This is a great example of just how much more informative Marco is than most anybody else in the hobby world. Masterfully done!
Too kind 😊😍😊!
And also a complete avoidance of clickbait techniques. What you see is what your get. :)
*Vincy V has entered the chat*
Seriously Marco, it is insane that you don't have more subscribers! NO ONE on youtube is providing as much varied, useful, detailed, consistent and well-explained information on the art form as you. After watching this I logged into Patreon and increased the level of my pledge because I feel ashamed I'm not giving you more for this quality content!
Oh no Marco, I'm not even comfortable with my oils yet and now there's another product line in the pipe
While on the whole I would agree that metallic art paints can have courser flakes, it is very important to note that Golden offers a "Fine" option for many of their metallics. While it may still not be the finest out there, the flakes in paints marked so, have at least as fine mica flakes as most hobby brands. I am particularly partial to their "Iridescent Bronze (Fine)".
I can't help but think my comment in a previous video had something to do with the topic of this one! Excellent video as always. I've really enjoyed exploring my local fine art stores lately, it's given me a better appreciation for the strengths and weaknesses of hobby products. Also, Golden is an employee-owned company, which rules.
Hahahahahah yep, I have to be honest, you deserve the credit for this video!
Ciao Marco, volevo chiederti se potessi fare un video su come dipingere un’armatura nera metallizzata ( mi era piaciuto molto il video sui blood angels dipinti usando il tamiya clear red)
Grazie
Legit I hit the like button as soon as I see the HELLO GUYS! I can't help it.
😂❤️honestly I click onto this thumbnail because your arms and hands looked backwards 🙌 and I was like… what?! Lol 👍great video, fun info.
Great video. I’d love to see an artist interview with you and Vince. You have such great insights Marco.
Ive learned so much about paints and art from you. Thank you so much Marco.
Great video! thanks for the good demonstration
I find you such a thought-provoking and considered teacher and creator that if you opened a video with "Hello guys! Welcome back to Not Just Mechas. Marco here and today we're going to talk about spoons", I'd be totally on board and ready for the journey. Your opinions and reasonings for everything are just so excellently explained that I can take them at face value and work with the new information easily.
Been using Golden High Flow ever since they launched them to replace the older golden airbrush range.
The best way to describe them in my opinion is a very stable, flowing ink. They don't react to water and thinners the same way as many inks and won't break apart very quickly so you always feel like you can go super thin while retaining control. And needles to say they're a dream in the airbrush and markers.
Love the fact you're bringing this to the attention of more people in the hobby
Thank you Marco, your enthusiasm is contagious and helps to keep me slaying the grey and pewter armies in my closet of shame!
Marco, your channel is a true treasure trove of information. Never stop!
Thanks for your enthusiasm and the thorough and easy to understand explanation of the Golden High Flow line.
I love these but watching your video has given me new more technical appreciation. I always learn something watching your channel!
Thanks a lot Marco ! Your videos really inspire to try new things and to expand the range of tools and techniques used., many of which I would never thought of using. It's almost like a new way of seeing the hobby.
These are the best. The transparent range and the Fluro are amazing.
I researched these after seeing a video of yours a few months ago, great work! Research has become a lost "art" . I like your videos because I can tell you've done your homework and not just speaking out of your axe like most other "creators". Much respect good sir.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
So, so, so, educational and helpful!
I have gazed at and considered trying these paints literally everytime I'm at my local art store but due to my lack of knowledge, and even the lack of information about this line in Golden's own videos I have waited and not tried them. Now, all my questions about them have been answered and I will be trying them out in the future.
Thank you Marco. 👍👍❤
I really enjoyed this video; thanks!
Great review with plenty of useful info as usual 👍
Ah yes my local art shop has the full range. I love how you're always trying new things and willing to just drop 500€ on a full paint range to try it out!
Combining a bit of Christmas and bulk discount I remained under 250!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I'm so fucking jelly. I only have a few bottles (primary colors, white, and a metallic) I got for Christmas.
I love this channel!!!
Thanks for the video. I have been eyeing these colors for a little bit now and I appreciate the review in regards to our hobby.
It is funny how we are so quick to compartmentalize our hobby. Using more readily available mediums has completely opened this hobby world to me. I have lived in many places where Vallejo or GW paints are at least ah hour away in person. Yes, the interwebs connect us to the greater world, but it is not the same, when compared to the frequency that a craft store or artist supply in my area. Thanks again from one M to the O named human to the other. Grazie! Ciao - Mario
It is nice to see Golden getting its due in this area. I have been supporting this company retail wise in Australia for about 15 years now. While its expensive you never see anyone go back to another brand after they use it. Thanks Marco for opening yet another door for this brilliant company.
Do you still love this paint 3 years later Marco? The Golden paint brand
Always a good day when an NJM video goes up. well, good for me, bad for my wallet lol
😂😂😂
I bought a set based on your studio expose and haven’t regretted. I can add a bit of matte medium to matte them if I need..your explanation is spot on: learning the pigment content allows one to move beyond little paint sets and paint by numbers. As well Golden has some interesting on line resources ...thank you for doing this one Marco..
Marco knocks it out of the park again, I also bought a set of Golden HF back at Christmas, they are incredible, I was going to make a video about them too but this one was amazing so I think you can have that one 😜
Thanks for the great video, I love your videos where you cover the intersection of artist paint and miniatures. I've been using artist paint for almost all of my mini painting after I discovered how fantastic it is, the known pigment values are definitely helpful. It's great that you're covering more of how they compare to mini paints since I've only used Vallejo and Army Painter mini paints, which are good but suffer from mystery pigments like the GW paints. The only disadvantage I've found is that if I want to colour match a specific range I need to mix it myself, which I find quite fun since I can tweak the colour to exactly what I want. I'm still learning proper colour mixing but it's a fun process.
I wanted to buy (some paints of) this line! thanks for sharing your view!
I really enjoy your videos, I always learn something. Please never stop making content.
😊😊😊
I love the Golden highflow line! Been using them for a while now. And their fluid acrylic line as well. The fluid acrylic line doesn't have the agitator in the bottles, but easy enough to add your own.
Love the HFA for normal art and I've been using them for minis. The white is really good for quick and stark zenithals
grande marco, top come sempre
I appreciate your take on miniature painting as art. one of the reasons that I follow your channel specifically is because I feel that you are always pushing the medium by bringing attention to materials that aren't focused on miniature painting into the hobby.
This video was amazing. I bought a few Golden Hi-Flow plaints from my local art store to mess around, but was told by my local airbrush dealer they aren't great for aibrushing. I liked them though, so I felt like I must have been doing something wrong. Thanks Marco! I'll trust myself more and continue trying new paints like these!
Excellent video with really informative content as always bro. 😁
Thanks, I've been eying them, just hadn't pulled the trigger. I did get another high flow paint that has worked great for me
Interesting, I just grabbed a pack of Golden paints the other day out of curiosity. Glad to see image a good purchase
the biggest reason i bought gw stuff is because there was a very helpful store person there when i started out. now i get army painter for cheaper. i should see where i can get better stuff
Yay. Thursday saved!
I've loved high flow since I got into model making. Their florescent paints are my go to. You should check out their new soft body so-flat paint line. They are awesome too.
I had seen these a few times at my local art store when grabbing print-making supplies. Hadn't considered them for mini painting. Will grab some next time I'm there for sure.
I've been a fan of Golden for a while now. I haven't used their High Flow line, but the Fluid line is great for layer painting, and 1:1 with their airbrush medium it sprays like a dream. Fluid titanium white is beautifully smooth and extremely white.
Thanks for the insight. I was wondering how the Fluid range's finish holds up when applied to a miniature. Is it still nice and matte? The sample swatches on the bottles are sometimes too thick to accurately judge.
@@DaveFallows I'd say it's more satin than Vallejo, but not glossy. I pretty much always matte coat my minis so I have never worried too much about it.
Wow! I am probably going to throw out the rest of my crappy paint (already threw out all the GW/Citadel paints as they dried up) and buy Golden. I love how intense they look. I love how you can see if they are transparent or opaque too, very nice!
I have had my eye on the paints since you did the shadow stalkers with the fluorescent weapons. Now it's just to limit which to get. 🙏
1:08 saving for later when I need the reminder...
Awesome 😊🤟🏻
I imagine Marco getting strange looks when he is in art shops, fondling the paint samples on the outside of the bottle. Thank you for such an informative video.
I haven't tried the Hi-flow line by Golden but I have used their other products. My favorite red acrylic of any line is Napthol Red Light. If you are a Blood Angels player I urge you to give it a try for the base color over using Citadel or Vallejo paints. It's a very vibrant red, VERY vibrant. My favorite Red of all Red's I've used over the years.
Nice, just got my full Scale75 range... xD But I´m very happy with those, especially for glazing. I love them.
After you showed the Aggaros Dunes to Sienna comparison i realized we need a Contrast to normal pigments compatibility chart, like "X is so and so pigment", or "Y is 50/50 this and that", just the idea of being able to at least somewhat matching the Contrast colors would be valuable
Thanks for the video Marco. I would be interested on other Golden brand ranges tests, like Fluid, SoFlat and Heavy Body
Marco with a new technical/theoretical video.
Me as a german: Oh yes! Fill me up with that good stuff.
I have watched this video many times already. As a veteran is the hobby, your way of painting opened eyes. I tried so many different brands, even outside the hobby, but I was sceptical with inks. Thanks to your videos, I gave a new try to inks, and I felt in love!
As these paints are quite expensive, any recommendation of 5-10 paints to start with?
Have a lovely Xmas
Very informative video. I wonder if they would also work for simple layering. Slightly transparent but well pigmented should be a good set of attributes for that.
Your DAY job? You don't do this full time? How is that possible?! You're so talented.
Great as always ! I love the nerding out on technical stuff a lot while watching your videos ! Have you had any chance to test Schmincke Artist color and especially their aero
color range ?
Thanks man!!! I had the chance to try only few tubes of the artist line but I really like them, especially the super brilliant Titanium White. They was extremely rare in Italy and quite difficult to find here in Ireland (but I found a good source of Schmincke oil paints!)
Hello Marco !
Thanks for another great video!! i wanted to experiment with this line, now i know more about it. About washes, i still feel that they are kind of a mystery to me, as if i compare premade washes like agrax earthshade, ink or diluted paint, they all stain the mini, and would love if you do a washes video, detailing this technique and different paints or products for using it. As far as i see, the best are the oil paints, but they leave a kind of greasy finish to the mini, although the good part is that it can be cleaned even if its greasy. Please do a washes video :)
thank you as always for wasting so much expensive paint just to educate us!
Hahahaha I love to spread paint! The videos give me the perfect excuse 😂
Marco, have you painted much in the 10-15mm scale? If so, would you happen to have some tips and tricks that are more specifc to that scale than the 28mm+ scales? Thank you for all your work good sir!
An april fool's day video from NJM where Marco presents complete nonsense with the same level of ernest and editing quality would be hilarious
It's officially in the to do list now!!! 😁
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM every miniature painter needs a size 30 kolinsky brush, as well as blow pens
there was an old vid on here where a guy built a model with elmers and washed it in olive oil etc. it was hilarious but ive never been able to find it again.
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM You could make it in the style of Terrible Writing Advice. It's examples of what NOT to do presented as being earnest advice.
Thicken your paints!
I will admit you’ve expanded on the general list of supplies most introductions to miniatures have. I haven’t been in the hobby even a year now and love being able to break out of the box, especially coming from a more illustrative background. Love your videos!
On a different, have you used or looked into using Warcolours paint? It’s handmade and gel based. It can be thinned down a crazy amount and maintain the pigmentation. They have a good mix of lines :) I’d love to know what you think about them!
When compared to GW paints, most paints don't look as expensive anymore. I'll give my new paints some love first before trying these out, but they look fun to work with. Also love when the paints are called by what's inside, instead of some copyrightable name.
And a lot of artist grade paints can have more things added to them to get even more value. I've had no problem mixing high flow with medium(s), cutting the amount of paint I use in half while maintaining good coverage and opacity.
Hmm, I might need to see if I can find some of those paints to test out...
It seems I haven't been getting notifications since you came back a month ago :O I have some catching up to do today ha
Oh boy! Here I go buying paints again!
Great review! Turns out Titan Buff is a dead match for GW Wraithbone -- perfect if you want a nice zenithal or if you're looking to an alternative to the expensive GW Primer. Gray Seer is 40 Neutral Gray 5 / 60 Titan White.
Wish I knew about these before buying a bunch of hobby paints. I have a few to round out some colors but this def would been a better way to go than citadel...we get so pigeon holed in this hobby!
Lush video. I've got some of these too, love hansa yellow and quinacridone red with a drop of Matt varnish in them. I use the cerulean blue a fair bit too, but it's fragile and chips easily if you're oil washing. the paint I'm going to run out of first is the transparent red oxide. It's my go to for making washes for 6mm Ork tanks. Red oxide and glaze medium and it clings in all the right places and makes really greasy grubby gubbins.
Awesome!!! Now I can't wait to try your red oxide/medium trick!!!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM it's perfect for lots of tiny tanks quickly. Would love to see where/how you'd push the effect though!
WOW - I had no idea these cheap paints were so good!
They aren't cheap for artist acrylics it's just we are used to overpaying for GW stuff. They are actually on the expensive side.
I've always liked Golden's heavy body acrylics, but I didn't even know about these.
Very interesting video since you so rarely see anyone mention using actual artist paints for miniatures and you typically hear that artist paints aren't as good as "special" miniature paints like GW or Vallejo. Like the contrast paints are touted as being revolutionary but I'm pretty sure something like the hi-flow you showed or some other artist paint is the same thing.
Thanks!!! So true... and ps: Contrast paints are really just inks and mat medium 😉
Another great video! I notice you use a lot of liquitex stuff, inks and heavy bodies mainly, I was wondering have you tried their standard acrylics on minis? And if so, what was the standard? Thanks for everything pal!
those Golden paints are harder to get in Spain, a few art shops in Madrid stock them, I think they're based in the U.S. But their acrylics are great, they have a few great yellows.
A few years back, Chris Flodberg, an uber modeler from the demanding Model Warship community, and a professional painter, recommended using Golden High Flow for airbrushing. I tried it. They're terrific - the best water based acrylics available. And, because they have the very powerful "mixing colors" (like phtalo blue, green shade) you can fix up a good match for any color - I think it's fun. Great paint, low price. Try this stuff. (If you want something thicker, Golden makes "Fluid Acrylics" which are a lot like Vallejo Model Color in thickness - but better paints. I like them for hand painting.) There are also a billion "mediums" to use for special effects - check Glazing Medium for fine color shading.
How is the finish on the Fluid Acrylics? Are they very glossy? I have the High Flow transparent set, and it seems to be super glossy compared to the Vallejo finish that I'm used to. But maybe the Fluid or the opaque versions of High Flow are more matte?
You can kind of answer you own question. Fluid Acrylics are thicker - a lot like model color. None of these colors are matte - I'd say satin. Fluid Acrylics are like High Flow in the sense that you can see how opaque the paint is by looking at the sample on the label. Fluid Acrylics airbrush nicely if you use Airbrush Medium.
Any chance you will do some kind of tutorial/ paint guide to working with fluroecent/ neon colors for miniatures? I always love how people are able to incorporate such intense vibrant colors into painting it never seems to work out when I do it lol!!!
Great review/tutorial! It was very informative and entertaining!
I have some of the GOLDEN highflown paints (only fluorescents though).
I have been contemplating trying the GOLDEN Fluid Acrylics Line as well. What is your take on the Fluid Acrylics line?
Now i can see the videos with spanish subtitles!!! Thanks god!!!
Well I just spent way too much money on Golden. Thanks Marco!
Great video @MarcoFrisoniNJM I was wondering, if you were buying a limited range of Golden High flow, would you choose to get a few opaque colours and supplement with Liquitex inks or use the more transparent High flow versions?
Another fantastic video, Marco, thanks!! I have the transparent High Flow set, and have used it some. It seemed like it is really glossy, which aggravates me when the rest of my paints are matte. Are the opaque paints more matte in general?
Also, I have never used Kimera or Scale75, but the Liquitex Gouache and Golden colors seem similar in their versatility. How do you think they all compare to each other for miniature painting? Do you like the High Flow more than the Gouache?
never tried these, but I have used golden acrylic liquid acrylics in a snap cap bottles for Airbrushing, a little thicker tho... needed thinning.
Yep, the liquid line is more in range of consistency of our usual paints
well i love to glaze!!! so i guess I'm going to be investing into another line of paints!! LOL i only have 550 pots now...why not add a few more?? thank you for letting us know about these paints I will for sure try them out asap
😂😂😂 If you really like glazes start making experiments with few basic tones from the transparent block 😉
Why can't I like this video twice?
😊😘
Hey Marco! I love your work. Do you know how Liquitex soft body paints compare to these golden hi-flow?
Hi! Liquitex soft body are more in the consistency range of Kimera, acrylic gouache, Golden Fluid line or a good pot of Scalecolor
Marco - your next challenge should be to incorporate all the Golden acrylic mediums into miniature painting!?
Oh no, please don't give me excuses to look for more paints :(
Jokes aside, I'd love to see you work with Maimeri Polycolor -- the vinyl based paints. They're reasonably cheap at their larger size (5-6 euro for 140ml), very robust, very matte, they spread ultra thin. I'm getting very good results with them -- even better than with the allegedly superior Brera -- and I'm pretty sure I have no idea what I'm doing. Only drawbacks are that they went for opacity at the cost of adding white to a lot of tones... And the vases are a bit of a bitch to store!
I love Maimeri paints, their red tones in particular! I never found them here in Ireland... I need to ask my parents to send some jars 😁
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM i prezzi più bassi che ho trovato sui Maimeri sono sui siti Artecreo ed Antichità Belsito. Lì arrivi a cifre decenti (antichità belsito ha anche gli inchiostri FW a 4 euro -- parentesi, appartenente la Maimeri ha conprato la Daler Rowney, e fa i colori ad olio marca Ferrario nei loro stabilimenti...), nei negozi fisici ti sparano ancora numeri da capogiro. Non ho la minima idea se spediscano in Irlanda.
Se serve un pied a terre, fai pure un fischio.
Apologies if I missed where you gave an answer but would you suggest these over, in supplement too, or as an alternative for your typical artist ink. I can't get a whole lot of paint so I'm curious if you would recommend golden high flow vs artists ink vs hobby branded ink (like scale75 inktensity). Or if I miss understand their use and they're generally two different things. My understanding high flow's are like more workable or brushable inks. Also want to say thanks for the great resources you offer on your channel, truly invaluable.
Thank you for the video (very instructive as usual) ! A wise man said in this video « you can fully live this hobby at his highest with only 10 colors and a brush ». What 10 (or so) Colors from this range do you recommend ?
are there any plans to do models with large flat surfaces like tanks, I really struggle and end up with ether a flat boring colour or just feathering with the airbrush
I missed the derpy thumbnails
This is incredible!
So if one was willing to forego the wrath of one’s wife and buy a few of these for a C-M-Y palette, which colours would you suggest?
Light fasteness... Tell me about it! My dark elves from 20 years ago were painted with my first attempts at wet blending with blues and purples... Beautiful. Now they're just a very very dark purple over black primer. Sad. Now I learned that varnishing helps though
Another great vid Marco. Are you getting the Golden acrylics in Ireland and if so, where?!
Thanks!!! Yes, I bought them from Evans Art Supplies before the lockdown. They had some problems restoking before Christmas and I didn't find most of the light yellows and few other tones but usually they have most of the Golden lines and products
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM fantastic!! Cheers Marco. I know Evans - will be sure to check them out when (allowed) up in Dublin next !
