Wow, I love the design idea. Maybe it’s time for me to add to my ruins! PS. If you can see brush strokes, then you’re not drybrushing. Wipe off most of the paint on something like a piece of corrugated cardboard
My painting skill is more geared for miniatures. I got one stop tomorrow at Home Depot for the right foam and minor tools. I can't argue with getting a free hot glue gun. Soon enough, I'll have time to do my own work. Your techniques are easy to grasp and i could get it going really quick. Love these videos. 👍
You know, I’ve never heard of anyone trying this material in terrain painting, but I put that down to being novel: they make a water soluble oil paint. One tube of Burnt Umber ought to tell you whether it would work for you, and it should be pretty translucent even before you thin it out, with water or spirit. Dark brown. Enjoyed your video, nice little ruin.
There are several other builders, Black Magic Craft, Eric's Hobby Workshop, and Boylei Hobby Time, that have some great advice on using oil washes. I have been using watered down acrylic ink and acrylic paint for my washes. I have some old oil paints that could be thinned down with spirits. I have my process fairly homogenized to water based materials but I should give oil washes a try. The clean up and drying time has been a hurdle for me so far.. Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate the feedback!
@@ravenstead i used to use an oil wash technique in illustration, you would cover your pencil drawing with heavy fixative, then paint over the whole thing with thinned down oil paint. Then pull the highlights off in reverse with a brush using pure spirit, and when it dried enough, with an eraser. It was a fast technique, I don’t remember anything taking more than half an hour to dry. I would wait an hour just to be certain, then fix again before acrylic and color pencils to finish. It was a moody vintage photo look. I’ve thought about trying it again now that those noxious solvents are optional.
@@thaliahelene I bet that looked amazing! I would love to see your work. I watch Bob Ross all the time and draw a lot of inspiration from oil painters. I try to use an impressionist approach to terrain with indications of detail. If I were to get into more diorama work I would definitely want more detail. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot to me that you would take the time to share!
You really should give it a try to paint those stones in sandstone brown (reddish brown / e.g. old GW saddle brown) with a highlight of pale skintone. Pretty much most European medieval stone buildings from little stables to majestic castles were constructed from the red sand stone (harder and more expensive) or yellowish sandstone (cheaper and softer). It looks much more realistic than grey stones and is not as usual in the tabletop community.
That's going to be great! I love my proxxon. I'm thinking about getting the fence from shifting lands. The stock fence is a little wiggly. Best of luck! I have a Patron showcase on my Patreon page if you want to show off your builds.
I'm curious; what's haunting the ruins? I like this build because it seems very playable all by itself; a small ruin sitting alone in a shrinking clearing. Thank you for sharing.
We shall see. It just had a spooky feel to it when I was finished. I may use this as an inspiration for my next Patreon adventure campaign. We just start one featuring the Goblin Stronghold from last week.
Yeah, I remember catching his show on PBS back in the day. I always loved how chill he was. I just want to bring that to people in whatever way I can. Thanks for watching!

I usually wipe my brush on a paper towel but sometimes the brush gets loaded as I work. I need a new brush!

That's so exciting! I love gearing up for a project! Goodluck!
Awesome haunted ruins, and just in time for October. Of course you still managed to include the ever present rotten plank.
Never forget the rotten plank! We need tee shirts! Thanks for watching!
Very atmospheric. I love the smaller builds, that look so detailed and amazing, but still inspire en push me to make my own terrain too.
This is a great hobby! Even cardboard terrain is looking good! Go for it!
Beautiful build, love seeing the rotten plank back
Our dear rotten plank friend missed you too! Thanks!
I noticed some strands of cobwebs in there as well. Very cool. As always.
Lol! Hot glue strings! A "happy accident" as Bob Ross would say!
Another creative masterpiece, congrats, I do like the finishing, especially the use of the moss/vegetation...
Thank you! I would love to see some of your miniatures on this terrain.
@@ravenstead One day may be!😊😊
Love the little touches of yours. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I enjoy putting in the little details! Thanks!
Love the shaping and weathering. Looks really good 😊😊😊👻👻👻
Thank you! I really enjoyed this build!

Maybe these are African medieval stone buildings. (failed monty python joke)
Great ideas! I am getting a little to comfortable in my palate, I will have to branch out. Thanks for the feedback!
Always look forward to these builds.
Thank you for watching another video!
Another great little project. Thank you!
It was a fun build! Thanks!
I enjoy your videos and your presentation style. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! This is such a cool hobby!
After getting my Proxxon im going to make this as a nice at starter.

Beautiful as every time you craft anoter piece. 😊
Thank you! This was a fun, quick build. I already have a D&D encounter written for it!
@@ravenstead that sounds great. 😊
That is a must!
I appreciate you watching!
good stuff, good stuff.. I want to see you do oil washes I think you'd kill with em.
Thank you! I just need to build a few test pieces or maybe I'll just go for it on camera.

Thank you for watching!
Awesome, as usual! Love your work!
Thank you so much for your support!
cobweb could b a cool and subtle "haunted"" touch :--)
Someone just saw a hot glue string I missed, does that count?
I love it , great work 👍
Thank you so much!
Very cool project ✌️
Thank you! I might have to expand on the terrain a bit! I liked the thinner base. Thanks for watching!
awesome!
Thank you!
First Comment!!!! Go Me!! Nice video!!!!
Thank you for the first comment and for watching!
Aha. Youre a Bob Ross watcher. I caught that 😏
Yeah, I remember catching his show on PBS back in the day. I always loved how chill he was. I just want to bring that to people in whatever way I can. Thanks for watching!
