Mixing strange varieties of goop with an outer space soundtrack. Excellent!
Space goop is best goop ;)
The 'Are you childish?' mug cracked me up. Must have!
Finally! Someone noticed :)
I probably have only started on the, "how to make wash paint" videos but I think this is the best mix your paint I have seen. I LOVE that you show actually measured stuff. instead of "guess" your puddles are the same. I think the glue tip is great too!
Glad you found it useful! :)
Whipped up a jar following your instructions. Perfect results including dipping miniatures for my 70 man guardsmen gunline. I’m in your debt!
Happy to help!
I appreciate the way you measure your wash components. "Add some of this, and a few drops of that" can be infuriating, especially to someone who's never done this sort of thing before.
I've seen this videos so many times it's burned into memory, doesn't mean i'll stop
all your videos have made making my first army so much better and more unique looking, thank you very much
This comment totally made my day! Thanks for watching :)
Bought nuln oil.. knocked it over immediately.. but loved the effect of what little i managed to get on my miniatures! this video has saved me, thank you so much!!
finally got my backside in gear to make some of my own washes up using this tutorial, and i am now finally realising just how much ive been shelling out for "professional" washes from you-know-who for years, got 3 50ml bottles made up and loads of materials to spare, fianlly spurred to act as i have a big ole kings of war army to get painted and it was gonna cos an arm and a leg in washes, probably 3 times what i ended up paying for all these bits :)
Many thanks for this tutorial,. really clear, concise and easy to follow, definitely gonna make up a batch with the glue added for terrain work in the future, shade and seal in one? perfecto!
Just whipped up my first pot. Well see how this turns out. I need to do loads of terrain for Necromunda so this will be perfect. Thank you for this video. Perfect pace. Easy to follow and does a great job explaining as you go.
Yeah! It's miracle juice for terrain pieces :)
yes! i've been looking forward to this tutorial since i found your necron tutorial. so glad it's finally here
Yas! Good luck :)
Good well paced and good focussed camera. Content was bang on and just what I need right now. Thanks mate! I’ll buy you a pint if ever I run into you.
I'm getting thirsty already
@@MidwinterMinis and I'll buy you a paint.
I truly hope Guy got his pint
@@xunxhinexuicide looks like this rounds on me!
This is hands down the best DIY wash video on youtube. Everyone else wings it with the measurements. Thanks.
Thanks Justin! Yeah, I was pretty dissatisfied with the vague instructions from others, that's why I made this :)
This is really a good way to make washes.
I most humbly thank you, Midwinterguy !
the label on that jar is just perfect
Happy new year! Recently found your channel and I've just knocked up my first batch ready for speed freaks. Great tutorial!
Woo! Happy New Year to you too matey. Good luck with the terrain :)
This was the cruellest tease since your first sandstone necron video. FINALLY.
But for real; this is super useful. Thanks!
Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen ;)
Thank you! This is perfect for ageing and distressing stuff as well as just being a great wash! Interesting music! I will definately pass your details on to any other miniaturists...we all seem to have a dark kind of tilt to what we do so I'm sure you would go down well...anything that makes things look grimy or beat up tends to go down really well lol!
Just found out your channel yesterday. Glad you continue to make videos, they are all great. Keep it up :)
Thanks! Comments like this make it worth it :)
A really good video.
Good content, good camera work and a great pace.
Thanks!
Made my first pot of wash today! Thanks, Guy!
Awesome tip with using the pva for texture washes!
Finally got round to going to Hobbycraft and getting all the stuff needed for this. Now I have two big jars of black and brown wash, and the results have been great. Thanks for creating this walkthrough, now I won't need to pay through the nose for GW Nuln Oil or Agrax ever again!
Great video thank you I need buckets of wash for a big terrain project, I will definitely be using this recipe!
I used this recipe but didn't have any artist's ink, so I used some cheap artist paint from Amazon I had around the house instead. I got surprisingly good results! It probably would have been better with proper pigments but I just thought I'd mention, this recipe seems to be pretty adaptable with adjustments depending on what one has. Thank you so much for this, I feel like I have jumped up to a whole new level with my hobby without having to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive professional washes and contrasts
This is great, what a huge money saver and thanks for sharing this!
No problem! Pretty good time saver, too! Dunk, wipe, dry... DONE!
Five years in and I still go back to this video whenever I need to make myself another pot of wash.
This is literally the best DIY wash video out there. I love your DIY videos.
This is awesome. Keep up the good work.
Made it! Works so well!
This is by far the most simple and effective recipe I've seen so far. Thank you.
*suscribes *
Woo! You're welcome!
Doh! I was at the hardware shop and got cheap craft paint ,because I was trying to remember this recipe from 3 years ago.
Perfect for shading my Boarding Actions terrain without going bankrupt...!
Thank you very much! ❤
Love your work mate! This will save me a mint!
This is awesome. I always use dishwasher rinse aid instead of soap because it doesn't bubble up. But I'm most def going to invest in some acrylic medium.
Ah, that's a nice idea! Hadn't thought of that :)
Awesome tutorial , I’ll try to make that in my next video , thanks you
Really good easy to follow tutorial vid. Great job guys. Oh and thanks for theThe 'Evil Dick Van Dyke' label! Loved that.
Brilliant video! Easy to follow and perfect camera handling. Great tips, hadn't even thought about water quality.
This was helpful and well done. Thank you.
This is the only DIY wash recipe that's worked out for me. I added some liquitex flow aid and it's perfect. Thanks!😀
What ratio/parts flow improver?
@@ProjeKtWEREWOLF flow aid is a surfactant, so take out the dish soap and add a similar amount ( just a few drops) to get the same effect.
Great video, very useful to have a cheap supply of washes.
Exactly! :)
Fantastic tutorial, thanks for sharing this.
No, thank YOU for watching :)
Very helpful, especially if one has been out of the painting scene for quite some time and wants to get get going again rather fast. Brb - mixing inks and waters alchemically.
Don't forget EYE OF NEWT.
I've been using Les's recipe for washes for a while now. It seems to be a little different with equal parts water and matte medium. I don't know which is better but it has been working well for me. I keep some around without ink to make paint based washes on the fly. I take my base coat color, add a small amount of black ink and squirt in some wash recipe to make a wash that is tonally compatible with the original base coat color.
Yeah, there's lots of different methods! Wash/glaze-making is turning into a bit of an art form these days :)
Your hard water is awesome for brewing beer! Wish I had it. 🍺😃
This will ne useful for the Vastoyan army my lastest clent comissioned me for. I am not getting into those cracks and crevices on their fur hats by hand without a Space Marine's lifespan!
Love this Video!!! Could one use Air Brush Flow aid to replace the soap/dish washer rinse solution?
This video is great! I have only one question: is it good as a normal wash and go to your minis with a brush rather then dipping them?
G'day Mate awesome video. I tried this technique and it all ran to the bottom of the mini do i have too much sufactant or not enough lol
Thank you very much, nice recipe very well explained.
Glad you found it useful :)
Just found your channel. Great stuff!
Thank you!
Great man! I’d never heard of “centilitres” before.
You learn something new every day :)
Love the video, have you tried using floor polish like pledge of future floor polish as opposed to dish soap as a surfactant? you suggest dipping can you brush this mix on?
Awesome! Thanks, very handy for large amounts of terrain washing without going broke!
Exactly! Who needs a mortgage for Nuln Oil? ;)
Really appreciate the links to the various items to get me started you recommend, though most of them are not available in the USA :( any idea of good alternatives?
Super helpful tips for a beginner like me. And who knew about van Dyke.....it's always the quiet ones. ^_^
Cool video. Thanks!
I use something similar, but replace the glue with Acrylic floor wax. It will give them a glossy coat but the inks tend to do that anyway. Thanks for the video, good stuff. Loved the Necron video and their paint scheme.
Thanks Rob, great tip :)
Distilled water is a good idea as is RO/DI. You can get it from a car store or fish/pet shop respectively and is usually cheap. Tap water can become stale and things can begin to smell over time. With distilled or RO/DI, this is far less likely to occur. Just a handy tip for anyone that didn't already know about it. It's also pretty safe to add to water based paints that are drying out a bit.
Nice! Good tip, thank you. What if I like smelly paints, though? ;)
///Tap water can become stale...///
Depends where you live. Rule of thumb is if your tap water is safe to drink, it'll be fine in your paint.
Brilliant.
YES !!! THANKS !!!!
i use a mix of matte medium, ink and W5 rinse aid, works brilliantly, no water needed
seriously, man.... I'd love to see how you do with some of the named inquisitors!
Great simple recipe!
I had a few question about replacing some ingredients!
Can I use pouring medium instead of regular medium?
And can I replace the dish soap by glycerin or flow improver?
Brilliant video thanks. My hobby shop does not stock Acrylic Painting Medium. Is there anything I can substitute it with> Cheers
Great video thanks !
I'll personnaly add some drops of toad slime too.....
Do you still add the 8 parts of water if you’re doing a second part medium as opposed to PVA? Or would you go with less??
I was looking at the Amazon links. But they are all UK links. You should add some USA links too! Great videos all around.
Thanks for the video! Thought I would share my (albeit first) experience of following this recipe. My first attempt did not go into the recesses very well and stained flat panels (undesirable for me). After some thinking and research, I found out that different dish soap brands actually contain quite different levels of surfactant. Fairy Liquid for example can contain up to twice as much as cheap supermarket brand stuff (the latter I unfortunately used in my mix). I'm going to try again by adding more of my cheap soap and see how it goes...
How did it go?!
@@codykrueger796 not great, the mixture didnt flow very well on the models and often sort of coagulated (for want of a better word).
Someone else in the comments here uses windshield washer fluid instead of dishsoap!
If you happen to have isopropyl at home, would you say that the dosage would be the same for that as it is for dish soap?
I guess you could use flow improver rather than dish soap? I bought some after Vince Venturella said it would help with edge highlighting (I'm still bad at it)
I use windshield wiper fluid as it works without the bubbles.
Mine turned out extremely runny & didn't cling to recesses very well, would adding more medium help?
Great tips
Thanks! :)
Any thoughts from people on gloss vs matt painting medium? And on good fluid pva glues in the USA? I thought perhaps modge podge?
I use the inks strait out the jar with small amount of water.
Can airbrush flow improver be used in place of the soap?
Could a similar effect be gained if you were to use acrylic paint nstead of the ink?
Is there a substitute you could use for paint medium?
The blue-tak glue base looked muddy.
It seems like it would be a good wash for wet environments looks.
Have you played with that at all?
Very useful.
No worries Frank!
Can you use just glue or do you need to use the paint medium?
quick question! if i add a lot of water to black citadel paint, will it do as a wash too?
Can this be brushed on fairly well?
Is there any way to get the shade more matt??
Awesome tutorial, great job. I made a similar wash when I needed a really large amount to go over my Realm of Battle boards.
I used Pledge floor wax as the main carrier, it's essentially a liquid acrylic medium, a little matte varnish mixed in to dull the shine, but everything else was pretty much the same, ink, p.v.a. and water. Stuff is practically bulletproof, gamed on those boards for years without any chipping.
RE: water. Up here in Yorkshire the water is pretty variable by area. But around where I live we had a lot of water-works go on and the water changed to hard afterward strangely. For the purposes of painting with my airbrush or big mixes like above I found the solution was to buy big jugs of De-ionised water, it's used for ironing and car batteries to combat scale build-up, I found it pretty easily in local supermarkets and places like Halfords and it's not too pricey either.
Keep up the awesome work, really enjoying your channel. I considered starting up a hobby channel but had no idea how to bloody go about it lol.
Thanks mate! Yeah, I've heard good things about Pledge floor wax, maybe I'll give it a go some day soon! Great tip on the de-ionised water! :)
As far as starting a hobby channel goes, if you enjoy doing it, just go for it! I didn't really have any expectation of audience or success or anything, I just wanted to help new painters out :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Mate
You're welcome Eric! :)
Hi MWMs. I'm finding my wash is running a bit thin... what's best at the later stage of putting the mix together to thicken the mix?
Cool
@midwinter minis reckon this would work well on imperial fists? My original plan was averland spray > agrax earthshade > drybrushing various lighter yellows.
Y'know what? I think it might. That test was over Averland Sunset. Maybe a good easy recipe would be something like Averland Sunset, dip wash, drybrush white, then yellow glaze? Worth a try!
Can you make the wash with color inks
Thanks for that great tutorial.
I‘d like my wash more fluid, do i just need to add water or would you advise also more medium/soap?
Greetings Stecki
Add more water. You should be careful with the soap, as adding too much will make it a glaze instead of a wash (breaking the surface tension completely will prevent the wash from settling in the recesses). In fact, if you are not adding any thick PVA glue (which is absolutely not necessary), you shouldn't need any soap at all in a wash. Again, surfactants like soap are for glazes, where you want to stain the entire surface evenly.
@@egodreas is thinner pva glue just simply watered down thick glue or is there more going on here? Want it to still be durable but don't want to use the wrong viscosity glue in my wash.
I need some help here. The wash used for the Grimdark Knight seems to be a lot darker than this one. Should I just go for straight black ink or did I miss something?
2021 Question for you Guy and or Penny,
Hobby craft have since stopped producinh their paint medium, will this recipe work with the same Galleria matt medium from the Midwinter Medium video?
If not do you have any alternative suggestions?
Cheers!
If you have a condencing Tumble Dryer you can also use the water from that. Plus it smells laundry fresh, mmmmm
Great to have a more accurate video on washed - the bit of this drop of that does not work for me. Thanks. Love your soundtrack - am an ambient fan form way back. Off to Bandcamp to check it out!
If you use the wash with PVA on models, does it creature problems painting over it? Ie can you still do highlighting etc?
great recipe! can you also brush it, or is this only meant for dipping? thanks! :-)
I brush with it all the time! :)
Following your ork terrain tutorial and wanting to make this wash. Can I use glazing medium instead of acrylic medium? Is there a difference? Can anyone help?
If I've made it and it seems a little thin, would I add some more pva?
