Must say that it is very refreshing to see this type of painting. I have painted like this for many years. I have tested contrast paints and wetpallett but it never feels right. I always return to a metod like this but I do mix my paint with water :) Loved this video and hope you do a one similar to this about the Prussians. I intend to make 2024 a year of Franco-Prussian war.
Cheers 👍 I am using these for the Battle of Mentana in the Italian Risorgimento so I don't plan to do any Prussians, they will be fighting the Garibaldi 😁
Good to see alternative styles to the "you must paint this way, doing lots of extra layers etc..." :) Fine for a Daemon competition, but I paint to army painter /2ft level. Funny thing I've used "contrast" approach for years to get extra effects when needed. It's called inks or thin-your-own :) great tutorial, I shall be now mass painting my 10mm FPW French.
Cheers Nigel, a lot of the modern tutorials are based around small numbers of figs needed for skirmish style games, not big unit, big battle games. I think I do alright 😆
Great tutorial Ken. I'm hoping the Perry's will do more sets for the period. Living in NZ shipping cost for metal figures is expensive as the currency exchange rate is shite. There's a couple of business here that carry the box sets. The other option is Stephan Huber Bavaria Miniatures STL files but I'm not sure if he will do the Prussian and French as he's mention that he is concentrating on the minor German states.

Great video. Its nice to see how using good old simple painting techniques can still quickly make great looking minis.
Many thanks 👍
That was great. Thank you and Merry Christmas. All the best.
Many thanks Shaun, have a great Xmas yourself 👍

This gives me good ideas for painting ACW Yankees. Thanx mate.
Nice one, I'd use exactly the same technique for blue on the Union boys 👍

Great tutorial - I’m a big fan of your recipe for white 👍.
Cheers mate, it's worked wonders for me over the years and it doesn't even involve white 😆

Thanks David 👍
