    I've written my comment a year ago. I'm very sad that this channel hasn't uploaded in all this time. The potential here was/is huge. Miniature painters who paint just in oils lack a reliable, noob friendly channel with techniques, experiences and in general miniature painting. Come back! :)

      Hear hear! Would love to see more videos! This channel and James Wappel are basically it...

    Fantastic video! And thank you for calling out the ridiculous naming conventions acrylic mini ranges use for their skin-tones.

    Thank you. Each of your videos boosts my confidence to try oils.

    This one has probably been the best at illustrating the subtle gradations possible. The transitions from highlight to shadow across the muscles is very natural looking. Having a deft hand and an eye for the natural details certainly helps too. Awesome effort.

      Thanks. I want to do more with organic shapes, as all that power armour just doesn't convey it in the same way.

    Great stuff here!
    I just finished my first foray into oil painting miniatures a few days ago. I did the Wappel method (that you show here) of preglazing, sponge wiping, then applying midtones which automatically just blend in with the preglaze. It felt like absolute magic coming from acrylics. Here are paints that ACTUALLY blend. Aside from the super useful color theory and complexion info presented, you really demonstrated that "blending magic" in a really practical way. I hope more people give oils a try. In a lot of ways I find it easier, more intuitive, more relaxed and forgiving.

    Hey Mate! I stumbled across your channel from other oil painters on youtube and its so refreshing to have a fellow Australian explain oils in such a practical and easy to parse style. I've only just started dabbling with oils and I'm really enjoying the 'painterly' freedom a set of primaries can provide. I'd love to see some more vids on actual technique breakdowns: Thick on thin, blending vs drybrushing, and mixing media. Keep up the great work!

  • @totallycarbon2106

    So glad I stumbled into your channel via the oil FAQ video - I think you are making the best informative miniature oil painting tutorials out there on RUclips. Super valuable stuff.

    I've now played with these and the results are shockingly achievable, the approach is so well taught I'm working on my own treatment of pale, cold flesh now, and despite that it's still the subtle hint of blood in the cheeks that sells it

    Thank you a lot for the video! I really love your presentation: clear and concise. You give really easy to follow starting points but also delve a bit on more advanced options.
    I will definitely try these options on some WH Underworlds Dwarves I have laying around :)

    These are great videos. I a bit bummed you've stopped making them. Can you use a non-staining paint for the undertone terra rosa and asphaltum are a bit pricey and I'm on a budget.

    Hello! This video is awesome!!!
    I’ve been wanting to get back into doing flesh tones with oils again!!! And you have inspired me!!
    I have one question… did you just use “white” as the primer base or do I see a “zenithal” prime on the the figures?? Any help will be appreciated.

  • @steveclarke6257
    @steveclarke6257 Год назад

    Tx John for this video, however I have an observation. Back in the 1980's I met a old guy called Joe Shaw - He painted was an old school guy and did work for Hinchcliffe (who were a figure manufacturer here in the UK) and painted their "Pheonix Follies" range. I asked him about how he painted the "Nubian slave girl" and he said the key to very dark skin tones was a slightly green basecoat- now i cant remember if he painted in Oil's or Acrylics (or possibly both) but I was wondering if you had a comment?

    • @mendedbrushstudio
      @mendedbrushstudio  Год назад

      Not just for darker skin. Warm and neutral undertones in general tend to contain more green and, like blue, it can really enhance your shadows and bring your skin to life.

    I picked up the Abtielung oil "flesh" set and have been giving it a go on some models. I like working with them, so different from acrylic though so it is like learning all over again. I want to paint busts with very realistic skin, so I have a long way to go. Any resources you might recomend other than your channel? It is hard to find info on using oils for mini painting, or I just havent found any.

    So, do you varnish these after they dry so you can play with these models? How does the typical hobby varnish interact with the oil paints?

    you make this look so easy. ive only begun to dabble in oils and am still working on getting the blending right. how much thinner do you normally use i feel i always use to much or not enough

    • @mendedbrushstudio
      @mendedbrushstudio  Год назад

      As little as possible, as it's always easier to add more than take away. The last section of this video covers paint adhesion a bit: ruclips.net/video/eke7SlBaZ4Q/видео.html

    Cadmium yellow? Was it actual cadmium yellow, or cadmium yellow hue?
    I hope it's the latter!

    • @mendedbrushstudio
      @mendedbrushstudio  Год назад

      Hue in this video, but I use real cadmium often. Go with what you're comfortable with.

      Thanks for wanting to join! I've had to pause the Patreon for the time being due to life getting the way of my release schedule. Once I'm back in a rhythm I plan on opening it back up again.

    You would get a better result using cyan instead of the ultramarine blues, and magenta instead of the cadmium reds, and iv always found oils leave a dark dirty tone on miniatures. I much prefer clean looking paintwork with gradients and detail, instead of extremes in contrast and loss in the details.
