your army for that.
WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Why are you just painting the air?
Washes are like liquid detail
Or u could just dip the whole mini in the bottle
bro is painting at thin air.
He's talking about painting a miniature, but there are no miniatures in the video
But at some point you must learn mixing colors, highlighting, and blending.

Stop distracting me from college
Used to follow. But then you said “of course their where always female custodos”
I've never even spoken about Custodes on the channel, try harder to be offended x
Aren't those the guards that stand still for 100+ years? Might as well have more aesthetic shapes.
You can’t even see the mini
dish soap. huh
