Got to love the good ol' complementary colours trick. It's almost always a good way to get nice, rich shadows. This is why I wish more tutorials went into colour theory. It's pretty easy to get a workable understanding of it, and it's transferrable to all kinds of colour schemes and paint jobs.
I tried this technique. It showed me the difference between an average painter and a pro like Juan. When the red dried, I could see all my chaotic imperfections from the base layers. I’m actually excited about this. Not only is Juan teaching me a new technique, but it’s forcing me to be more careful with my dry brushing. Hopefully I can grow from this. ¡Mucho gracias señor!
I have done something similar for Zombies and Nurgle based troops. Prime white and then paint the skin/armor the brightest bubble-gum pink you have. After it is dry use a neutral green wash (Biel-tan Green) or thinned down green contrast paint. After the green dries I then apply a flesh shade/wash (Reikland Fleshshade). It creates a nice naturally mottled tone of muted rotting/dead skin and armor with similar natural shadows as the red over green on the Space Marine. Works great if you have a horde army and want to get troops on the field asap.
You're the first person I've seen using the artify brushes, I bought them when I started painting last year and they're amazing! As for painting the red over green just wow! That's fantastic
You're a really slick painter. Years ago someone pointed out to me that a basecoat of yellow helps red look brighter, and, of course, we know mixing red and green gets brown, which is a great shade for red. Brilliant! I probably would never have thought to paint red in this way.
The trick for great vibrant armor colors seems to be starting with a contrast paint you wouldn't expect XD If I ever go back to Khador or start a Farsight Enclaves army, I'll give this a try
The green makes tons of sense, red overtop makes a wonderful brown in the shadows as Reds tend to have...very few black or fully cold shadows on red, even when high shine metallic. Years ago I bought a bunch of Half painted marines that were Primed Dark Angel Green and I didn't clean them up before doing a Blood Angel paint scheme right on top...they were beautiful.
Really cool and genius. I think if I had used different colors for pre-shading, I probably would have used Iceheart or talassar blue. I didn't think the red would have come out this vibrant.
Very neat! I use a similar method (mostly with airbrush for speed), but instead of green it uses a very dark/purple blue (like a Payne's Gray) in the shadows and recesses. The resulting red is darker/grimier in the recesses, but overall less bright overall. Maybe better for a "grimdark" base recipe! Came for the paint process, stayed for the colour theory lesson!
I love these, for someone who doesn’t have a lot of time to paint these are perfect for me. Keep them coming, can’t want for the Ultramarines blue vid!
Legendary, mate. The green worked so well due to it being a complimentary colour, right? I've used it as a recess shade before, but seeing it here as a base colour is game-changing. Many thanks.
I also bought Artify brushes. I can not feel any difference from Army Painter or Artist Opus brushes - except for the price. I also like that they come with a dampening pad and some soap
Vi ayer el video y me ha gustado tanto que he ido a comprar hoy todos los materiales. Solo soy un recien iniciado en la pintura por lo que hasta ahora solo he estado practicando en hacer marines con colores base y perfilados en luz y en sombra. Pero gracias a este video voy a probar algo nuevo. Muchas gracias 🤜🤛
Could you make a video on how you get ideas like this? How do you know when a painting idea is a "good" painting idea? Like, did you know this would work because of the colour theory? Is it just intuition/experience and knowing how a paint works? Or you found it through trial and error? Or because you saw some other artist doing something similar and thought it would work?
Green and red are opposite colours on the colour wheel, and opposite colours contrast well. I'm surprised he didn't give it a passing mention during the green step, actually.
I don't really need this but i still watch/like to support. I paint black templars ( found my own grimdark style and recipe ). Keep up the amazing content.
Absolutely unreal, JH. The green underpainting is genius. Do you think this would work with Flesh Tearers instead of Blood Angels red for a richer, more purple tone for the armour?
Es impresionante el efecto logrado a partir del verde y quiero probarlo con las xpress color que tengo a la mano para ver qué tal queda, ya que también uso pinceles secos de colores equivalentes a los de tu video para preparar las xpress color.
Truly an amazing red for little effort! What color would you try over the green base for a black armor? Have a scheme that combines black and red armor panels and a single underpainting layer would speed up significantly.
Mira que hay videos de como pintar de manera rápida y fácil un blood angel....pues me parece que no hay ninguna duda que este es el rey absoluto. 5...6 pinturas?? y tenemos un resultado así??? es que no hay color. Un video buenísimo.
Awesome video! How do you figure out what color to start the undercoat with? I've been working on an Alpha Legion color scheme using a dark teal with terradon turquiose... Wondering what a good base color for that would be.
I never thought to use a lighter green with a yellow tint to undercoat for red, thats genius! I just got Vallejos Phoenix Orange, and wonder what would be a good undershade for that one, as it has limited contrast potential (due to being "Intense"). Would you have a good way to get a very intense, and contrasty red-orange?
Nice red! How do you discover green is good 'shading colour' for red? Is there actually an universal rule in colour theory saying so? Recently I saw someone painted green orc skin with dark purple as the shading colour and pink as the highlight - always wonder how people know these contrasting colour works well together. :D
Hello nice tuto for speed painters and drybrushing lovers like me! Have you tried the Red Baal contrats intead of the BA one? If not how do u think it would turn out? Any way congrats and keep up the good work!
This is brilliant, but I'm not quite understanding the mechanics behind why this works. Wouldn't layering Red over Green create something brownish? In other words, why does this work? Would it make sense to apply to other complementary color combinations (e.g. Blue over Orange)?
Brown is a dark shade of red. The drybrushing he is doing gives the red a red hue but the green in the recesses creates a brown hue. Similar to how yellow over pink creates orange
Just discovered this, planning a large Blood Angels army at the moment. How long would you say this took you? It's absolutely stunning but I'm time conscious.

How to Paint Blood Angels:
Step 1: Paint a Mantis Warrior
LOL
I actually used Mantis Warrior Green for this as well since I didn't have the other one.
Got to love the good ol' complementary colours trick. It's almost always a good way to get nice, rich shadows.
This is why I wish more tutorials went into colour theory. It's pretty easy to get a workable understanding of it, and it's transferrable to all kinds of colour schemes and paint jobs.
That is a ridiculously good looking red for contrast paints. Thanks for the information.
Happy to help!
Is there a good alternative from vallejo for the dorn yellow and mantis green? @JuanHidalgoMiniatures
@@BeepBoop2221Xpress Colour Orc Skin and Model Color Ice Yellow or Light Yellow should be decent matches (if memory serves correctly)
@@nikotillmann9764 closest I have is pale sand.
@@BeepBoop2221 I can't image that it'll make a ton of difference. To be on the safe side you could mix in a little yellow.

Using green to darken the red in the shadows is actually brilliant and shows an impressive understanding of color and the materials used. Well done.

I plan to do all major chapters
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures flesh tearers are a main chapter no? 😅
I've been wanting to put some red as the "dynasty" color for my necrons this is what I've been looking for!

JH, I'm in absolute awe of your models.😮
Thanks
Starts as a salamander and finishes as a blood angels nice paint job as always. 👍
Seems like an Alpharius if you ask me 😅
Impossible, as I am Alpharius
I've mixed green with red for shading before, but never in a million years would have thought of it for underpainting. Brilliant.

Really cool and genius. I think if I had used different colors for pre-shading, I probably would have used Iceheart or talassar blue. I didn't think the red would have come out this vibrant.
I'm not a serious painter and just want to get some nice looking minis. This no-skill series is perfect for me. Thank you very much!
I love using Pro Acryl's Mahogany, Burnt Red, then Bold Pyrrole Red for a killer Red triad.
That was really good. How about a zero skill Night Lord Blue armor?
Always appreciate your work. Troed this and then put on some oil paints to getting things popping the way I like.
Can also be used to paint a watermelon colour scheme !
I never would have thought to paint it green first. That was a neat trick! Thank you
Happy to help!
How did you paint the green glowing effects ? Looks great man
Sorry if its been asked before. I'd love to recreate it
Very neat! I use a similar method (mostly with airbrush for speed), but instead of green it uses a very dark/purple blue (like a Payne's Gray) in the shadows and recesses.

I absolutely love this method, it was tough painting my blood angel green initially, but the final result is great!
I did airbrush the final red coat
Great choice! It will make for a faster and more uniform look. I personally prefer the brush as it allows me more control of highlights and shadows
Legendary, mate. The green worked so well due to it being a complimentary colour, right?
I've used it as a recess shade before, but seeing it here as a base colour is game-changing. Many thanks.
Would love to see you cover this with different color schemes like teal or magenta

I use Army Painter too. Artis Opus are far too expensive/marked up for what they are. Bit of a scam really.
Best price for your buck out there. I personally don't like the AP ones as they tend to shed too much hair for my liking. These ones are AMAZING

@@nicholassinnett2958 true. I undercoat Blood Angels purple-blue for largely the same reason.
That red came through quicker than myself - very impressive!
Good timing got some tanks to do that need stippling and dry-bushing. I’ll give these brushes ago and I’ve used your link 👍
Awesome!
That's a fucking amazing color. As always, kudos to the master, Juan.
Gracias guapo 😘
Works a treat on Bloody Rose troops too, nice job.
Thanks
I don't really need this but i still watch/like to support. I paint black templars ( found my own grimdark style and recipe ). Keep up the amazing content.

Absolutely unreal, JH. The green underpainting is genius. Do you think this would work with Flesh Tearers instead of Blood Angels red for a richer, more purple tone for the armour?
I love and follow a lot of your tutorials . But can you make more video using xpress color , I really enjoyed your hive fleet typhon video
Need a video like this for a DA green ASAP
Working on it
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures looking forward to it!
Could a similar effect be achieved using metallics underneath instead? Something more cherry / glossy red, I guess?
Yes of course, that's the best thing about contrast

how would using BA red compare to Baal Red?
Truly an amazing red for little effort! What color would you try over the green base for a black armor? Have a scheme that combines black and red armor panels and a single underpainting layer would speed up significantly.
It won't work as well sadly but you can try Black Legion or Black Templar

Increible pero cojonudo, gracias por la clase maestro xD
I’ve always wondered if we could replicate the Imperial Fist trick on other chapters 😍
Oh yeah, next is probably either Ultramarines or DA
¡menudo trucazo! gracias por compartirlo. Mucho más de lo que me esperaba antes de ver el video.
PD. se echan de menos los videos de eavy contrast
Poco a poco, con los cursos y los vídeos exclusivos ya no hay tanto tiempo para videos largos
Can the green be used universally for any color layer?
You're really convincing me to start a Blood Angels Kill team sir
NICE

Would you have a good way to get a very intense, and contrasty red-orange?
I love it - about to paint some Exorcists so this is great - what Vallejo Xpress colours would you suggest to get the same effect?
Seraph Red for the red and Ork Skin. That being said this red is superior.
Hello! How would you adapt that technique for a purple armor? What would be your undershading tone?

Recently I saw someone painted green orc skin with dark purple as the shading colour and pink as the highlight - always wonder how people know these contrasting colour works well together. :D
Just look at the colour wheel. Green and Red are opposed and thus make great shadow colours for each other
Amazing!
Thanks
Hello nice tuto for speed painters and drybrushing lovers like me! Have you tried the Red Baal contrats intead of the BA one? If not how do u think it would turn out? Any way congrats and keep up the good work!
If you wanted a darker richer hue, would a purple wash work in lieu of the green?
First Class! Can you do a tutorial like this for green armor or goblin skin?
This is brilliant, but I'm not quite understanding the mechanics behind why this works. Wouldn't layering Red over Green create something brownish?
In other words, why does this work? Would it make sense to apply to other complementary color combinations (e.g. Blue over Orange)?
Brown is a dark shade of red. The drybrushing he is doing gives the red a red hue but the green in the recesses creates a brown hue.
Similar to how yellow over pink creates orange
Exactly as described!
Great !!!
Wonder if this method works well with blue?
Brilliant recipe 🔥
Would you approach vehicles like a dreadnaught or gladiator the same way?
A dread can be painted like this for sure, a tank I would apply the contrast with an airbrush
If We don't have a bright green contrast would a similarly bright contrast in a different color work? Like blue or even just red?
Can I use some color to get the same effect with yellow? Pink, perhaps?
I did yellow already. Check the videos linked in the description
Great video
Thanks
❤❤❤
Any way to darken the red for flesh tearers?
Great!🎉
Can you do one of these for salamanders ? That looked so good and easyish
Maybe at one point. Stay tuned
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I'm sorry I forgot to say please
What’s your normal brushes then JuanHidalgo
Just discovered this, planning a large Blood Angels army at the moment. How long would you say this took you? It's absolutely stunning but I'm time conscious.
Not sure as I never time myself and it's been a while. But I would say the armour itself took about 30 minutes max counting for drying times
Looks great Juan! I want a darker red, do you think swapping blood angels for flesh tearer can work with this technique? Thanks a lot
Yes it can but you might want to thin it down a bit
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thanks for the quick answer love your easy guides :)
Wow that red comes out so rich.
IT'S COLOUR THEORY BABY
How did you decide which colour to preshade with? Why green instead of purple or blue, for example?
Green is opposite to red on the colour wheel while also having yellow in it providing a lot of light and warmth to the red
Does this transparency method work with other opposite colors on the color wheel?
Like for purple armor, start with yellow, for blue start orange?
Not always, but it works using Purple for Yellow armour. I have a video on that, check it out in the description
Absolutely dumb question. Could you use the reverse of this for a high contrast green armor? I'm thinking Salamanders
Pleeeease, could you do the same for Space Wolves? :D
It's coming
they kinda look like artis opus dry brush set
Artis Opus brushed are ridiculously marked up. Just buy ones like Juan recommends, they're the same
They are exactly as good for a third of the price. Don't buy AO overpriced stuff.
Yes. Beautiful. But why green? What is the rule for the choice of the colours. It should be the complementary?
The contrasting one, opposite on the wheel i think
Exactly
Me: Oh he's going to put the striking scorpion green on the lenses...
Juan: ...F*×%ing EVERYWHERE!
Me: 😧🤯
Lol
Great video Juan! But what was that video referenced at 2:57 ? I don't see it in ur descriptions thanks
Here sorry
