I had a lot of fun, thanks guys! Although hopefully you can get the right tasty treats next time ;)
Ha! I tried so hard for you…..but yes absolutely next time apple turnovers and cinnamon buns all the way
Hi Richard Gray! You're awesome! 👍👍 Do more Titans please!
@@thepaintingphase I thought old ladies liked those
Hahhah
Richard this was an absolute delight to listen to. Thank you 🙏
Richard is a joy to listen to and one of the greatest painters I've ever seen. Such an inspiration, thank you.
That episode was so relatable for me 😅Just like Richard I hate time questions...because I am in the zone when I paint, I don't care about time, it's fun.
Ever since I am focused on painting I have no idea what things are called in Warhammer either 😅
I also enjoyed the behind the scenes glimpse for Everchosen. Placing third in Everchosen in 2019 I can say that the online aspect was definitely part of planning out the entry, not so much the painting itself, but I spent A LOT of time planning the camera angle, the background, the lighting and so on. I can say that none of the top 3 did any photoshop touchups. I remember I ended up picking a photo that was perfect as far as all the other aspects go that I mentioned, but it had a bit of a contrast issue due to a camera setting so I increased the contrast by like 2 steps in photoshop, but that's nothing you can't do with a camera while taking the pictures. Online competitions definitely are a different beast and if you are not proficient with camera settings and light you are at a disadvantage, even if you are a god painter for sure. I still think it was a great competition and definitely something I'd like to see repeated.
Richard's NMM is good to the point where I can watch him paint it, and in spite of the evidence I've just seen, my brain goes - "Nah, that's gold"
Thanks for editing the video to show photos of the subject matter in conversation as it makes us feel more involved in what you are talking about if we are unfamiliar with the model ect. I know it will take longer editing but I appreciate it. 😊
Thanks so much David.
Great video. I watch Peachy because his work is achievable. I watch Richard because his work is aspirational. Both equally valid and useful
Beautifully and perfectly put 👌👏
The packets of biscuits get bigger every episode, in a year we'll just see Peachy's eyes from behind an industrial box of hobnobs
😂🤣😂
Rich is one of the best painters in the world and properly inspiring, and he's also one of the nicest people in the hobby to sit and have a chat to. Great episode as always fellas!
An especially amazing show guys! And in my defense, at the time of the encounter, I had been mid thought... "*sigh* 😩 it's the last day of my trip and I still haven't even caught a glimpse of Ri- *Rich magically appears at a table within 3 feet of me* - RICHARD GRAY!
What else does one yell when Richard Gray manifests spontaneously in front of you!?
Painting rewards- I do the exact same thing! 5 infantry, vehicle, 5 infantry, character etc.
Reminds me of the Peep Show scene 'the white toast is the pudding'.
I’m a lot like Peachy in that it’s extremely hard for me to focus on a single model for a long time. I have to have zero distractions and I have to have taken my Adderall lol
So I really truly admire a guy like Richard Gray, who exudes calm, and patience, and expertise and professionalism. What a great artist!
Thank you! I am going to show my wife this comment 😂
@@demonrich Pffft.
10/10, especially Rich's last line "...is a superior way of painting" I just fell off my chair lol
I have "Painting Glasses" too. I took a miniature with me to the opticians, explained what I wanted them for, showed them where I'm typically holding it. They added the correct magnification to my prescription
That's a great shout, I am due for an eyetest so I must remember to chat to them about that!
Bourbons are the best biscuit, I will not be taking questions at this time
Great interview. So, I'm an artist (paintings, murals) in everyday life. Finally relented during lockdown, buying and painting my first miniature.... Mortarion. Had so much fun painting him, followed up with Horus, Dorn and then a full Grey Knight army. The technique (taking pictures) we actually use on big walls, when you're too close to them to see the large shapes. Fun talk!
PS: about the colors - great question by Jeff - there's a difference between 'local color' versus 'relative color'. Which is quite easily explained: in your mind, a tomato is red. But when painting one, the colors used can vary all across the spectrum, as long as the final values are working together. With metal, there is a lot of leeway, because metal reflects it's environment and you can actually get away with a lot, as long as you understand the pattern of how metal reflects (which is much harsher in a way).
You guys have been ripping out these round tables so often. It makes my day when I see a notification of a new upload from you guys. My favorite youtube vids.
Very kind. Thanks so much.
I love watching Richard Gray videos n the background when I'm painting lol It's a lot like, oooh splotchy splotchy splotchy, look down, paint some, look up - oh my god wtf? How's he done that?!
This is the best review of the Richard Gray experience ever - Geoff
51:30 you said exactly why already: works better with contrasts. Most new people paint with contrasts anymore, and those look way better on some highly detailed bag or super wrinkly clothes compared to big blank space marine shoulder pads
The living legend Richard Grey and Game Workshop’s/ Painting phase’s Peachy! The worlds of display painting and speed painting collide. Great stuff lads.
I absolutely love the Side Tracked Chats ! And these Interviews are amazing, you have got in some of my favourite Artists or Content Creators! Bring on Emperor of Two Thin Coats!
The Changeling was such a great movie. The part where he's listening to the recording of the seance, my dog jumped up and started watching the door all of a sudden and it was perfect horror timing.
Also rest of the episode was great, but I've had so few people know about The Changeling that it stood out to me. :)
You’ve amazing taste.
Love The Changeling. The amount of times I've recommended it to someone and had to explain it has nothing to do with Angelina Jolie!
Big thanks to you guys for having such great guests. The increased output has been awesome. Keep up the hard work.
Cheers Nick, hopefully we will keep finding and chatting to more awesome peeps
Lovely interview. I was thinking that what struck me about those Imperial Fists was that despite the totally different techniques used on each they still sat very coherently together in the group images/as an army.
Great episode, Richard Gray's work is incredible!
One of my favorite artists. Thanks for the chat.
If Richard is willing it would be amazing to have him on again, this is the first sidetracked episode I've watched more than once
The whole "I can't see the horror film I'm 'watching' while painting because of the lamp" hits so close to home 😂
Such a fantastic guest, guys. Love Rich, always great to hear from him. Still haven't nailed nmm, but my ability to read and paint volumes was largely improved with his indirect tutelage.
One of the modern masters. Always look forward to Rich's videos
He’s such an amazing talent and an all round, lovely chap. We were honoured to get some of his valuable time - Geoff
Tried listening to this while putting me baby down for the night. She woke up hungry right as you started askign about cheese. Thanks a lot guys
1 hour in and I just want to say how much I agree with you when you say that today's and recent sculpts are sometimes overdetailed. I used to love 5th ed Bretonnian knights because of the freedom they gave you and the push to become a better painter to make them look good. I also like a lot the current MkVI HH space marines for the same reason.
My 2 cents aside, great video and super guest, thank you so much guys!
My favorite youtube mini painter right now.
I love seeing the face behind the great painting people out there! Also, cat hairs that weren't there when taking the pics! thank god for photoshop ;)
Peak content.
The knowledge shared in this episode is primal. It is hind-brain, base-line, legendary information.
Like, proper ur-craft. Simply, to me, one of the most useful episodes of instruction I have ever seen for someone painting an ARMY. Many, many thanks!
This episode is so valuable. I feel like I've hit a ceiling for painting (selfless plug warpedworldminis), and getting personal perspective from successful painters in very energizing.
That secret slap chop obsession question, made me LOL!
It was great to see this interview. Richard is an inspiration to many painters.
Another blinder. I have always wanted to enter Golden Demon and listening to Richard's insights has really spurred me on to try.
Nice to hear different perspectives on painting. Rich's method is not one I prefer but interesting to hear about anyway.
Really insightful chat. I will definitely check out more of Richards work.
Opening up the TH-cam to see this a the first thing it shows me. The algorithm wins today
Always a pleasure watching your videos. It feels like spending time with friends and just talking about stuff. Great!
Amazing! Great job getting Rich on, love that fact that you're getting a real variety of guests on.
Spacewolves Gray is for painting your fenriss scenery board and the fang fortress
Love you guys! You reenergise my flagging interest in painting. And you are always fun and positive 👍🏻
31:55 - favorite models richards done.
Warmth and kindness exudes from his soothing and informative videos...and now we can see that matches up perfectly with the face! 😂 Great video and thanks for your continued inspiration Rich
Yep can confirm a lovely human being indeed
My favourite painter, great teacher, amazing videos with great explanations! 🖤
I did the same thing with my optomitrist. When i asked him about it he stated he had a couple of professional billiards players that had to focal point changed to 9ft just beyond the end of the table. He then asked me to act like i was painting a miniature and then decided on a 1.5ft focal point. We also chose the largest lense we could find so that the rims are not in my view.
If you have insurance and your prescription doesn't change you can typically get a normal pair of glasses one year and figure painting glasses the next and then rotate to get them for free.
About 20 years ago a bunch of us were watching Jaws with a mate who was the only one who hadn't seen it before, it was coming up to the part with the upturned small boat, when the face popped up in the hole in the hull, he jumped so much he threw hot chocolate all over himself. We all laughed so hard our ribs were hurting
What an interesting chat! I always wonder how someone becomes so good at something they "go pro" impressive stuff
Wonderful video once again. Hope Richard will become an regular!
I hope so too!
Superb chat with an absolute legend. What a mic drop at the end lmao.
😂😂😂
Please come on the show again Richard! Such an interesting chat! 👌❤️
The thumbnail is like a puppy looking at his Master. 😂😂
Loved this episode another great one, thank you, gents, and for such an incredible painter who loves textures, he can apply that comeback about the nmm. It was too smooth 😂
Very interesting chat! Good to hear Peachey shoutout HVM as well, the Middle-earth stuff (and Historical) they do is superb
They are absolutely amazing, big fan of their stuff. Thanks for the comment too 😍👍
Mini painting is so much like Golf, there are thousands of videos on how to do it, unlike other sports (one rarely sees videos on football techniques) innumerable techniques, famous painters/golfers have each stroke analyzed. And it’s a skill where every new member is welcomed with open arms.
At least now I know what NMM is. Funny and slightly informative video as always. Waiting eagerly for the next one.
I appreciate new tech but Geoff's in-nostral Mic is not an upgrade we want. Naturally, I blame Pat!
Other than that all good.
I think newer models are possibly designed with a little more intention for contrast paints? lots of detail picked up a lot better than big open areas with that range (for the average joe!)
Good to brush up on the painting technique!
I love how they look up when listening to Patrick like he’s the Holy Spirit!
He’s sometimes just a face in cloud.
Bartoline paint and varnish remover is basically Biostrip but cheaper Geoff £10 a litre at time of writing
Cheers for the info.
Wow, weird hearing someone introduce themselves with a name we share. Worried to find out what middle name(s) this Nick Peachey has, just in case it get more uncanny 😅. So happy to find out I'm another Nick Peachey who enjoys 40k 😊 love the discussion!
The only movie that's truly scared me is Johnny got his gun, idk if it can be classed as horror but the concept is scarier than most other proper horror movies. Really stays with you, the book is just as disturbing but very difficult to read
Richard is amazing. Please pay more attention to the mic position though ❤
Monte is insane! Not been but seeing some of the entries is mind blowing. Similar to how Euro used to be in years past.
What a guy Rich is! Fantastic episode as ever
What a painter! One of the best!
Thr details thing on models looks amazing. But my god, am I fed up painting rosary beads on my Sisters of Battle.
Great vid as always guys, love these guests you guys are having and Rich seems like a top chap too, very nice 2hrs to spend listening to you all.
Also, on "stealing ideas' my boss says about stealing ideas to use is better thought of as S.W.I.P.E. Steal With Integrity. Practically Everything.
Hahaha! I love that reasoning, ill be using that from now lol
I had no idea Peachy was so into Classics.
I should really have a chat with him about painting up some 3D printed museum objects! 😎
lots of heavy breathing in the mics in the background - maybe it was Pat as he’s was so high up and the air was thinner!
In this podcast; one person loves NMM, one person hates NMM. FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT (Harry Hill style).
Hahaha! Damn we missed a trick there lol
Richard's stuff is amazing, and somehow even better in the flesh from the few I have seen on display. I am suprised Peachy let him have coffee and not a cup of Earl Grey though
Great video lads. Very interesting info from Richard and ruddy nora! there's some ace painting there! Got a follower right here! I'm like Richard, i much prefer to do one model, rather than batch. The only game I get to play is blood bowl (as my friend refuses to play anything besides that and 90's epic), but I find painting up teams very frustraiting as i get bored of the same scheme.. and no guns! In my case I have to paint in pairs, do one then paint a single mini, then another pair. Just to keep my mind occupied. However, this leads to slight variations in colour as I forget what my original mix was 😂. Keep on entertaining us like you do. A really great set up this is. Oh and Richard's models, either inspire me to be better or to banish my split ended brushes and take up needle work 😂😂
HVM Workbench has actually been comissioned to make pictures for Warhammer Community by the Middle Earth team at soem point (some Ent stuff). Don't know if there's any other stuff like that done by GW
I loooooooove his work
What a great content lads, I can barely keep up!
A painting phase style guide to simple glazing would be incredibly useful!
So... I see the Bourbons.. Is that a packet of Garibaldi next to them? I love the revolutionary biscuits. Missing the Peak Freans Trotsky Assortment though.
Apologies and gratitude to a fellow (and funnier) Scouser, Alexei Sayle.
It's supposed to look like ice over rocks
Richard's wife still does a better voice over 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😉
Glazing question: consistency of milk ... full fat, skimmed, foamy straight from the cow?
Please add a link where we can order the snacks and cookies you've got.
I'm very surprised that Richard is not a Sir... King Charles needs to keep up.
Just wondered if you guys are ever going to open them bourbon creams!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Think you should have one episode where all you do is eat biscuits. 😉
Don’t tempt us.
Oh the IW helmet is still there! Any connection to the phenomenal Fraser Gray that dominated the pages of the late 1980's White Dwarf?
Geoff: I wonder if gw sculptors feel the same way you do, about your haircuts, when they see a kitbash?
Sculptor: why you putting that on there!? If I wanted that on there I would have put it on there!😆
Would love it if Richard Entered a Warlord titan one year for golden demon, I'm curious as to how he'd do on the biggest model.
it was 1996 i remember that incident with the 12 year old and the dad being great and it winning Gold i remember hearing a lot of people talking about it going around the event
why is GW making heavily detailed models you ask? to sell more paints of course! it feels like every single mini has a skull, a leather bag, gems, jewelry, parchment and a bunch more other stuff - only so you need to buy paints to paint all of those details. i absolutely hate how much crap there is on the GW models, and i found myself having so much more fun painting star wars legion minis because they aren't crammed with a dozen little details. if GW stopped selling paints i think their models would be WAY less cluttered.
Where is Pat sitting? On a pedestal?!😂
The Phoenix Knights... 'Fer Clubland!!!'
Is Pat sitting on a cloud in heaven? Somewhat funny them looking upwards.
He’s on his magic carpet.
Does anyone one know why all the SM legions have a paint named after them (or to do with their homeworld) bar the Salamaders?
Thanks for the episode fellas! I always figured Slaanesh was the god of art / mini painting 🤔
Ok i should point out the custodes when entering the flagship of horus they immediately turned on the emperor so yeah they can be turned to chaos. Even though they tried stopping themselves they couldn't an the Emperor had to kill his right hand man an body guards
They didn't turn to chaos, they were effectively being controlled.
laughing out loud at this one chaps! and the best ending line!
Haha! Yep zero argument to that parting comment 😂😂😂
@@thepaintingphase I just can’t get over he doesn’t like mash potato.
Once the kids are fed, settled and sorted I'm gonna get a brew, get me paints out and listen to the Painting Phase. Thanks from future me for keeping me company while I splash some paint on some plastic 👍
Nice! Looking forward to chatting whilst you paint
I can't quit understand which painter they mean at 1:01:30
Can someone help me out?
Here you go, hope this helps: instagram.com/garfygram?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Thanks a lot! As this worked so well.. 😅
Could you point me to the video where his wife dubs his video? My Google-Fu is not strong enough..
Yaaay Richard top lad 👍
