#kingdomdeath #limitedpalette #colortheory - บันเทิง
The more I watch your videos, Marco, the more I learn about the idea of color theory and how to mix my colors better, and I'm enjoying the process of learning from a wizard like yourself!
Man, the difference between an actual artist and dabblers like us...
😍😘
yes he is a wizard and the challenge is surprisingly accessible too... gonna try this today
So fascinated by how you ground your miniature painting in traditional colour theory and also how you use such a wide range of colours rather than standard miniature colours.
Excellent lesson. Always you teach fishing vs give a fish
every time i'm excited about what you paint with the brush in such a short time. just wow!
I've been painting for 3 years and I have learned more watching your videos than I did in nearly all the art classes I took in college!
Definately.
I got a full scholarship for fine arts, and I AGREE!
I think it’s because he uses a finite direction at each lesson. And doesn’t get off task to the point of losing time. It’s small funny stuff or side notes and doesn’t get off task. And he very much simplifies the information for easy absorbing on our parts. I do not have any actual education in art but am able to follow along and go back to previous work to make sense of what he’s doing currently. Awesome stuff!!!!
Genuinely one of the best teacher I have had in any subject matter
I can not agree more with you
3 colors...man oh man that looks great!
These limited palette videos are my favourite, my mind is always completely blown by the quality of the final result, particularly when you do them so fast.
"Overthinking & analysis paralysis" Ka-pow! Ergh.... ya got me..... **
😂😂😂😂😂
I am coming back to your Colour Theries series, and one thing that really helps is to see your palette while you are painting - the mixing, how the colors evolve. Of course, your commentary is priceless, too.
😊😁😊😘
:) "The beauty of using your own washes is that you have full control of them." HAH, I don't even have full control of my brush! But I've learned and improved so much from this channel that it is far and away my most awaited one to watch for each new release.
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Kieran Paxton Instablaster =)
@Dash Hassan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dash Hassan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Kieran Paxton you are welcome :D
Is the coffee really unneeded? Lol. Awesome. I have washed models in coffee by accident. Those salamanders were never the same again. Lol
Absolutely gorgeous work. My only complaint is stating that the coffee is optional, while it is most certainly a vital step in the process.
If you really think about it it's like painting watercolour on miniatures. It's such an interesting way of approaching it.
Oh yeah, absolutely! And if you want to bring it to the extreme you can close the gap even more using acrylic gouache!
I’ve been an army painter for 35 years. I love your videos and I watch for the speed hints how to get a nice results faster than you should. I am always painting 10- 50 models in an assembly line.
Every single time I watch your channel I am simply blown away with you painting skills. I am pretty new to the hobby and I can tell just how practiced you are. Please never stop making content!
Marco! Thanks for one more incredible lesson! You truly are one of the best teachers our community has, if not THE best!
I like this series a lot. Even when it can get frustrating cause of not being able to fall back to known solutions.
You should play around with that zorn pallet. Help you get more comfortable with mixing colors
Another fantastic video! Marco's a real hero!
Well, if I learnt just one thing from this video it's that I don't use anywhere enough water on my wet palette!
But I learnt more! Going to try out this limited palette style. Lovely
Coffee pallete is the best.
I still love your gloomy brick photo background. I loved that project. Thanks for this video, I liked the emphasis on brushstrokes in particular for this project.
Can’t get enough of your limited palette videos, thanks for sharing! Really gets down to the fundamentals.
Yay ! Great video !
You've now earned the name "the Professor" in my mind !
Thanks for the amount of effort you put in to inspire others !
It blows me away that you did that in 3 hrs. I get excited every time I see a new video of yours...it's like getting a masterclass in painting in 20min. :)
The "1" downvote is a guy with already 200 commercial pots of differents colors and brands and an order of 200 more waiting on his Amazon shopping cart >
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 L O L !!!!
Stop looking in my amazon cart bro
You are really the next level Marco! Always overcoming the expectations and destroying all the old school thinking!! Fantastic video, inspiring and motivating!!
Awesome!
I learned a lot from this video. And I will try this approach between projects or if I need a playful break during a long project.
Your painting skills allow for the bright pink fur to still look like fur texture. For an amateur like me, it would come across as flamingo feathers. Good work!
Fantastic!!!!👍👍👍👍
I really enjoyed your discussion about brushstrokes. Using the brush differently on different materials is enough to differentiate them.
Beautiful! Well done!
So this inspired me to try painting with just the Kimera Colours, limited time, and force myself to learn some colour mixing. And oh boy do I need more practice...
Superb. As always.
Kingdom Death minis are the exact aesthetic I was looking for. Gonna pick some up for myself.
These are my favorite videos of yours, Marco. Thank you!
I always learn so much , thank you Marco 👍
this is incredible because it shows off you understanding of colors and how you go about mixing them for whatever you want/need for the model. It's so good!
Nicely done as always dude!
That was awesome!
great video, thanks for posting!
You are awesome as always, bro! I'm using your metallic gold instructions for my custodes right now.
It´s incredible how I learn with your videos!
I love to watch you paint. Your understanding of the medium is really enjoyable to see.
Coffee added so much to my process. Thank you!
I love your style, and the thorough explanation of the process and thought behing each step!
Fantastico maestro! Love these 3 colour challenges - really gets the inspiration flowing. Grazie mille Marco
Impressive work! Now I want to give a try to this challenge.
Always a good new to see your videos pop on the screen
I like this limited pallette a lot. Great vid, I look forward to giving it a go.
Marco, i love these limited pallet video's. I know you have studied Gurney's Color & Light book and apply a lot of stuff that is in there:-) Could you do a gammut mapping / limited pallet exercise in the future? Working from primary colors to the extreme ends of the chosen gammut map etc... I am going to try that myself this week. Keep up your great work!
You painted this gorgeously. Plus, you teach how to do it! Thanks for your videos and I'll try one of your techniques in my Ynnari someday! (soon)
Aha, now I get a grasp on how you do your outstanding skintones!
Great video Marco!
i just used my first oil washes on some small terrain i made and they look fantastic, it really helped me understand the dilution i needed to get the result i was looking for, i can't wait for the few things i need to start assembling and painting my first miniatures. Thank you for all the inspiration and information i have so many ideas i want to try.
Marco, tu sei una luce nell'oscurità, sei un pittore straordinario, non solo a livello di miniature, hai una comprensione di tutti i concetti di texture e materiali diversi, e di come renderli nella pittura delle miniature, che in pochi al mondo posseggono, sei bravissimo a spiegare tutti questi concetti al pubblico, e come se non bastasse sei anche simpatico come pochi :)
It is stunning how much the gray reads as blue. Did you shade it with an orangey brown?
Every one of your videos feels like attending a master class in colour theory rather than a “let’s paint this mini” or “let’s learn this brush technique” tutorial, and I love your approach to video making.
Congrats and thank you very much for the amazing content Marco!
Those paints are pure butter.. Great vid, keep 'em coming! You're work is really unique and a fantastic addition to the hobby world.
Amazingly done, I feel I learned so much just by watching you work and giving us your thoughts.
Do you have a video on how you highlight different textures? For example, in the vid, you were talking how you do leather differently to the feathers and clothes, and how you do long strokes for the flowing fabric. I think I would enjoy watching a deeper dive through that, but regardless, I think I'd enjoy you covering pretty much any topic!
Again, thank you for your work!
Legendary mad lad!
Man, I love Kingdom Death model so much but the price of them just makes me cry every time I go to their website.
When you mentioned you're taking inspiration from the Dark Souls and Sekiro artstyle for this I knew I was going to enjoy this video! I'd love for you to do a video on painting something that would look great and match the Bloodborne style so much!
Eye-opening stuff!
Great stuff as usual friend 👏 waiting on my heavy body from S75
I'd love to see you paint some more KD models with strong contrasting light sources. The Butcher, Watcher, or Gold Smoke Knight with OSL would be really sweet.
Hey Marco - firstly thanks for your channel - I've learned a lot from you .. can you post again the ratios for your zenithal (undercoat) shading .. I did see you mention it in one of your vids somewhere - but I cannot find it again .. Molotow black and white ink - but I think you add a little flow improver? .. thanks again for the channel.
Really like your style, especially for kingdom death characters! Could you please show your worklplace? Im very interested how it looks and how you organised it.
very interesting
Great video! When you do these three hour challenges do you use anything to dry the paint faster? Hair dryer, heat gun, or something else?
Love the vids (just bought my first airbrush and compressor after watching your airbrush video series).
Q. When painting skin (or other areas) would you mostly paint the light tones first and then work towards the darker shadows (like the skin in this vid)?
My basic painting background is from 25 years ago where GW tutorials tended to start with the dark shades and work up to a highlight.
Dark Souls is my favorite video game franchise of all time, followed closely by Mass Effect (except for Andromeda, which I have yet to play). Bought Dark Souls I on Xbox 360 for $5 and put in about 2,000 hours into the single player and multiplayer. A year and a half later Dark Souls II was released, and although I did not preorder it, I bought it on day one, played a few hours, quit and returned two years later to 100% it (offline). Two years ago I bought Scholar of the First Sin on PC, and wow, so much better and more playable. Looking forward to Elden Ring!!!
It would be interesting to see how would you approach Night Lords and Fire lords. On the latter it would be interesting to see not the lame scheme they have in the codex but something that looks like flames on the armor. At least this is what I am going to do with SM part of the Recruit Box that I bought solely for the necron warriors.
"try new, strange things." *KINKY*
hey man, don't let anyone yuck your yum
taking notes..."coffee optional"
...got it. :-)
lol
Please when the time comes and you paint the Scions of Flame, give them an indestructible lava/fire base that i can take inspiration from.
😁😁😁 Absolutely 😁😁😁
Do you do anything to deal with the glossiness of glaze medium?
I love the idea of mixing colours, but thinking that will become more difficult when painting a full army over time and having to recreate the colours many weeks/months later. Any techniques for that? You're painting techniques are incredible!
Keep the wet palette top sheets for reference - job done!
Great video! This works like a great exercise for single miniatures, how do we apply the same concepts to a large unit of models or a whole army that is painted overtime? Im afraid of doing something like this and having the colors drifting and therefore the cohesivness going out the window. Examples would be space marines or necron's that don't necessarily have much variation from model to model.
I'd recommend just keeping the color pallet and not worry about variation too much. Real world military units often have mismatched uniforms, colors, etc. simply due to the conditions of the wearer. Just look at this picture from Desert Storm:
pbs.twimg.com/media/EEjle9sUwAA1mk5.png
The two guys on the far right have more green in their uniforms. The guy on the left has a green jacket that's a completely different hue than anything else in that picture. They all have different levels and shades of brown in their helmets, while practically every holster, strap, satchel, and canteen is a different color on each person. About the only thing that matches is their boots!
Then you look at stuff like this image of German WW2 Heer uniforms:
pbs.twimg.com/media/EISjI-YXYAE5C1u.jpg
....where there's a whole range of colors for the same uniform that changed depending on wear/tear, when it was made, which factory, and what materials were available.
I would recommend just focusing on being consistent with how you mix paint and accept there's going to be subtle variations in uniforms made years, decades, centuries, or even millennia apart from across the galaxy.
Pre-mixing and bottling up mixes you like (and writing down the rough recipe) is one way. I like to use artist's inks airbrushed over a zenithal highlight as a basecoat for pretty much any army, and these mixes are easy to record recipes for because they have a pipette in the bottle an you can measure the proportions of your mixes in 'drops'.
If I'm painting a coherent unit of fifteen or twenty troops for the table then the rich tones and transitions from all that glazing lining and dotting get cut back compared with Marco's subject. The colour theory is the same though and I choose two or three prominent elements, a cloak, the shield and a helmet and crest for instance and those I hit with texturing dots and strokes I learned from Marco to invest the time on prominent features that repay the time. It ties the unit together rather than visually drawing them apart. That economy means that I get each figure done a lot quicker so palette drift is lessened as an issue. I also keep each palette and put them under a glass sheet (happens to be my oils palette) that I tend to work above, so each time I recreate a progression of tones to do a new "batch" I make it up just the same as the reference (god what a mess) top sheet under the glass. I've especially got a book of ex-palette sheets of successful fleshtone progressions I keep stapled together in my top drawer. The wife calls it my rustly deadskins.
damn - i could never do this. I don't drink coffee!
I love homework!
What pigments/colours would you recommend for starting with oil paints? (I know that this is an acrylic paint video :D) I can't decide which colours to pick as my primary palette. I was thinking about Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. I think it's a nice start, but can't decide on pigments. Do you have any tips? Thanks!
Great final effect! It really reminds me of the Kingdom Death art style!
🎃👍 Cool
Spectacular as always Marco
Question - the zenithal is with the White Ink? I actually got some based on your use, but for some reason it seems a little grainy in the bottle. When sprayed it has a slight grainiess on the model, more like a dusting than paint. Am I doing something incorrect with the ink?
Thanks a million!!! Yes, the zenithal is made with the usual white ink over black primer. Sadly the grains inside the pot are a sign that's an old bottle that the shop kept sitting on the shelf for too long and probably exposed to extreme temperatures. You can try to filter the paint to take off the solid part. I had to do the same with a cerulean blue few days ago and I used one of the filters I use for 3d printing resin to catch even the smallest grains
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM the hero we need, that makes total sense about the ink. Thanks so much..... now to find a filter.
Have you ever thought about doing a trouble shooting video about airbrushing, and how to solve them?
I'm sure with all your experience you must have seen pretty much all the issues.
e.g. I'm had some trouble trying to get a smooth finish with the airbrush, but from what I could find this appears that I might need to thin with a thinner rather than water, and that I possibly am spraying from too far away.
Would be a pretty excellent coming from you, given the quality of your videos, and there really isn't any videos about it. Just info on forums
Was the coffee an Umber or Sienna grind?
Wonderful work, how long was the complete time of this?
Thanks a million!!! It was around the three hours
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Tip top!
Wow only 3hrs... I would have been in that for 8.. slow in my old age
how does the drying time of paints like scale 75/kimera compare to GW/vallejo paints?
They are water based acrylics so they all dry in a matter of seconds!
I'm coming to like limited palette painting. The limitations enhance creativity and you learn a lot about your paints in a way that it's hard to otherwise do. Nice effect here - crisp painting with excellent color choices.
I recently ran across a TH-cam video on painting a portrait of Bruce Willis in secondaries:
th-cam.com/video/hM2ABZ6FDHI/w-d-xo.html
IMO, it's worth a look.
If it were me, I'd probably use Vat Orange (or Cadmium Orange), Permanent Green (or Phthalo Green), Dioxazine Purple, either Zinc or Titanium White (each has advantages), and Bone Black (because it doesn't kill color as quickly as Carbon Black).
And I'd be using artists' colors (Liquitex, Golden, Winsor & Newton, or whoever) rather than something from a miniatures company. There's nothing wrong with miniatures paints for what they are, but for this exercise I want single pigment colors with very high pigment loads, and artists' paints provide that at a fair price and as acrylics, oils, gouache, or whatever medium I prefer.
Which model is this?
How is that figure named?
Why do you keep taunting us with amazing Kingdom Death minis? q_q
The Black Friday sale is coming up and I still can't justify the few hundred dollars lol
Gozu work!
Ti prego ricordati i sottotitoli in italiano !!! Pls
Marco scusami se ti tormento con sta cosa ma credimi sto cercando di imparare da te ma mi resta davvero difficile !! Ma hai anche altre piattaforme dove seguirti ?
Everytime Kingdom Death comes up I impulse buy one of their newest miniatures.
Please send help.
