I'd love to see you take on canopy and/or cockpit glass. It's very often a very unique bit of the miniature and acts as a focal point that greatly benefits from multiple colours, blending, and gemstoning within a very small focal point.
6:22 I find painting layers using mixed colours from previous mixtures tricky when painting the edges, the results in the end works out. These horns turned out well, excellent! 🎨👍
Love the AO tutorials , best on you tube for me as most level painters can follow, would love pdfs on the AO website I find them so useful in preparing and following. Please keep the tutorials coming. 😊 brought an AO brush to try as I am disabled and brush control ca be hard on some days. OMG never using another brand of brush again. gonna order a set now.
Absolute love your videos and tutorials, I have just received today my first set of Artis Opus series D set and dry pallet, Cant wait to put these in to action later. You have gave me great inspiration to better my painting techniques, find it relaxing listening to your content while painting. I would love to see you paint "Archaon ever chosen" as I'm massive Slaves To Darkness player. Keep up the great work.
Well, looking at what on my personal hobby list, perhaps more of a horns part 2, would be smooth horns where you don't have as much angles to help you hide the transitions. In a similar vein (hehe), painting wood on otherwise smooth plastic, like spears and lances. They could both go well hand in hand.
I know I've said it a lot but the timing of this is incredible. I'm currently sitting in front of a box of 20 something dragons and monster (which I've never painted before) so this is god tier information. Perhaps a claw/fang follow up next?
Could you at some point do a video on strong vs. weak paints? I hear a lot of painters talk about this but don't have a great idea what it means or how to measure it.
It usually means paint coverage. Strong paint would be one coat. Weak would be several. Weak paint is not necessarily bad though as it can be really useful for blending.
It’s not something that can be really explained. It’s knowledge that comes with familiarity with certain brands and colors. A paint being strong can mean multiple things. That it’s very opaque, or vibrant and saturated, or that when you’re mixing it with other paints, even a tiny bit of it will have a very strong effect on the final color.
Absolutely, it will pick out any edges, you just have to make sure you don't overload the brush, and then make the most of the round drybrushes by doing 'circles' so you hit all edges from all angles. A big brush will help, too, probably Large/Large+/XL/XL+

I’m 41, been into tabletop games for, I don’t know how long. Your videos have totally changed the way I paint.
My man, what a wonderful thing to say, thanks so much!

Love the way you are making techniques capable for anyone to do, thank you
Agreed. You can get amazing results using easy techniques.
Great Unclean Byron.

Thank you for another amazingly well explained tutorial 🤩
Thanks for the kind words! Our pleasure :)

Same, I am at Slaves to Darkness - hence why I needed this video :)
I don't have any horns to paint but this is a nice guide to layering in general.
Nice! I thought that type of blending you could only get it by air brush 😅
Thanks for the tips!
It's a masterpiece 👍👍
great tutorial!! takes the pressure off
Thanks buddy, that's what we like to hear! Did you put it to use?

15:05 great and helpful visualisation with same colours but at larger scale. Where can I buy the signed version? :D
I'll do you one at a show if we crossover again :D
Second!
is there an easier way to do tau panel lining and edge highlighting with dry brushing do you reckon?
Absolutely, it will pick out any edges, you just have to make sure you don't overload the brush, and then make the most of the round drybrushes by doing 'circles' so you hit all edges from all angles.

First!
