Love it! Awesome walkthrough of the behavior of the leather. It’s funny….I came here looking for an exact color recipe, but I leave with the principle, which means I’m no longer limited by color choice. That’s the beauty of a true teacher!
I really appreciate the fact that, no matter what project I'm working on, I can type in "hobby cheating [blank]" and find a quick but in-depth guide. My piratical orks are going to appreciate the extra love over the standard "base, wash, drybrush" technique
But that's honestly one of the most important ideas Vince is sharing I think. Just do the thing, don't over complicate and overthink. Stabb and dabb and have fun it'll work out in the end 😎
This is great, that there are Vince's' videos you can return to, when painting the specific part of a model you are not sure how to paint! It doesn't matter if they are old videos or new. Unique value!
I have looked so long for a good leather guide and well I will not need to look anymore! This gave me great ideas for a big model with a lot of leather
Just wanna say your videos have helped me massively. I've been painting for about a month and was struggling with my blending no matter how many videos I watched. Your hobby cheating videos on glazing/feathering/two brush etc have made it so I'm finally comfortable with commiting to a transition or shading that previously I'd have just ignored or relied on wash and call it good. I love that you PACK your videos with information and yet no time is wasted with fancy "influencer" edits/sponsor reads etc. So thankyou! My oil portrait artist father is finally able to say his son has taken after him (even if it's 24 years later than he'd like).
Fantastic video. I really love the videos you make regarding various different textures (wood, metal, leather, cloth, etc). These and the exploring color videos are my absolute favorite. 👍
Thanks for the tutorial, Vince. The idea of successive layers of wear highlights followed by a glaze of the basecoat feels useful for aging a lot more than just leather. Lots to experiment with. Cheers 👍
I literally watched your video on distressed leather yesterday to prepare for a project today, and here you go and post this great guide! Guess I'll be postponing that mini by about 12 minutes.
This is exactly the kind of video that helps us improve our painting skills beyond the basics. Love the technique and results on this character's leather. Great work, as always.
I thought there was madness in your methods, thank for the clarification ;) The color chart at the beginning of your video is a welcome addition. thanks again for your videos.
Agreed - I liked it too. Hopefully it becomes a standard for most of his videos. He always clearly shows them during the video anyway but it is a nice touch.
Once again found what I need in your videos library. You should get some mini community medal for your work mate 🏅 in theory my leather bits come out really nice, but the hint about weather, glaze, weather again cycle is new to me and onviously works great, thank you sir
« There is method to my madness! » That has to top « two thin coats » as the best miniature painting tutorial quote! Great tips… will use ‘em on my mega gargant!!! Thanks.
Heya Vincey V, from the perspective of an amateur: don't underestimate the value of showing your palette. Seeing what you're doing on the palette is as important as seeing what you're doing on the model.
I just started painting a Duchies of Vinci Army from One Page Rules and they're all cloth, leathers, and metal. So much leather lol. This is perfectly timed help. Thanks Vince!
Hype. I've been holding off on painting this guy ever since I heard you mention this tutorial. I'm not ashamed to say that right now my method for leather is "Snakebite Leather, maybe edge highlighted," very excited to try and develop new skills on it though.
Absolutely epic video. Needed this exact thing for the unending amount of leather on my ork kommandos. Never thought to mix the browns with colors like yellow or red. Thanks Vince :D
This a perfect, I've been recently stumped on painting a Frost Giant with lots of leather armor surface. The current paint job just hasn't looked right, and your tutorial on adding textures is exactly what I've been missing to make the armor pop.
Dang it, I was excited for a moment. I thought I finally had the prefect chance to tan my pelts, then I see (for miniatures). Oh well I will have to put them into my crafting bin for now.
This is an awesome tutorial overall for leather, but I came to this video specifically for the boots. They're the one part of the model you didn't cover, but I think I get the gist of how to do it after this.
Glad it was helpful! - As to boots, the simple scratches and hashes, especially around the wear areas (the toes and heels especially) as you saw me do here with items is the key.
Basic colour theory, brown is a tertiary colour, meaning it's made from the primary three, as such all three can be used to create variety. Like most browns you'd get from the bottle will be in the yellow range, try a strong red or blue brown time to time.
Great tutorial for how to think about leathers, I love it. I have an easy mode way to handle leather coats, to do, for example doing several skitarii units in leather coats instead of colored robes. 1. You pick a base, midtone, highlight: So for example, Rhinox Hide, Skrag Brown, Kislev flesh would give something that faded jacket look, although it'll be a little less red. 2. Basecoat the leather 3. Wash liberally with nuln oil. 4. Dry brush the midtone liberally and really get it in there. 5. Dry brush it again with the highlight, catching all the raised areas/edges but also criss cross your drybrushing in random spots to make faded areas. 5. Wash it all again, liberally, with nuln oil. The black wash specifically gives dark lows. This technique is a good shortcut for entire units and even the minimum bare effort while give loads of color contrasts like seen on worn leather. It won't give you tiny scratches, so you'll have to work them in yourself. The steep rises in paints dulled by the wash is what brings it all together. This assembly line method allows you to go from mini to mini without waiting much, if at all and get a nice leather look across an army very quickly. If you want creamy leather, you just use zandri dust, screaming skull (or karak, or ushabti) and however bright a white you dare to use - I'd use an army painter's strong tone to wash it with. For red leather, you use khorne red, or evil sunz red, fire dragon bright orange - nuln oil. For the dark brown Primaris Chaplain coat it's Dryad Bark, Baneblade Brown and Screaming Skull - nuln oil. (the official uses karak stone instead of screaming skull, but you need a lighter highlight since you're washing over it)
This is awesome and was exactly what I needed to see. I've been trying to figure out how to paint a ranger for a little while bow and this has helped me figure it out
sweet vid as always. little tip i found for leather is scalecolour. their ultra matte finish really makes chipped leather look even more leather like. if you want a more freshly polished look, then the default satin acrylics will do just fine. but for chipped and worn and textured leather, the matte scalecolour is amazing.
Nice lesson and easy to follow along, curious though if you post still pictures somewhere as I would like a “closer-up” view to see if I can better recreate the look?
Thanks and well done video, i see the same thing a lot with miniature painters when it comes to leather, they pick one brown and all the leather is painted the same.
The earthquake thing is called a Seismometer or a Seismograph. Anyways a little sidenote since you mentioned blending. I think it was on the old Painting Buddha channel that i heard either Ben or (forgot the other ones name) say, that you actually don´t want to create too smooth a blend on leather. as that will actually make it look more like skin, than how leather looks in real life. Don´t know how true that is or if i am just misremembering or misheard things (or a combination of both).
Leather tanned with bark or leaves, or other sources of natural tannins, will be yellow-brown to red-brown depending on the specific tannins used; using animal brains for tanning can produce pale to white leather. Any of these can be dyed, but without the availability of synthetic dyes (or equivalents in a fantasy world). Dying the leather after tanning combines the dye color with the tanned color of the leather, so will generally be duller than the dyes themselves. Yellow, working from white leather, is the most difficult color to get using traditional dyes, while greens, blues, reds, browns, and blacks could achieve varying degrees of intensity depending on the number of times the dye was applied, increasing the cost, so serviceable 'adventurer' quality leather goods would generally be in the base color of the tanned leather.
Only vaguely relevant to this video (because I've just finished painting a VERY brown mini and had this issue) but I'd love to see a guide on colour matching without a recipe. In my case, I was trying to add contrast and thus went back and forth and the various bits ended up unintentionally being different colours with me being unable to duplicate the favourite tone I had painted earlier.
Thank you for all your content. I am going through a very horrible time in my life and looking forward to your stuff gives me at least one more thing to hang on to. Since book binding can be leather: do you have any literature recommendations (philosophical/helpful) that might also ease my journey? Again, thank you for everything you do sir, keep living your best life.
FIrst, very happy to help. :) Second, as far as reading, something like Camus's reading always helps me. I am an absurdist in the end and that speaks to me. (assuming that is what you are looking for).
Thanks for the awesome video! Also, it would be interesting to see your review of new Citadel synthetic brushes. I bet quite a lot people would watch this (clicks!). Imho new small glaze and shade brushes are quite nice.
What about oiled leather? My instinct is to do some of the same weathering but then hit the piece of leather with a stronger glaze with some gloss medium/varnish mixed in. Or I guess a glossy wash. Maybe even a thinned contrast since they have a glossy finish?
Honestly, you can get really old leather simply by making sure a) it's matte and b) repeating all the steps so you create lots of wear happening "over time"
Hi. Did you clear coated between oil wash and acrylics or did you paint them right after wash dried? And if its the second how acrylics behave on top of oil wash?
I did, but it was more to matte out the finish, you can paint over the top if the oil paints have completely dried, but I like to varnish just to even everything out.

@@VinceVenturella Ah okey, haha. I recently discovered how different the white looks when applied like this on other colors (although you mention it so many times in your videos haha). But it was so easy to spot in this video :D
Sure, so that is the yellowish leather you saw me do, really, it's just incorporating yellow into your brown (or just using such a paint to begin with)> :)
Can someone tell me what miniature this is? I've seen it in a few different videos and would love to paint one. It kind of reminds me of the abyss watcher armor from DS3
It won't gerenerally feel right unless you are trying to do really rough skin like for a troll. If you're trying to get something very ragged and aged or monstrous, yes, you can use this.
Art instructor: "Ok, mix up all the colors on your palette.... mhmm..... what color did you get?" Class: "Brooownnnnnnn" Art instructor: "NO! You have grey!!! This happens to be a warm grey, contrasting colors desaturate each other when mixed to form a cool or warm grey" Class: "dafuq?"

Thank you once again for an excellent tutorial.
If i may ask why was an oil wash used instead of an acrylic wash ?
Thanks in advance.
Try a oil wash and you will never go back to acrylics.
Just easier to utilize and causes less challenges. Easy to clean if something gets where I don't want it and flows much better.
Thanks for the awesome video!
Also, it would be interesting to see your review of new Citadel synthetic brushes. I bet quite a lot people would watch this (clicks!).
Imho new small glaze and shade brushes are quite nice.
I'll see what I can do.
You need to get a Reynolds sponsor at this point
You're not wrong. ;)
question: where can i find the miniature? I love it so much
It's the witch hunter from Games Workshop in the Cursed City box, I believe they now sell the heroes alone.
What about oiled leather? My instinct is to do some of the same weathering but then hit the piece of leather with a stronger glaze with some gloss medium/varnish mixed in. Or I guess a glossy wash. Maybe even a thinned contrast since they have a glossy finish?

No, it can help to lock eveything in, but it's not necessary as long as you let it completely cure.
Did you mean red oxide? I can't find red ochre in any of the sets I have
Yep, that will work. Red Ochre is from Scale 75 Artist colors, but that will work.
