Coming back to this as a refresher before doing the 40k command box terrain, and the format here was even better than I remember with all the series D tips during it!
Really enjoying these tutorials. In particular how to's with "basics". Its remarkable how many simple techniques I Think I know that I've not been doing effectively.
Thanks so much for following Charles! Did you check out our latest Necron video with metallic paints? Also in-depth video about cleaning the texture palette and brushes is coming very soon! Stay tuned 👀
Another excellent video guys. So far I have no scenery like that but it has given me ideas for making some interesting bases for my models. Cheers for the continued tutorials, really very helpful and interesting and you make it simple as well which is nice
@@ArtisOpus subbed and notifications already on so no worries there. Between my gaming channel, work and miniature painting my time is maxed these days...good times haha
Love the fundamentals - everyday is a learning day. Anytime someone who actually know's what they are doing is willing to share it is good. Stuff I want - Different grey armours Flesh and skin's (variety of colours) Tyranids (no one seems to)
Love these videos. I just bought some brushes and a palette from your site. I’d love to see you do flesh at some point. It’s something I can struggle with.
Awesome! Thank you! Painting flesh has been requested a few times already! Would certainly make sure I show you guys some useful techniques. Stay tuned for future content!❤
Another blinding video. I only started painting in November and videos like this give me the confidence to try it. On a side note I was using Citadel brushes and tried an S Series 00 and my painting has come on leaps and bounds already. So much more control and accuracy in the tip. Gonna try out a D next
Thanks so much for the support, dude! Try picking up one of the largest Series S brushes (size >/=3) if you want something mind-blowing they're just as pointy but hold more paint which is brilliant for a number of reasons. 😊
Loving all the new content coming out guys always a pleasure to watch I love that someones asked for robes as it's a very different surface to the norm really enjoyed the necron paint scheme the other day. We've already had the quick NMM silver how about covering golds bronzes coppers?
Love your videos, they're so helpful. I know I've mentioned it a few times, but I'd love to see a video on how to do camo patterns using Series D. Maybe a few different types, like jungle patterns and snow patterns would be cool.
Here are some Ideas: 1. Lava Bases or OSL 2. Something Khornate demonic 3. A Character model (Skulltaker, with a glowing red sword would be a good Combo😂) 4. Robed or clothed figures to show off how to paint cloth or leather.
Hey dude, great question! You have a few options: Do this and weather per layer (popular with SF airbrushing terrain, looks cool, but a bit unrealistic) Do this way more gradually top to bottom Do gradually, but also do things like dark towards recesses, e.g. either side of pillars, etc, providing variation in more than one way, looks fairly realistic. #3 is my fav, not too hard, looks great, you can also add weathering, which I am a real fan of.
Wow I've always been a big fan of drybrushing but going through your channel I had no idea of its true potential 😮 I'd love a guide on large areas of skin (gargants etc) and I'll definitely be picking up the brush set for the Sons of Behemat, keep up the good work!
I did yeah really nice brushes but I'm not sure how much I need to soak the dampening pad, should it be soaked or squeezed until it's just a little damp? Thanks!
Will be using this technique for my Warcry terrain for sure. With the upcoming release of new Space Marines and Necrons, perhaps a short series on how to get those armies to tabletop standard using the D series brushes. I’d enjoy seeing a dark blue scheme for SM.
I think that lava bases (maybe in conjunction with previously mentioned Salamander color scheme), and flesh specifically for smaller models (witch aelves is what i have in mind) would be interesting. I know the smaller you get the harder these techniques are to apply, but it'd be interested to see what you can achieve. Can't wait for my series D to arrive and get started on my marines!
Interesting. I'm not quite sure I understand the texture palette concept though. Sounds like a dumb question but would I be right that it's got a variety of different textures which you then prime to test?
This BW ruins is great, and now it can be glazed in any colour and the highlight will be preserved. And I'd like to see a video about drybrushing AoS Nighthaunts, or ghosts in general. I drybrushed some of mine, but they never look as smooth as the minis I see on this channel.
i backed the Second Edition of Rampart Terrain kickstarter campaign so I'm going to have a lot of walls to practices this technique on, i still really love to see you do a bust with multi coloured hair and some flesh tones
Fantastic brushes, awesome tuorials snd color schemes. I've always felt that dry brushing works so well with bone colors. Maybe doing a bone colored necron vehicle or skeleton?
A great way to get a more vivid and natural result is the following - one thin coat of a nice brown, for example a mix of dryad bark and mournfang brown, just so that you can see the black undercoat shine through. Let it dry - Drybrush with the same brown - Add a good amount of screaming skull to the remaining brown color, getting a creamy type colour. Drybrush everything, especially the raised areas and edges - Repeat this with only screaming skull - Drybrush with white scar for the final highlights on the raised areas and the bricks as done at 09:44
Great video, I struggle mixing the paints and normally just go the same way as this with individual colours. I'd be interested in seeing maybe a castle wall with realistic stone work mixing up the colours of the bricks together with weathering or lichen as you mentioned in this video. I find if i use a green shade that it comes out with quite hard edges
Some things I’d like to see, and I know others have said this one, but OSL would be really good! As well, I would really like to see a video about your approach to drybrushing and stippling, most videos just tell you to keep things as dry as possible and then you end up with a dusty powdery look, whereas you wet the brush and keep things looking smooth and buttery. A video that explains your approach and how it differs would be really helpful I feel.
I really appreciate this, it may well finally motivate me to actually paint some terrain for once. Any chance you could do something for world eaters? They seem like they’re made to be dry brushed.
Fantastic video- I would love to see you do this technique of drybrushing on a large model like a Tau Battle Suit/Ghost keel or something similar, where you have these large more flat and rounded surfaces and your drybrushing to a warm or cool white.
Looks great - I have a pile of terrain that’s been sitting unpainted for a long time so I will give this a go. I’d love to see a tutorial on OSL/Glow effects
Great video as always. I definitely learn a bit more about the technique in every video. One thing I have been wondering about is the texture palette. What is it made out of? It looks like MDF maybe? Also, I noticed on your website that it says to prime the texture palette, but yours doesn't look like it's primed. Is it clear coated, or is it not actually necessary to prime them?
Hi guys. Really appreciating your videos! I have recently received a couple of your brushes from your web store, including the dampening pad and is really looking forward to begin painting again. But how much water is needed to prepare your pad before I start drybrushing. Also while painting. What is your advise?
Perfect timing! I've just started painting a load of scenery (Dungeons and Lazers Kickstarter finally arrived!) with my brand new series D brushes. Slowly adjusting to the softer bristles compared to what I'm used to, loving the experience so far. Have you guys come up with a way to paint flame effects with Series D? A quick dry brushing scheme would be tons of help. Keep up the great work guys!
Are there any good options for stone mottled with various colors interspersed? Seems like most examples come across go very wet using a bunch of washes. Also are there any adaptations in technique suggested for working with much larger terrain pieces? Also any magic/tech portal effects would be great to see.
100%, washes is an efficient way to do it, but if you want to avoid them you can do it by mottling a couple of mid-tones, with the same base and highlight you'll get variation but also coherency! If you're going bigger it just takes a bit longer :) perhaps airbrush or use another brush for the base-coating to save your XL some mileage!
Another solid tutorial thanks, I've just gotten a Start Collecting! Khorne Bloodbound Goreblade Warband box and was wondering if it possible to do some dry brushed bloodreavers
I'd love to see a dampbrushing "tinting" tutorial, where you start from black, dampbrush grey then white over the miniature and finally tint the monochromatic figure with a bright colour bonus point if it's yellow, the hardest bright colour to work with). Especially on hard surfaces like armor.
What is your take or opinion on the Citadel dry brush paint line? I'm rather inexperienced with dry brushing, picked up a couple of the dry brush pots but haven't seen good results with them. Also, great videos, looking forward to more content!
Love these series. Instead of brick building a modern/future terrain eg inside a space ship or space station like archon studios recent range. With metal lower and blue emergency lightning from above similiar to your green version. Also suggest using other company paints such as reaper and vallejo
I'd love to see some Necromunda terrain tutorials, especially the zone mortalis stuff as I'm still looking for a nice, simple but effective way of doing it that doesn't rely on wasting pints of nuln oil for shade
This is excellent. I'm not a good painter, but I think I could manage this to a decent level. I have some terrain coming from a Kickstarter... rampart. I'm seriously thinking of getting this brush set to do it. Have you done a vid painting a normal, little model with it? Say, a guardsman or necron warrior type?
We've done a blood angel! Interesting you mention Rampart... we may or may not be painting some of their terrain in the near future! We think the brushes are perfect for it :)
@@ArtisOpus I will definately keep an eye out for the rampart. The one I went for was gothic ruin, like this vid. I was in two minds with the cobalt one. So if you do that, please don't make it look too good 😉 Thanks
This is fantastic, been waiting on this since the last one :) Thank you! Question: For a slightly bluey moonlit look, what do you think is best? Dark blue-greys at the start and then mix a faint amount of light blue with your whites (like baharroth blue)? Or you reckon this method but a final light blue glaze would get the same effect?
Great question dude, I think there's a couple of approaches: 1.) Exactly the same, drop some blue ink in each 2.) (Interesting one) Deep blue base (incubi darkness/Deep Blue), then normal, but then highlight with a light blue white
@@ArtisOpus Amazing, thank you! I'll give both a try! I wonder if you can replace the blue ink with a light brown one for a victorian storybook sepia look.. will be a productive sunday :)
This inspires me to do a black & white horror film like style for an army. I think Deepkin from AoS would make for a good non-tradition creepy collection, like a Lovecraft film that was made for the silent era of film.
Love how easy you make this look. Can you do faces with this technique? I’d also love to see you do an Imperial Fist Space marine as a bright yellow can be hard to do
Hey dude, you can, smaller brush, a little more moisture (this makes the paint less opaque, a little 'softer'). Bright yellow is perfect, if you check our recent yellow terrain video it's very similar, just on a smaller scale :)
if you could I think that a video showing how to paint more organic things like some squigs (because squigs are awsome) in the drybrush way that you do thanks keep up the good content : )
If I recall correctly, the texture palette is mdf, or similar, so washing wouldn't be an option, but it's not too likely to get slicked with paint, given how it's used... But replacement, should it be needed, should be inexpensive.
Rather than washing I just re-prime black :) (this is great, as you can test if your colours cover over black well on it, if they don't... you find ones that do ;)). I tend to use 'fresh' ones because they screw with recording less, however I prefer a heavily used/primed one, myself.
Yeah it's MDF, if you go super heavy then you can purchase a replacement (to keep the 'sharp edges' on the design for testing for miniatures, however there is a useful beauty when you really build up a load of different colours and textures. You get the ability for accidental learning then, when you put your wash over last week's metallic drybrush testing, and discover something amazing :)
100% behind a fundamentals of flesh - if at all possible also about how to achieve different ethnicities (completely selfish as I am trying to paint Dothraki)
🤔 how about an occasional video showcasing sick drybrush projects by other top notch artists like yourself? That would get the creative juices amped up and result in even more diverse topic suggestions down the line. my 2 cents.
@@ArtisOpus get Valhallan Blizzard Technical paint and mix with a little death guard green. If you have access to Instagram you can check out my last model where I added it to the tree stump
Chaos Black is not a primer. In Australia it cannot legally be called a primer but Army Painter, badger and Vallejo primers can legally state they are primers. Chaos Black is not a primer!
More terrain videos please, literally can’t get enough of them. Bonus points for a specific set cough Nachmund cough
Let us know your thoughts and what you want to see next to win your very own Artis Opus brush set of our choice!
Just waiting on that Death Guard video =)
I really want to try this on a tank!
i would love to see you do some more terrain and id like to see it with lava effects also some hard to paint colours like white
flesh would be good ive always struggled
Joston Powell please not death guard- I don’t want to have to repaint my army :-)
I love your voice so calm so zen sometimes I just listen to you paint
Cheers buddy, glad we're delivering that hobby chill, directly or not :)
Coming back to this as a refresher before doing the 40k command box terrain, and the format here was even better than I remember with all the series D tips during it!
That's so nice to hear, dude! Our pleasure :)
Dear Artis Opus, Fantastic tutorial. I could not believe how quickly you achieved amazing high lights. Kind Regards Johnny
Many thanks Johnny for the kind words we really appreciate it! ❤

Great to hear you're finding them useful Emanuele! Thank you so much for the support😊
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the support buddy!
Brilliant! I really like content that reinforces the fundamentals, because I feel like I'm still learning at that level.
Thanks so much dude! Hope you're still following us😊
Stay safe❤
Nice job!
Thanks! Thank you for watching 🤗
Excellent video once more!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
Need some metallics drybrushing masterclasses from a great channel!
And maybe a tutorial on cleaning your texture palette too.
Thanks so much for following Charles! Did you check out our latest Necron video with metallic paints? Also in-depth video about cleaning the texture palette and brushes is coming very soon! Stay tuned 👀

Thanks for the videos. Already got the brushes but don't have the skills to use them so they have been super helpful and informative!
OK and yeah definitely how to do flesh please. Great idea!
Hey dude, if you do things in the right order you'd be surprised how forgiving the technique is, give it a bash and let us know how it goes!
Give me a few months of learning, it's on the list!
Another great tutorial. So excited to try, just waiting on my brushes to start practicing on my Blackstone Fortress terrain.
Thanks mate 😊Have fun painting your terrain! You can show us your progress on social media if you'd like.
This looks really good! Lots of great tips too, can’t wait to try this for the urban rubble base I’m making
Thanks man, it should be perfect!
That really was a good video to learn from.
And thank you for the support! 😊 My pleasure to help you learn Rand.

Amazing!
Thanks, buddy :)
I would love to see some terrain techniques for lighting as if from lava/magma from below. Love these videos!

Absolutely loving this guide, along side my new series d brushes. Would love to know how to modify this technique for multi-story buildings?
Hey dude, great question! You have a few options:
Do this and weather per layer (popular with SF airbrushing terrain, looks cool, but a bit unrealistic)
Do this way more gradually top to bottom
Do gradually, but also do things like dark towards recesses, e.g. either side of pillars, etc, providing variation in more than one way, looks fairly realistic.

Thanks so much buddy, pleasure to hear ^_^ Did you get your brushes?
I did yeah really nice brushes but I'm not sure how much I need to soak the dampening pad, should it be soaked or squeezed until it's just a little damp? Thanks!
Will be using this technique for my Warcry terrain for sure. With the upcoming release of new Space Marines and Necrons, perhaps a short series on how to get those armies to tabletop standard using the D series brushes. I’d enjoy seeing a dark blue scheme for SM.

Between this and the space wolf video, I'm very impressed! And I always stay away from dry brushing due to the powdery finish I always seem to get...
Thank you so much Iain! 😊 Are you using our brushes?
@@ArtisOpus haha. No. I stopped dry brushing anything other than bases about 18 years ago!
This BW ruins is great, and now it can be glazed in any colour and the highlight will be preserved.
And I'd like to see a video about drybrushing AoS Nighthaunts, or ghosts in general. I drybrushed some of mine, but they never look as smooth as the minis I see on this channel.

Fantastic brushes, awesome tuorials snd color schemes. I've always felt that dry brushing works so well with bone colors. Maybe doing a bone colored necron vehicle or skeleton?
Amazing to hear Richard, very glad you liked them! Taking notes with your interesting suggestions, definitely can be a thing for a future video 🤩
A great way to get a more vivid and natural result is the following
- one thin coat of a nice brown, for example a mix of dryad bark and mournfang brown, just so that you can see the black undercoat shine through. Let it dry

Fantastic video- I would love to see you do this technique of drybrushing on a large model like a Tau Battle Suit/Ghost keel or something similar, where you have these large more flat and rounded surfaces and your drybrushing to a warm or cool white.
I've got one assembled, watch this space... I may be tempted to make it incredibly bright and colourful, rather than white though :)
@@ArtisOpus Looking forward to it! White is just the trickiest but I've seen your blends with drybrushes and its like straight magic.
I’d be interested in seeing a fundamental on using this technique on flesh.
Cheers for the suggestion mate! Will definitely considered for future content😊

Excellent essential vid, universal use for a lot of games. Is there an OSL tutorial video out yet?
Thanks so much dude! 100% - we're trying to figure a way out to do something special with it!
New idea, how to paint fire and then how to get a proper glow effect from said flames.

Charnel Throne
Absolutely, share you progress with us on social media if you can!

Can you do an episode on how to paint the Ork Kill Team scenery set?
I recently took lessons from Elminiturista on Instagram on exactly this! He has some step by steps, go and check him out, he is extremely talented!
Planning to use this technique on my warcry scenery but for a sandstone finish - what colours would you recommend?
Hey buddy, sorry for the delay! I can suggest the same colours we used on our Mars basing. Have a look here: th-cam.com/video/mqkXvwEgwOQ/w-d-xo.html
Love how easy you make this look. Can you do faces with this technique? I’d also love to see you do an Imperial Fist Space marine as a bright yellow can be hard to do
Hey dude, you can, smaller brush, a little more moisture (this makes the paint less opaque, a little 'softer').
Bright yellow is perfect, if you check our recent yellow terrain video it's very similar, just on a smaller scale :)
Artis Opus thank you very much ❤️
should i be washing my palette between painting sessions or just wipe away the paint i was working?
This is awesome...where are these walls from?
They're the Azyrite Ruins from Games workshop :)
Artis Opus excellent, thanks for getting back to me 👍🏼
I'd love to see you do a miniature in grisaille,
I think you could add some sepia inks to our already existing techniques and do something special... so many good suggestions, so little time!
would like to see this kind of wall with say a torch sconce and light coming off of the torch onto the walls
I'll take notes with your suggestion Robin, thank you for watching 🤗
what's in the little potty in the upper right corner? : D
if you could I think that a video showing how to paint more organic things like some squigs (because squigs are awsome) in the drybrush way that you do thanks keep up the good content : )
I can try this for sure, squigs are a great idea! Keep watching and it will pop up in our future content 😊
@@ArtisOpus thanks cant wait
Will this work on foam terrain too?
Yeah absolutely dude, just pick the right primer and you're good to go :)
Also your texture palette can that be washed at some point? and what is it made out of ? Thanks
If I recall correctly, the texture palette is mdf, or similar, so washing wouldn't be an option, but it's not too likely to get slicked with paint, given how it's used... But replacement, should it be needed, should be inexpensive.
Rather than washing I just re-prime black :) (this is great, as you can test if your colours cover over black well on it, if they don't... you find ones that do ;)).
I tend to use 'fresh' ones because they screw with recording less, however I prefer a heavily used/primed one, myself.
Yeah it's MDF, if you go super heavy then you can purchase a replacement (to keep the 'sharp edges' on the design for testing for miniatures, however there is a useful beauty when you really build up a load of different colours and textures. You get the ability for accidental learning then, when you put your wash over last week's metallic drybrush testing, and discover something amazing :)
Artis Opus awesome, thank you
Where can I find that exact wall?
100% behind a fundamentals of flesh - if at all possible also about how to achieve different ethnicities (completely selfish as I am trying to paint Dothraki)
Thanks so much for the suggestion and the support Alan! Flesh scheme is already high on our list, hope you're staying tuned! 😊
🤔 how about an occasional video showcasing sick drybrush projects by other top notch artists like yourself? That would get the creative juices amped up and result in even more diverse topic suggestions down the line. my 2 cents.
I have an idea how you can add a very cool moss/ lichen effect on your scenery if you are interested?!
Absolutely dude, I went on a canal walk yesterday and photographed some super bright green lichen for inspiration, love the contrast it brings!
@@ArtisOpus get Valhallan Blizzard Technical paint and mix with a little death guard green. If you have access to Instagram you can check out my last model where I added it to the tree stump
Orks please!
Great idea! Cheers dude 😊
“Advantage” and “citadel lids” isn’t something you hear every day.
HAAA, TRUE! You don't hear it about tamiya either, but I love tipping my airbrush cup out over them if I end up with spare paint :D
Light of etherion 😂😂
Chaos Black is not a primer. In Australia it cannot legally be called a primer but Army Painter, badger and Vallejo primers can legally state they are primers. Chaos Black is not a primer!
