This is the second Black Templar I see you do and it again blows my mind. I've been trying to replicate your techniques since the first tutorial and I just wanted to say that you have changed how I view almost every aspect of painting. Thank you. I hope one day I get the chance to attend one of your workshops!
Marco seems to be a classically trained artist which gives him a technical and creative advantage over other content creators. Additionally, he seems to be an accomplished instructor. Marco's content makes his teachings available in a practical way without vendor lock-in to a specific paint range. I love the full-length vides on Patreon; such a great community with a diverse range of skill levels. Top notch!!!
Wow, just wow. Every black armour you paint is iconic and distinct. I can't even paint different colours with the finesse you do with one. (edit: grammar)
Sometimes you leave me speechless!! This video is saved to study over and over. Too much here to digest in one, two, or three sittings! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
What's interesting is how you can get these slight shifts in hue among black(s) and the tricks played on our eyes. Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" used black mixed from blue and orange. Michelangelo used hardly any black at all and instead used neon/pastel colors where black should be for the Sistine Chapel, yet those areas still appear to be dark. We see similar techniques used by more contemporary artists, like Blanche and Frazetta. I'm always down for more tutorials on painting black and white. Both are really tricky, especially when you're new to painting.
I think this is one of my favourite paint jobs ever. I'm still waiting on mine to be delivered but I'll definitely be trying out the technique you use on the black there. Thanks for sharing Marco!
Marco! Thank you for your awesome content! I want to ask; Why do you move your airbrush out of frame after every few sprays? Dip into spunge to prevent tipdry or something else?
Your painting white tutorial inspired me to paint my Infinity O12 white, with teal and fluorescent orange as the other colours. This is inspiring me to try a Yu Jing army with black armour! Thank you for changing the way I see these colours :)
Hi Marco, not sure if you'll see this, but I'm wondering if you painted the insignias on the shoulder pads? I'm having a little difficulty finding a high quality reference to work off of and you're one of the best out there. Thank you!
I'm pretty sure I got the idea of using metallics while using NMM style from you, and it's been a game changer! Especially for large units where I'm only looking for tabletop quality doing a 2 step yellow then gold highlight or grey then silver highlight or drybrush looks totally good enough from 4' away and is super quick. I dunno that I've got the time to ever get as good as you, but so many of your ideas still work for a painter like me who is rarely striving to push the envelope, instead hoping to just get more armies on the table, and painting slightly better and much faster is a complete win in my book. Keep up the awesome videos.
Throne dammit Marco, I got two minutes into the video and I've already had to stop and pre-order the mini! If my missus shouts at me, I'm blaming you XD. Great tutorial, I'm loving that armour colour!
Bro I’m saying, this channel is gonna BLOW up soon, Upset it took me so long to find it but this video came just in time for my indomitus set! Im thinking either this type of style or blood angels for space marines and icy blue/ gold trim with similar techniques for the necrons!
Hi Marco! I've been following your channel since nearly the beginning and let me tell you that you're just a huge inspiration not only for me but for the whole community. Everything I've learned is thanks to you and the great job that you keep doing week after week!!! I'd love to show you all my progress since the covid lockdown and I was just wondering if you'll come to Lucca Comics and Games, maybe to expose your models or just to have fun. It would be lovely to talk with you and learn so much more about your infinite knowledge. In the meantime cheers and keep up the great work!
Amazing work. Do you have to varnish after using the titanium white ink? Mine keeps pulling up when i try glazing any heavy water acrylic or contrast afterwards.
Maaaan...if I were to try that approach to painting black? It would end up a hot mess in no time flat! I have a hard enough time painting black as is. But man, it's pretty, what you did with that armor, sir.
This is great! I'm wanting to paint this model when it comes in with some Blanche inspired colors. Sharp cool blacks with warm creamy whites and reds that just pop off. In your color sketching, in theory you could flip the sketch to paint highlights with a turquoise, and transition with magenta right? Then use more blue tones rather then purple to brush in highlights?
Amazing Marco. I've just started a chromatic black templar army, using purples and magenta, from your video ideas. Q. How do you get such fine and precise work out of your airbrush?
Thanks a million man! Control it's all in the trigger; I work around 2.7 bar to have a precise, powerful initial flow and I control it with short movements of trigger using the airflow more than needle/quantity of paint
Hi Marco, this may be a silly question. But how do the Kimera colours and the liquitex soft body compare? I am trying to follow a sketch, colour (contrast or inks) then highlight process, which one would you recommend for highlights?
Another fantastic video Marco! Just one quick question, how do you avoid the zenithal white ink reactivating when you wet-blend the contrasts over the top?
Hey Marco, do you have a video about how to decide where to set reflections/bouncing lights/shadows on metallics? Could you make a video about this topic one day?
Dear Marco, how much PSI do you use for airbrushing very fluid colors like inks and contrast or xpress colors to details of a mini? For me it feels hard to not overspray. I would appreciate your help, thanks.
Amazing work I love how you paint miniatures it is just unreal to me. Do you sell this mini or would you sell it? Do you have a store painting service?
I don't know if I asked. Even if I did the chance of me finding the question and answer is slim to none. Thanks youtube. Have you ever tried Polycolor paints. I bought some a year ago and love them the bottles are not expensive and you get a ton of paint. Plus it's super flat. Also from Italy so right up your alley.
Is there a slightest chance you're gonna do a vehicle painting video? E.g., an Adepta Sororitas tank, or anything at all. I think it's the only thing missing from your channel for "wargaming" content.
Now this is the type of painting for templars ive been looking for, not the basic paint black and edge highlight.
8:00 I played it in reverse a few times. Now I have a full Deamons army. Just gotta buy the codex now 🙏

Your channel and technics are an entire whole level above other channels. You are really killing it in every videos.
The color theory step of using the translucent turquoise over the magenta to get chromatic black in a shifting shadow was brilliant. Just brilliant. 🙂
Wow watching this I realise my painting is like a toddler painting with my feet. Unbelievable 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
I’ve been painting black templars for the last 5 years. You just brought my thinking about black armor to a new level.
Love how you use the purple undertone. Will definitely be trying this technique.
Wow, just wow. Every black armour you paint is iconic and distinct. I can't even paint different colours with the finesse you do with one.
(edit: grammar)
Inspirational!
All the chromatic information you apply before desaturating/darkening the black is really useful. Great video as always!
"This is not enough to win anything"
Hahaha, that caught me off guard and made me smile. Great mini!
Sometimes you leave me speechless!! This video is saved to study over and over. Too much here to digest in one, two, or three sittings! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
God, dude, I love your miniature painting. You're my favourite painter and I hope to achieve your level of skill and versatility one day.
Marco, you inspire and I salute you, also the next bottle of red will be dedicated to you! Salute Capitan

Looks like a Simon Bisley painting masterpiece,Bravo Marco !
🤩🤩🤩😘
Is it so obvious that have been looking at Bisley stuff these two past weeks?!? 😅
Amazing work as always Marco.
Only just noticed this video today, which makes sense because it's my birthday and this was exactly my kinda gift. Thanks, Marco! 😅
🤩😁🤩 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Awesome mini, I really like the armor and orc skin!
That is absolutely breathtaking, that Black Templar armor
absolutely stunning.
I love it how you say deceptively easy when it's pure magic. Inspirational stuff Marco.
One of the cleanest paint jobs I've ever seen, that armor is NUTS man
I love all of your videos, thanks to share with us.
Brilliant approach!
Thanks so much for the inspiration I have Deathwatch marines with black armor that I've been to meaning to revisit with new skills.
You are a magician as always. Outstanding Marco and always inspiring in an easy to understand yet hard to duplicate way.
your painting is incredible
An incredible great approach! 👏👏👏
Great vid Marco. I always like the way you make the difficult easy.👍😎
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Bro. You are the best. This paint job is amazing. That armor is so nasty.
I think this is one of my favourite paint jobs ever. I'm still waiting on mine to be delivered but I'll definitely be trying out the technique you use on the black there. Thanks for sharing Marco!
This is great!
That's wild! I never thought to use nuln oil to harmonize the violet and turquoise!
Your approach to mini painting always amazes me! Hab to skip GD too this year, hopefully i can make it next year.
Marco! Thank you for your awesome content! I want to ask; Why do you move your airbrush out of frame after every few sprays? Dip into spunge to prevent tipdry or something else?

Thank you!
Great painting! As always :) one thing I would add is some blood where sword is meeting the Orc flesh :)
I absolutely I love all your videos. You are a true artist and an inspiration
I'll have to try this style on my Abaddon model
Amazin and inspiring. Thank you so much for your hard work

Talking about his shiny special effects blood angels as well!
😊😁😊😘
Brilliant stuff - great way of explaining how you consider the different ways to paint black based on the overall tone of the model
Amazing as always
Looks fantastic. Curious to try this black scheme with greens and a bright bone for Heresy era Dark angels.
Hi Marco!

Amazing work. Do you have to varnish after using the titanium white ink? Mine keeps pulling up when i try glazing any heavy water acrylic or contrast afterwards.
I was thinking the same, every time I use contrasts over airbrushed white ink it tends to pull the paint out of the model…
Was just going to comment the same thing. Happens to me every time, even if I wait a few days after airbrushing the ink.
Aaah the video is here! Yesss
Maaaan...if I were to try that approach to painting black? It would end up a hot mess in no time flat! I have a hard enough time painting black as is. But man, it's pretty, what you did with that armor, sir.
Hi Marco, awesome work as always! just a quick question: how do you thin your liquitex gouache paint on palette? Thank you !!!
'and play it in reverse, and it will summon a demon' - hahahaha!
Awesome mini! And awesome paint job!
Truly unbelievable 🔥🔥🔥
This is great! I'm wanting to paint this model when it comes in with some Blanche inspired colors. Sharp cool blacks with warm creamy whites and reds that just pop off. In your color sketching, in theory you could flip the sketch to paint highlights with a turquoise, and transition with magenta right? Then use more blue tones rather then purple to brush in highlights?
Really beautiful!
Amazing! why are you using gouache for painting miniatures? isn´t it low speed drying time and reactivated with the paint/water?
Thanks! It's acrylic gouache, basically a fancy gimmicky name to say "really mat, really opaque, highly concentrated acrylic paint" 😅
Amazing Marco. I've just started a chromatic black templar army, using purples and magenta, from your video ideas. Q. How do you get such fine and precise work out of your airbrush?

I loved this video!
Amazing paint job, I am going to try to replicate something similar with green tint instead of purple
Great for a forest setting or pre heresy Dark Angels!
Oh boi a wraaaa with da boys

Hey Marco, do you have a video about how to decide where to set reflections/bouncing lights/shadows on metallics? Could you make a video about this topic one day?
Is it possible to pull this style off without an airbrush? Excellent work
Dear Marco, how much PSI do you use for airbrushing very fluid colors like inks and contrast or xpress colors to details of a mini? For me it feels hard to not overspray. I would appreciate your help, thanks.
I have a full video dedicated to this topic! Look for it in the airbrushing playlist (Santa thumbnail 😉)
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Grazie mille Marco, I will check that. All the best to you and keep up the awesome and very inspiring work ☺️
Amazing work I love how you paint miniatures it is just unreal to me.
Do you sell this mini or would you sell it? Do you have a store painting service?
Thanks a million man! Send me an email 😉 notjustmecha@gmail.com
If this isn't enough to win anything...then count me out! Thanks Marco! 🥇
Any way you’d recommend a way to do this in true metallic? I want to do something like this for my army as it makes black so dynamic!
Amazing work Marco! 🤟🏻
Could you tell me which brush do you use for the detail work?
Thanks!!! Windsor&Newton Series7 n.1
Just signed up to the patreon!!
Thanks a million man 😍!!! Welcome on board 😁
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM i will be upgrading to the big patreon soon
Marco i NEED you to paint The Glottkin from games workshop! Your toturials are so good!
You really should partecipate to the golden demon duel! Amazing job
Could you use watercolor paints for the staining washes you did on the Ork flesh?
Sure! You need to seal them but, sure!
Marco paints a model to a standard I can only aspire to, then whispers, "This is not enough to win anything" ;P :'(
Marco is the Mario voice actor we deserve. I say this with nothing but affection lol
👍I was born for this role!
I don't know if I asked. Even if I did the chance of me finding the question and answer is slim to none. Thanks youtube.
Have you ever tried Polycolor paints. I bought some a year ago and love them the bottles are not expensive and you get a ton of paint. Plus it's super flat. Also from Italy so right up your alley.
So great Marco, are the Gouche paints you use the same as normal gouche? As in do they reactivate?
No, they're acrylic gouache so don't reactivate.
@@breff007 thanks
Yeah it's just a fancy gimmicky name for really good acrylics 😅😅😅
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM gotcha! I usually use Kimera or Golden, I have only ever used gouche as a wash before.
Where did you get it so early, I thought you can just pre-order now and it will be released after 23.oct .
Capolavoro come sempre! 👌🙌👍
Posso farti una domanda... ? Qual è la fotocamera che usi per realizzare i primi piani dei tuoi video? Grazie!
I am desperate to know how you got thr base to such a beautiful shade of orange
If you had shaky hands you would also fear edge highlight! 😂 amazing stuff
That doesn't help indeed!
PAZZESCO MAESTRO!!!
Marco can you do something tau from Warhammer 40k I really want your insight on those models.
Whats the base size on this guy? And does he come with two separate bases (gaming and display) or only the big one?
Q. What size needle do you use during this type of airbrushing?
0.2! 😊
Anyone found the REAL TIME footage of this work on his Patreon or still not uploaded on the page? Somehow I can't seem to find it.
Sorry, I've been away for a workshop and the real time version is a bit late on this one! It will drop on Patreon in the next couple of days 😊
Ace!
You should paint some marvel crisis protocol!
Definitely! And I have a bunch of X-Men waiting on a shelf!!! I just need to find the time 😅
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM So exciting, I can't wait!
Damn your painting is amazing ……..
Ehm...
Wow
🤯
Is there a slightest chance you're gonna do a vehicle painting video? E.g., an Adepta Sororitas tank, or anything at all. I think it's the only thing missing from your channel for "wargaming" content.
I don’t think Games-Workshop had this kind of expectation
10:55 chromatic sketching ... WTF???!!! That's already a great looking paint job
Magnus Carlsen is the Marco Frisoni of Chess.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😘
What if we don't have an airbrush?
Glaze and filter with a brush! Same principles, longer work, but exactly same steps
Hey Marco. I love you (no homo) ❤
