This is the video I needed! Great video, informative and thank you for adding the demonstration. It sold me, as I'm looking into getting a bottle of the same medium and want to try Glazing.
I’m honored that you liked the video, it’s been a while since I produced it, so I do apologize for the quality of the video but I do think that the information was needed. I’m so happy that it helped you!
Idk if someone already mentioned this but as of 2023 hobby lobby doesn't do the 40 percent off coupons anymore (which sucks!!!!!!!!) But every two or three weeks they have 40 percent off sales on their modeling and painting stuff so just check their weekly ads for when supplies are on sale. Rip 40% everything coupon, I hope you eventually return like a slasher movies villain....only slashing prices not ppl that is lol
I agree it sucks they don’t do the 40% off coupon. They must have been losing money on the deal. Lol the “cue pon”slasher, a French horror film with English Subtitles.
Fantastic video and job on explaining. My question is sense the medium increases the transperancy while keeping it's properties how is that different from Vallejo thinning medium? The thinning medium as you know doesn't take as long to dry. I also subbed after this! Looking forward to more demos like this
Jeffrey Dempster Differences that I have noticed are that glazes seem to have a bit of a longer drying time, increase the flow of the paint which dries to a nice matte finish. While thinner medium tends to dilute your paint and allows the paint no to lose its stickiness nor it’s consistency. There are times when I have used thinner medium with water to help the flow of drying paint pots. However I use glaze medium to create smooth blends on a model personally. I hope this helps, and welcome to the family!
All I can say is experiment and use what works for you. I'll substitute gaze medium for thinner medium and do some more experimenting in my workflow to see which I like better. I'm in constant state of experimenting and discovering, it's why I'm never bored. Yep I always try to get back to questions asked as soon as I can.
I feel like we are always in a constant experimenting mode trying to find ways to make our minis better. I'll do some test myself I got 12 gem stones to blend on my Skorne unit for Hordes
Thank you, I'm glad that you saw value in this video, it's an old video but I'm glad that it still gets views, it's timeless in that fashion. I appreciate that you took the time to comment. It's always helpful to me when I know if an episode is on target or if my concept for an episode is way off base. If you can, like, share and subscribe if you would like to get more of my content. I hope to put out the best and most useful content I can, while striving to improve the quality of each video.
I wanted to use the Matt version of the medium. For my metallic paints. To try to stop or slow the dry ring pooling I am getting. Because my tap water is hard water. And only seems to make my paints especially the metallics worse. And I try it my Vallejo sliver 70.997 paint. And it works great. It's smoother and flows off the brush better. Only thing it makes it hard to dry brush on black. To get a darker worn steel look. Because how with just a small drop of Matt medium the paint covers so easily. I need to improve my technique still. Good buy. Does what I thought it would maybe even better. It may extend the mileage of my paints. Will see in time.
Matt medium is great! With metallic paint I usually would go with gloss medium to retain the shine of the paint. You are so right, medium in general extends the dry times of paint! Thank you for watching and happy painting!
Great video, thank you. N00b question - what is the difference between Matt Medium and Glaze medium. For example, I have both Vallejo Matt Medium and Vallejo Glaze Medium, but am unsure when to use one over the other. Help?
First off, we are all in various stages of N00b so welcome to the family! Okay, so I use Matt Medium to dull the sheen of paint, for example when I paint with ink (which is glossy) I tend to mix Matt Medium with it. Now, I use Glaze Medium when I want to paint in transparent layers.This works very well then I'm pre-shading (setting the gradients before you choose your final color) I thin down the final colors with Glaze Medium making the paint transparent and showing all of my previous under tones. I hope this make sense. Thank you for watching!
I have glazing medium, and blending medium, and impasto gel...default choice is Matt acrylic medium. Nice explanation. Utterly baffled as to what would incur a dislike.
Thank you, I wanted to be clear because I originally had a lot of questions about Glaze Medium which prompted me to do some research. I'm happy that you liked the video. This video was filmed back before I upgraded the channel by getting a new cameras and audio system. I think the dislike may be because of the low quality of video. Thank you for commenting! Check out my newer videos to see the jump in quality.
Thanks for this. Eating this stuff up the last month. Vallejo has this verdigris glaze I'll experiment with trying to add that weathered bronze copper look to a big ass 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Nautilus resin sub slowly making it's way across the planes. (April 20% off!) I suppose pastels would be good to look at too. Rust effects will not be heavy just RCGuy's. too much of one look, and the flat areas around the rivets, etc., when brushed or wiped down to remove excess rust effects, seem to go too light. I know, highlights in video pop more than in real life. Welcome to newscaster makeup... Anyway, I want drama. Colors emerging from a much darker palette. Maybe even giving it the illusion that it's underwater and jsut parts of it are being hit by beams of light through kelp. I guess this hyperthink disease, (first model to build in 14 years) is pre-building in your head. Well, better than practicing on the roommate's head while they're sleeping... ah, show biz....
Wow, I would love to see your progress with the Nautilus! Check out The Miniature's Paintbrush Legion on Facebook to become a member and share you pictures.

Because it’s a medium, the thought is that it is possible. However since it’s blended in with the paint so any thing that will pull up this medium will also pull up the paint it’s mixed with. It’s chemical composition is so that paint molecules do not separate so it’s easy to think that you could use it to protect your paint. However I would stick with varnishes that are designed for that particular purpose.
Yeah back when I made this video I was very much new at this TH-cam thing Iv'e invested thousands on new equipment for my more recent videos. even if my computer broke recently lol Just trying to get a break.
Welcome to the family, I'm currently focused on transforming the quality of my videos, audio as well as video, let me know how I'm doing if you have the chance. I'm working too closely that sometimes I miss the bigger picture.
@@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush Absolutely! I think the channel is great right now! I´ll see more videos and give my honest and humble suggestions, if if they appear. God bless!
Hello there, thank you for the video. May you tell me if i can use the vallejo glazing medim with, for example, Vallejo Sepia Shade Wash and obtain a similar result as GW Nuln Oil and Lahamian Medium? A friend of mine suggested me to use them on a primered Mini to see the shadows better. Thank you in advance
Wow, I don't know how I missed this awesome question, I'm not sure but I'm so going to try it! Oh, 5 months ago is when my computer died... Sorry for the delay in response!
Interesting, attempt adding matte medium to your mix. That should bind the pigment so that way you will not get that glossy sheen, I’m curious what paint are you using?
@@TheMiniaturesPaintbrush I use the vallejo glaze medium with vallejo paint and so I stopped using it because the briant effect is terrible on the miniatures
@@antoineveron2847 less transparent model colors are pretty challenging to glaze correctly, but even if it comes out glossy, you could always use matte varnish when done painting. Have you tried gel base medium paint? Scale 75 are excellent and I haven’t used glaze medium with them because you can glaze with just water. The reason behind that is the gel keeps the pigment together better than the regular paints. So they can be thinned a lot further without that glossy look.
Genuine question, is that ring around the water mixed one not because your'e painting on a porous surface and it absorbed the water (and with it a tiny amount of paint)?
It’s a really good question. I Most definitely get a ring even if it weren’t on a porous surface I tried to experimenting again since I’ve done this experiment years ago on both plastic and ceramic tile and water tension does pull to The edges of water droplet. Thank you so much for interacting!
Yeah that's right. It's the water pooling to edge. I have bad hard water from my tap in my house. So with many colors like black and sliver paints. I get in a short period of time a dry ring of paint in my dry pallet. That's why I am looking at this video and others for information. I didn't get the gloss medium. I did get the Matt medium. And I like all the improvements seeing in the paint.
Q: So I use the glaze med and paint, no water ? The med replaces the water ? Also, it says on the bottle to thin paint with 50% med but it seemed a bit thick, is that ok ? use it that way ? or do I continue adding until it’s like dirty paint, almost a wash ? basically like I would with water ? Also, this is only for blending, correct ? or can I use it for layering or is it best to continue using water for layering ?
I place one drop of Glaze Medium One drop of water and one drop of paint on my wet palette I dip my brush in one of each then I wick the mixture off and see if it's translucent. Depending on the thickness of the paint you may need more medium and water dips until I see the paint to the consistency I want it. So it's dependent on the paint, brand, color, temperature of the room, the humidity of your workspace, there really is no hard fast ratio rule. I play with the constancy on a practice model sometimes if I'm unsure, but with practice you will get what's right for you. I generally use this medium for glazing, I use slow dry for wet blending, thinner for changing the consistency/thickness of the paint and, flow aide for edge hi lighting. I generally do not use layering for painting, I slowly glaze and/or wet blend to create smooth transitions, but that's my personal taste. I hope this helps.
