I use a huge chunk of cardboard box for my hobby table surface. It's nice because it's disposable when I decide it's too filthy/destroyed, I can airbrush right on it with no hassle, I can cut on it and stab it and write on it to jot down ideas as I work - but by for the most important thing is that I can get excess paint out of my brush directly onto my table surface. I find that cardboard (Especially once it has a few layers of paint on it) is the perfect surface for wicking away excess paint when doing glazing or drybrushing - paper towels are too absorbent, gloves and hands aren't absorbent enough. I highly recommend giving it a try! Most stores get rid of the boxes that large stuff like appliances come in, so those are a good way to get a huge sheet of cardboard to cover a table or make a good size paint mat.
Subscribed. Recently started painting and I find your videos have given me the most benefit. They're succint, demonstrative, explanatory and funny/entertaining all at the same time. You have a fun personality :) thank you very very much for making these
Really good video, I've also seen people stipple on the mixed tone and glazing the darker tone over that. It's a bit of an adjustment, but I find for lighter colours it works best to start from the highlight/ high midtone and glaze in the shadows - a lot of light colours can be a bit chalky and leave unwanted texture when glazing.
These figures are SO FRICKIN COOL!!! I'm a 1/35 scale military modeler who builds dioramas and has to populate them with a few figures. I'm always on the lookout for some new tips and tricks to paint them, which is how I found channels like this. Watching talented figure painters like this makes me want to give some of these fantasy figures a whirl! I never really paid attention to just how many types of miniatures were available but since I have...WOW! What an AWESOME hobby! I can definitely see the attraction to this!!
@@vividius7951 What are your favorite types of figures and are you just an observer, or do you actually build and paint them? I make WW2 dioramas, with mostly German and US soldiers, but I have great appreciation for ANY well painted figure. I especially like "Black Watch" figures (I think that's what they're called), y'know the Scottish Highlanders wearing kilts with plaid patterns. I never painted one but that looks challenging!
@@MikeS-um1nm no I don't make dioramas, I'm afraid I haven't got the technical skill although I like looking at them when they're well done. I like Napoleonic's and medieval best but I've been daring myself to get into WW2 stuff. Most of the models are perry's for the 28mm or sometimes Revell or Airfix for the smaller scale stuff 1/72. Diorama's are mostly 1/35 scale right?
@@vividius7951 Yeah mostly for armor because SO many tank models and AFV's come in that scale. You must have good eyes (or good glasses) to work in those small scales! Keep on modeling man! It's the best hobby in the World!
Pretty good vid. The only thing I would say is that when you are mixing and blending you have a problem of consistency for a large model group. Either you paint the lot at once or get used to the idea that the blended colour is going to be different next time. This is because, for me at least, a blended colour and its generation not only relies on the paint, medium for thinning and its application. It is also impacted by humidity and temperature which where I am can vary greatly in a day or two. My strategy is to batch paint in units of five. Though I did do a schlock load of pox walkers where variation was a bonus.
I don’t know if I’m dumb but I had to rewatch this like 3 times to understand the point you were getting across x) Nice video tho thank you for the tutorial
Badass move with the mosquito 😌 More seriously I love your channel and I also love the fact that unlike most hobby youtubers you didn't forget what it's like to be a beginner so you make a lot of things clearer to me (I'm not a beginner, I'm just dumb af) (also not exactly related to video but I really like your style, I think that's a cool thing to have more women on TH-cam that are outside of gender stereotypes !)
Glazing... cool kids using theese days... people were using glazing since like 11th century :P I've been glazing heavily till i started wetblending and feathering a lot. And also thing i picked up from Richard Gray, that is texture blending. You don't have to blend if you make van gogh out of your miniature :P Cheers!
I have no idea why, this is my first time watching your content, but your way of presenting your content feels a lot like what I've heard some time ago from someone else... maybe that someone's Italian too and it's just due to the Italian accent? Anyway, nothing wrong with your content or anything, just having this very weird deja vu feeling. :)
I used to do it without considering it glazing, maybe after this video I will apply it more consciously and with better results. By the way I never received the email confirming subscription to the mailing list, is this normal? Grazie continua così
When you understand that with these paints (miniature acrylic) all layers are transparent, even basecoat most of the time, with the exception of intended for high opacity specialised paints. You unlock the next stage of miniature painting: All of it is transparent, every layer over another layer, letting something of the layer beneath show through. So underpainting a colour under another colour can have an effect. You can paint in shadows and highlights beneath an intermediate layer, then apply them again over the top in places they aren't strong enough. Controlling how much you have on your brush is always key to control though, more so than shaky hands or expensive lighting set ups.
Good video!!! It so cool, im starting on painting sororitas and i never painted before and very difficult!!! Oh, one advice, yo might low the sounds of the breaking glass, because, i was chill watching the video and this sound make my jump on the chair jajajajaja (No hate)

Glaze medium! I use liquitex, but golden makes it too. That was was helped me, it makes it transparent but not thin. I add about 60% glaze medium/40% water or so just eyeballing it, and finally my glazes aren't becoming washes or fully opaque.
Guess it really depends on what kind of result you are after: if you’re trying to blend two layers sure, if you wanna apply 37744773 thin coats idk because medium = texture

My favorite part about glazing Is not thinning my very fist layer enough and leaving stains, ruining all my work underneath...this is the way
In that case reduce the amount of paint in your brush would help. The right amount of paint should leave no pool after a stroke.

This, I live in Chicago the temperature can range and very from day to day, I've had to get used to the idea that I'm painting each piece uniquely
i watched 2 videos from your channel and it really helped me realize some things compared to other painters videos
Ohh that’s nice!
Thanks
just discovered your channel today, painting 100 way better than yesterday, thanx
🤭🤭oh that’s flattering but I think it’s mostly you 👀
@@ataraxiapainting 100% vero, anche se faccio ancora schifo
I use cheap art paint to glaze since it doesn’t cover alot, it helps makes smooth gradients for me.
If you put some water on the paper towel before hand it wont steal as much mositure when you wick the paint
I don’t know if I’m dumb but I had to rewatch this like 3 times to understand the point you were getting across x)
Nice video tho thank you for the tutorial
Same here, I think we may be on the spectrum.

Clicked for the Electroboom energy, stayed for the knowledge.
Ahaha
Thx, for the nice and usefull advises
I recently started glazing with thinned contrast paints and it's saved me a bit of time doing the. Still looks like trash but hey it's done
Maybe with c paint you should try using medium if you are thinning them down a lot! (I bet it looks good!!)
Fa caldo out of nowhere LOL. Italian here. The ending was like an episode of GOT :-) Totally unexpected
Plot twist ahah Italian here as week, hence the mega caldo da schiattà

You’re so wise, Jessica. #Sarcasm Jokes aside, you have good input here on painting theory, Candice. 🍸🧐🇺🇸
😆😆😆You are amusing and right.
I cant get glazing to work, it either becomes too liquid and runs off uncontrollably or is too thick to glaze.
But is it too thick????
Glaze medium! I use liquitex, but golden makes it too. That was was helped me, it makes it transparent but not thin. I add about 60% glaze medium/40% water or so just eyeballing it, and finally my glazes aren't becoming washes or fully opaque.

I would reply with 'you underestimate my ability to make a mess' 😂
This was LITERALLY the best video I've ever watched on this topic. Well done!!! You got yourself a subscriber. :D

Guess it really depends on what kind of result you are after: if you’re trying to blend two layers sure, if you wanna apply 37744773 thin coats idk because medium = texture
