Am I the only one who has watched this video 10+ times???? There is so much content in this one video that can apply to painting different miniatures.
The most interesting thing about GWs Contrast line has been it's use for everything except speed painting.
Totally agree!!!
This is so true!
So so true!
Haha I insta smile and Like, just hearing your "HELLOOOOO GUYS Marco here, and today..." :-D
😁😘
Ciao Marco, could you please consider a „two face“ bust? One side with ALL the layers you usually do - the layers that are surprising anyone and only makes sense for you (in the beginning) Side two should be a „regular painted“ face with just base, highlights and shadows. I would really like to see what all the additional steps do at the end. So a regular/Marco style hybrid😀
Super inspiring video, thanks Marco! One video suggestion: I'd love to see you paint a Battlemech/Mecha once. 😊
Well ladies and gentlemen there we have it. The best miniature painting video on TH-cam.
Inspiring as usual mate. Thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm.
superb painting !!!
I hope you will paint soon some Young Miniatures bust !
A topic I would like to see covered: Vehicles! Tanks and dreadnoughts and the like, the weathering and such. But not just on Imperial Guard style tanks also the rounder smoother eldar too.
This would be my dream
You should do a video where you go in depth on an actual verdaccio underpainting on a miniature 😊 There’s nothing like that on TH-cam at the moment and anything explained by you is legitimately useful and awesome 😁
I'm keeping it for the new wave of oil painting video 😉😁😉!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM can’t wait my man! Inspiring as always 😁👍
Impressive, most impressive. I've seen very good videos on how to build a history on a figure/model, but your way of doing it from the painting to the narrative, the whole process is to me the best of all. Thanks a lot for this excelent series of videos, as well as fot rhe previous about painting realistic eyes, the color wheel and the wet pallete
"Mr Frisoni, how do you plaid for the painting of this jacket?
"Quilty!
An awesome work as always! And still new things to try on my minis. Thank you.
L😂😂😂😂😂😂O😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂L!!!
woah dude, sooo much energy...
Awesome work !
I have followed many top painters on Patreon and TH-cam and for me, you are definitely the best teacher !
One can be the best painter in the world but it's an another story for teaching.
Thank you for your hard work !
I would like to see how you tackle a woman bust with skin + armor.
Some insights on carnation : caucasian, african, asian...
Sir, your videos are great, but your introductions....just the best thing on youtube. It always makes me so happy that you are here!
Thank you, Marco. Please keep up the intermediate/advanced vids coming! They are sorely needed and VERY appreciated.
Could you make a video about cutting corners? For example when batch painting, how to optimize the process to achieve the best results in the time frame. Like best techniques for leather, metal, etc.
But I like doing the glazing steps with a brush! 😭😪
Great video! I'm really glad you brought up incorporating patterns into the painting steps. Too often you see people do all this great work on a mini, then they go and paint camouflage or freehand symbols over it and it looks unnatural. One thing I'd like to see is more art history in relation to mini painting. You're really knowledgeable in this area and I don't think it gets brought up enough. I'd love to see some Frank Frazetta style miniature painting!
I’m the most interested in high speed above average quality army painting.
I remember when I got back into the hobby 4 months ago, the clerk at the GW store asked me if I wanted to buy some contrast paints:
-Never heard of them, what are they for?
-They're great for easy, beginner friendly speed painting!
-Nah, I want to take my time with my miniatures, no thanks.
Me after watching Marco Frisoni:
-I need contrast paints to achieve specific textures and complex modulations over air-brushed value sketches!!!😂
Thanks a lot Marco, you're doing an amazing job showcasing the true potential of each tool we have in miniature painting!
As to what subject for the video? You're the Apple of miniature painting, we never knew we needed your new technique/tool in our lives until your next video!
I’m experimenting using a bottle of GW contrast medium with some transparent paints to save buying a host of different GW pots.
😂😂😂😂😂 Awesome!!!
You can save even more using any glaze medium or thinning down any mat medium!
The real verdaccio pronunce!! Ce piace verdaccio!!
Holy shit, I have been watching a lot of videos on bust painting recently. This is a quarter of the length of most and I got more out of it than any of them.
Oh my god, so much technique, so much information, packed so well paced, this video is justperfect
Spectacular Marco, as always I learn more from your videos.
Something I've noticed more on this video that even others, is the way you use the brush for highlighting. Being super accurate but also random; mixing between a stroke and stippling - really seems to give you a more realistic look, simulating the random points of light that occur on natural objects.
I think it would be very interesting for a video to hear your thoughts around use of the brush, where you're thinking of placing highlights etc,
Cheers mate
Thanks a million! You totally got the point; a bit or randomness is natural and integral part of the behaviour of the airbrush (that's why in 2D illustration is so great in creating photorealistic textures and effects) so instead of fighting it we should embrace and use it...
Awesome video, finally joined the patreon. Thanks for keeping it accessable.
Thanks a million for your support!!! Super appreciated
I really love these “down the rabbit hole” kind of videos, this in particular goes straight to my personal top 3, as always GREAT job Marco! You have such an AMAZING TALENT for teaching a rich process in a very easy way to understand and enjoy it !! Keep going 💪🏻
Wow, that filter of yellow and blue really blew me away. Made a big difference. Gonna try me some of that. Thanks 🤟🏼
Awesome advices here !
I would love to see a masterclass of female skins :)
Grandissimo Marco!
As always, love your work! I have developed so much this last year since I started following your channel.
Would love to see some blueisch cold moonlight and what to think about when painting cold lighting.
Suggestion, vampire in a dark silent wood lit from a top angle.
Really inspiring way to paint. Also drives the urge to buy more colors and start bust painting
Hey Marco! Great video, I love the flow of your style of painting and explaining and enjoy seeing it every time.
I miss the use of oil paints lately, could you sneak them back into the videos?
My request is totally independent from the fact that I bought the big winsor & newton oil paint set just because of your early videos xDDD
Gosh darn Marco, watching your channel is like getting an art degree with a specialisation into miniature painting. Your content is so top notch and your knowledge is soo massive. Thanks for all the work you put out there and keep rocking it! Also I am totally jealous of your palette management skills, you keep it so clean and nice, while with just 3 colours I will fill an entire palette with big spread out paint, teach me your ways!
30 hours! Wow! I was sure you’d say 80. But then again it took you 4 hours for the white scar so I’m not surprised.
You asked for video suggestions; as a beginner who’s struggling to get his head around this art form, I’d love a video on some exercises or techniques that can help improve brush control. Something more than just “paint more minis”. Just my 2c worth.
Great work as always, Marco. Very inspiring.
I think he said 13...
The pronunciation betrayed me, it took me 13 hours 😅.
Cool idea, thank you for the feedback!
Waiting for the video: "paint more minis" is not a bad suggestions but I have an upgrade that I give as homework to my students. To learn a new method or improve brush control paint something using only one main technique; this way you are obliged to bring that single technique to its maximum potential and all your efforts converge in a single method
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM thank you Marco - brush control is probably my number one issue!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM 😳 13? Good googoolie moogoolie! When you say “upgrade” do you mean on Patreon?
@@Ajax-wo3gt an upgrade to the "paint more minis" suggestion!
Bravo Marco, i miei complimenti
Very, very interesting look, looks in one breath. A lot of useful information. The bust itself is beyond praise👍 👍 👍 Need more of these videos!!!
Incredible work, love your channel!
I'm still waiting on the Splintered Fang speed paint, especially considering it was the warband I picked up first.
Another amazing video by the best content creator in this mini painting world of ours! Great job, again!
😊😍😘
Thanks so much for your great content.
Great video, Marco!
Wonderful lights Marco! You keep me painting!
Yes! I have been waiting for this video all week, i wish i could like this video more than once!
Just wow, amazing work. Think it's time for another oil video.
Thanks!!! 😁 I'm definitely in the mood for oils these days, so great timing 😁
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Thanks to you I've been using them more and more. Love them for washes but would love to just use them, the subtractive mindset is hard to grasp for me.
Amazing work! Its always fascinating to hear how you logically come about your color choices. Its VERY helpful to hear the classical origins of the techniques! Perhaps a video where you take a master's painting technique from a specific painting after a visit to a museum, and then apply it to a model. I always wondered how advanced painters decide to put colors in locations that don't initially make sense, but as a whole it works in the end.
Love it!
Awesome work
Absolutly amazing - as always !
😊🙏😊
Caro Marco, quando fai collegamenti con le tecniche di pittura dei grandi maestri del passato mi fai volare! complimenti per la qualità delle informazioni che ci dai ogni settimana!
Ciao!!! Hahahaha grazie mille ;)!!!
This is just so cool. And I love that it is an overview of the process as a whole whilst still going into details and methods. Thank you!
Would you be able to do a video with your pre existing footage going into detail on the ZORN process within his face. It looks amazing!
Very interesting to see your process on a more advanced topic. Would love to see your thoughts on something like a creature caster mini!
Superb! I've never painted a bust before, but I'm going to give it a shot now as (a) it looks like great fun and (b) it looks like a really useful way to get practice at techniques like OSL. As always, thanks for the great videos!
The verdaccio bit is EXTREMELY interesting, thanks for sharing!
You might mean Carbon black+Yellow Offre, because Mars Black is very brown (as opposed to Carbon Black, which is slightly blue). Feel free to correct me, and sorry for being pedantic.
Colors I've seen labeled "verdaccio" always included some green. Usually, Chrome Oxide rather than Pthalo.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
If you’re taking video ideas, I’d really like to see how to paint models that gives a nighttime feel with OSL on some details. I have an army I want to paint this way but it’s intimidating without any guidance. I’m worried the models will just look dark, I really want to capture the strong moonlight and the glow of coloured lights in the relative dark.
I just can’t get it right though
Really love the content
Check out his video on the warhammer war band where he did moonlight from above and fire from below. I tried it out on some mythic battles fire dudes and it looks great. Airbrush is a necessity for speed and smoothness though.
Great video. I’d love to see more on how you do the face and tones. It’d work well with your old video on flesh tones, but using plaguebearer and verdaccio blew my mind in this.
This is just amazing!''
thank you
Another awesome video! I'd love to see a video on speed painting armies in the most cost effective manner, i.e. no airbrush, only a couple brushes and paint colors. Just an idea :) Keep up the great content!
Awesome video as always Marco. I'd love a more in depth look on versaccio and maybe other techniques you use for painting faces at some point
Good job 👍👍
Would love to see more warhammer vids. Great job on this fella. Keeper going.
Ah.... Wow😍
thnx ..great vid ..:)
Hey I noticed Black Magic Craft made a nice comment about you in his last video. Thought I'd pass that along incase you didn't see it 👍👍
Love your work man!!
Thanks a million man, I didn't know!!! I have to thank him immediately 😊
Bro pls post video for air brush painting for statues, how to hold air brush, angle, how to spray without affecting unwanted areas pls do a video...
Thank you from India...
Great Work!
Video idea: how to conceptualize color schemes :)
Eres un genio...bro
😘😘😘
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼
hmmm I may start using inks etc. as an underpaint over a zenithal prime for oil painting minis to save time though I am a little concerned about using heavily thinned oils over them but I shall experiment and see if they hold up without varnish, thanks for the informative video good sir!
Thanks!!! Inks hold well solvents and oil paints when they are perfectly dry but since they are usually applied.in thin layer they are sensible to physical stress and rubbing. You can add a couple of drops of varnish directly in the inks to solve every issue
Hi Marco. This video is simply amazing, I learned SO much. Thanks A LOT! Maybe I have missed something, but please answer - where can we buy this bust it is brilliant ??
Thanks!!! The bust is Radigundus by FeR miniatures in the Forged Monkey subsection (all the production of Raffaele Picca is very different and super fun to paint!)
Hey bud off topic but I am about to get some oil paints and wonder what you think of the colours, I am going to get Abteilung 502 snow white, Burnt and raw umber, Ocher, Black, Intense Blue, magenta, paynes grey and warm red. I was just curious to see if you think I should get different colours or change for a different tone in some of them. Thanks for any help :)
I really love the extra exaggerated shadows during the black and white sketch. What's your recommended method for adding that shading? It doesn't look like you used an airbrush, and it doesn't look like black...
It's just the grey->white modulation over the black primer!
Whic bust it is, guys? Also, this is my second video of youres, but i already love ure content and accent :DD
Thanks a million!!! It's Radigunduns by FeR miniatures, Forged Monkey subsection ;) Last week it was still in stock
Great video. But can you answer this. Is there a difference between matt and glaze medium? I use matt medium for glazing
Thanks!!! From the
chemical point of view they are the same stuff, acrylic paint medium. Usually glazing mediums are just a bit more liquid and fluid. What I used in the video is a mat glaze medium!
Hey Marco!
Do you use kolinsky brushes with contrast paints, or switch to synthetic ones for them?
I've seen in some videos around youtube (specifically Squidmar's), that you should not use kolinsky brushes with washes/contrast paints, for it will kill them too quick, and I cannot remember you mentioning thing about that.
So I'm really interested - do you (& should I) use Kolinsky Sable brushes for washes/contrast paints/acrylic inks/high flow paints? Probably not for washes, but really not sure about other cases. I got my own first set of quality kolinsky brushes not far ago, but have not used them yet, so I'm quite interested :)
Hi! I use my W&N Series 7 for everything 😁. This is just another classic urban myth... It's true that washes and fluid paints naturally tend to flow into the ferrule (drying paint collected where the bristles are tight together is what makes them open), but if you clean and maintain your brushes properly (check my video about brushes 😉) there's absolutely no problem. The only paints that really increase the stress on the bristles (and just a bit) are metallic paints because their pigments are real tiny metal flakes and I still use natural bristles because they are simply better for painting 😁 You can use them even with oils with a bit of care!
Do you think Golden high flow would do the same or similar job as the contrast paints in the early stages? Or does the particular characteristics of contrast assist here?
Also, I LOVE that you bring in fine art techniques like verdaccio into mini painting! Expand that hobby!
I haven't used contrast paints but I do use Golden high flow. You can get the same effects if you have a good underpainting/sketch and add some medium (there's high flow gel mediums from different brands that do this, but Golden makes one specifically for this purpose) or airbrush thinner to thin down the paint. The high flow line has a lot of pigment, so sometimes it can be a bit too opaque if you just slap it on willy-nilly right out of the bottle (which can be useful in its own way). You can also see Marco use gel medium (that clear, translucent, white fluid) which can be used with any acrylic paint to get the same qualities of contrast paint.
The nice thing about contrast paint is that it has all this stuff ready to go right out of the bottle, so you don't have to worry about mixing the right consistency. Personally, I'd say mess around with paint additives even when you're not comfortable with them because it gives you another tool in your tool belt once you step out of your comfort zone. I think a lot of us miniature painters can develop the bad habit of "paint by number" where we act too precise in our work flow. Sometimes, you just have to fuck around and find out.
I personally think any thinned down acrylic paint with a flow improver of any kind will do the work for you buddy.
Yes absolutely, there's nothing you can do with contrast paint that you can't do with anything else.
Rather use liquitex inks anyway, they are better value for money by far.
What a great community 😁!!! I agree with everything said here 😊
Ciao, quando fai le velature per OSL che. aggiungi al colore? Cos’è “glaze” in italiano? Grazie per la risposta e complimenti per il video, strepitoso.
Any chance of a vid comparing some skin tone sets? I have no idea which one to go with.
Scale75 have: "Flesh Paint Set" and "Velvet Skin".
AK Interactive have: "Flesh and Skin Colors" and "Human Flesh Tones".
Vallejo have: "Face Painting Set" and "Fleshtones".
Vallejo also has the 16 bottle "Face and Skin Tones" set. But I think that might be overkill for a noob.
Scroll down in my homepage, I have a video with a ton of information about skin tones 😉 Short answer; the best skin tone is the one you mix by yourself!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I'll check it out. But I'm a noob. I don't have to experience for mix a good skin tone. I'm more looking for a solid starting point.
Do you have any tips for integrating verdaccio underpainting into painting darker skin tones?
It can be used in a darker, more bluish version (like a pale emerald tone) to obtain a similar visual complexity in darker skin tones. Basically you take away the yellow note to maximise the contrast with the warmer tones of the upper layers!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Thank you for the reply. That is really helpful!
Awesome video! Is this bust still for sale somewhere?
Thanks! Oh yeah, it's Radigundus by FeR miniatures, Forged Monkey subsection 😉
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Thanks! Will have a look at them!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Ah out of stock.. :(
@@Greye_Vernados nooooo! It was still there a week ago...
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Your video made it sold out! :P
13:45 wait... what glaze medium are you using? because i thought it typically dries matt
Vallejo's Glaze medium; it's slightly satin but if you use it in large quantities it becomes quite reflective
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM ah ok. thanks!
Did you ever try to use oil paint with airbrush?
Yep! They are good for soft, natural shades and glazes but in general I don't like to spray white spirit
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM ahh yes its true, we need to fin it dawn with white spiri..yah thas nit good idea lol thanks man. Lovebyour Chanel.
I've never heard of Verdaccio before today. what are the resources you use to find stuff like this? Internet searches only tell me so much when I dont know what I'm doing. Artist techniques as a search result didnt really help.
Good old books are the way for this kind of stuff! There's an infinite amount of literature about painting techniques; check your local art shops or bookstores with good art sections 😉
online it is! lol. I'll have to check my public library then.
This is far above my skill level but fun to watch
No don't think like that. That's the thing about Marco - Before i found his channel i watched two kinds of painting videos: ones that i understood the technique, but was simple and unrewarding, and the insanely good painters, who didn't or couldn't convey their skill in a way that made any sense to me. But Marco has been the missing link. All sorts of things that lay under the covers of paint have been made so much more clear. i feel not only as though I can better understand them, but that I try them and in some sense ACHIEVE them. Now im nothing like the level of painter that Marco is, but i honest to goodness feel as though I can digest, try, practice, and (if only a bit at a time) realize some of the techniques he uses. Its like, after year of stalling, i feel momentum building, and really it is Marco's AMAZING explanations that did it.
@@KyleLigon fair enough
Am I due royalties as this model is me?
LOL, for sure!!!
Cool accent. Italian?
Yep! 😊
Ma un video in italiano no? Mortacci di pippo oh...
