- A color scheme is not only the outfit of the model but it’s its heart and soul and a glimpse into the cinematic, virtual picture in which it’s contained: a colour scheme is pure storytelling!

#colorschemes #colortheory #storytelling
This is exactly where I hoped you would take this channel. You made tutorial with almost no focus on technique its all useful thought process planning and execution. Great job. I might like to see a version of this lesson where you paint to lower stranded to help beginners see what they can accomplish with just simple color and light.
Marco, I thought the thing I wanted you to publish the most was your video on the Splintered Fang, but now all I want for you is more of this masterclass! Seriously, it’s fantastic material to learn, grazie mille!
Thank you soooo much man!!! And it's only a matter of time for the Splintered Fang 😉😉😉
Man this was probably the BEST miniature painting material I have ever watched/read/heard. You are an amazing teacher, the way you break down the conceptual process is simply amazing, plus the painting steps become very clear. Thank you so much!
Short story of a mini painter:
Last year I decided to change the way I paint minis for a more technical and step by step approach (a la GW but with more mixing still) to save time since I was doing quite a bunch of speedpainting for friends. Mainly blood bowl teams and D&D characters :) But without realizing it i stopped liking it. I stopped for a while and stopped watching videos.
Then recently I saw the thumbnail for your blanchitsu video and took a look at it. Enchanted by your voice I subscribed to your channel and started to uncover this gold mine of painting knowledge with quite a different approach than others I saw, more akin to mine actually (however you are at a level way above mine).
Armed with this new inspiration I cleaned up my workspace and got back at it the way I loved it. In fact the workflow is faster this way since I have more control over my paint so yeah! I love painting again and picked up some oil paints too to mix things up as well!
I apologize for the long post but I wanted to let you know you are positively changing a little bit of some people’s lives. And I’m pretty sure I am not the first to tell you that!
The next time you will hear of me will be on your patreon page. I can’t wait to be part of your community!
Thank you Marco
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 You made my day man! Thank you sooooooooo much!!!
MarcoFrisoniNJM All the pleasure is mine I thought it important to let you know!
Wow, just wow!!! That is just amazing! I've been painting for over 25 years and just in the past year have I actually started to learn these great techniques thanks to people like you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Surely the Michelangelo of the miniature painting world? I am getting so much inspiration from your colour theory videos. Please keep them coming.
😍 Thanks man, too kind 😁
I am a photographer part time. I am always thinking about light. It blows me away how the planning here is so much like photography, Well done!
THIS is exactly the reason why I got into [resin] 3D printing and back into miniature painting - so that I can try out a lot of different things without wasting a lot of money on each figure. Sure, the setup process is expensive and akin to saying "I brew my own beer to save money" (been there, done that), but it's a hobby and fun :)
These are awesome demonstrations. As a beginning Miniature painture I learned a great deal. I look forward to your next videos. JC
This was incredible! Thank you for all of the information and teaching! Can not wait for the next vid!!
"Genital Highlight" :D :D :D Your English is top-notch and full of characters; just like your painting.
Marco normally includes little emojis to compliment what he's saying. Maybe their absence this time was a blessing?
Very entertaining! It got me thinking about what the actual terms would be. I consider zenith and nadir opposite terms, so Nadiral? I think I like genital better
I'd love a tutorial video about different uses for non-zenithal and non-Object source lights!
Genital or saggital lighting!
Yea, had to rewind for that one, priceless.
Am I the only one who heard "nipples yellow"? I was only half listening cause I put it on as background noise while playing warhammer 40k: mechanicus but my ears perked right up when i heard nipples yellow. Lmao.
I think you should make full diorama. With your painting skills that would be mindblowing for sure :)
This video is perfect for me right now. I just moved back to my home town and a friend of mine pulled out a box of my D&D miniatures from when I was a kid. For perspective here, most are dated 1975-81 ... Ral Partha. I just finished stripping all the old crappy paint off them and priming them. The details are amazing. Incredible trip down memory lane. I'm going to use this to get ideas for my schemes.
😍😍😍 Those are still crazily beautiful models!!!
This video was awesome! I love the concept of applying different styles to the same mini; you really get such different results! I'd love to see you do a video of the same model at different times of day: noon, evening, and midnight (with a full moon?)
It would be interesting to see a model that's supposed to be the same or similar but under different lighting conditions. Maybe something dependent on the season like a summers day, autumn at dusk, winter night etc. I've also always wondered how to convey a sense that a model is currently in the rain. (On model choice, im a sucker for robots)
Mind-reader! My idea for the second one is precisely, seasons or different weather conditions!!!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM did that episode ever come out? i can't find it.
Dude that green one is insane :) kind of would like to see more"extreme schemes" light...do more! Also I would love to see how you would paint a dark flame
This was a really interesting and informative video. It's amazing how just adjusting lighting color schemes and values can portray the same figure in completely different aspects - values driven heroine, rage-filled vixen, and sly cunning assassin. I'd love to see more of these comparisons in different schemes and lighting effects. Keep up the great inspiring work!
These videos are so fun to watch as a new person in the hobby. Its crazy the talent some of the community has. This channel very much included. Guess its good to start learning about this technical stuff from the very start!
Thanks man! Oh yeah, I really think this is the base, more important than the specific practical techniques
With this video, you are really going one level up, which by itself is already difficult to believe. Outstanding!
Next episode: ragged look - commoner look - rich class look
When i see NJMMarco, i press the like button, then i watch the episode;) Thank you for all the inspiration!
😁😁😁 Thanks man!!!
As always, the content I most look forward to each week! I'd be curious to see your take on a deep underwater/abyssal lighting scheme.
As always so inspiring not only for minis but painting and color theory. Amazing! God what fun a painting evening with coffee together with you would be! Take care and stay healthy Marco!
😁😁😁
Marco, you are putting out so much quality content it's insane. Hope you have enough time for yourself and your baby!
Any chance that your patreon motivational group will work with discord in the future? I don't use facebook and would join mostly for the community aspect of it. But I don't know if that is not really efficient for you.
You're both in luck. Marco has a Patreon tier that includes the Discord channel.
@@jonathannmccormick2023 I thought facebook is his community channel and discord is his focus group for people who want to have in depth feedback. I am mainly interested in the community aspect, as I am a beginner and find it motivating to see other people's results. I think I am not yet at the level to benefit from a pro-painter focus group
@Mattias Geisler sorry, does this mean I was right in my assumption or wrong?
Thanks man! I found a good balance with everything at the moment... It will be more challenging from October when my wife's maternity leave it's over 😅😅😅.
Yeah the main group is on FB but I always give access to Discord to people that don't have a FB account 😉
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Guess you have one more patreon :D
So this definitely gives me some interesting ideas for my WizKids Pathfinder/D&D minis I have in my backlog since they're sold as a set with a more basic, low-level character and the same character at a higher level. The third color scheme also gave some cool ideas for painting Nighthaunts.
This is so cool and so inspiring. I already had some ideas for a lighting scheme like the third one for a little project I have coming up, now I’m super motivated and excited for it!
you make it look so easy.
Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you!!!!
Hi Marco, can we have a neon and a ghostly color scheme?
Love a ghostly scheme
Neon / model in blacklight would be really interesting to see.
I have made my own attempt at it but would love someone actually competent to make a video on it!
Brilliant video. Love the 3 scheme breakdowns and walkthroughs.
Marco: So ask your girlfriends for painting lessons 🙂.
Me: Crap.....
17:40
Goddamn dude, these are amazing. The bases especially just tie everything together so beautifully.
Fantastic work. Not to complicated but beautiful and really, really inspiring as always. Love it!
Brilliant as always. I had always wondered how you would do more "human" kinds of faces as much of your work on the channel has been on cyborgs or figures with helmets, and slightly unnatural skin tones (to tell the story). Turns out you're awesome at normal skin colour/faces too. It's definitely an area that could be a series in and of itself.. Male and female sculpts, expressions, eyes, different natural skin colours. Not that I think you'll run out of content to make any time soon!
Wow! Thanks so much for this. It is SO refreshing to find someone who teaches rather than provide a colour by number guide. New sub from me:)
😍😍😍 Thank you sooooo much man!!!
Genital Highlight... amazing. Also, thanks for not doing Space Marines all the time, I have some other channels I follow and every time they paint Space Marines, I don't own any 40K and sometimes it is hard to translate instructions on a futuristic miniature to a more fantasy or old world miniature like Conan or Greek mythology. So I appreciate the miniatures used in this demonstration because it is closer to what I paint everyday.
Marvelous!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I really liked the way you paint. The only thing i thought you did wrong was that you thought that the rogue in green and black was the evil one. I picture it as the good one, sometimes a good guy has got to hide in the shadows, sometimes you gotta stab a baby and can't have scooby doo and the gang getting involved so you stick to the darkness.
Incredible! "Genital Highlight" ^^
After Color Theory and Color Mixing/Sketching, this series will be my favorite one i think !
I *really* liked this one-starting one step further back with the story (I also like to think about a mini's fashion sense!), then passing through the colour theory to the execution is really great.
I did one recently that tried to portray a magical accident-everything is in monochrome except for the “magical” elements which are in fluorescents (need an excuse to play with those ;) ) and inks, and a touch of OSL based on those colours. Well, I can't paint like you can, but I'm proud of the idea, at least :).
Thanks a million man!!!
Woooooooooo it's a great concept
All of those are just fantastic 😍😍
"Yep, even shadows have their own highlights..."
A great comment on player-character assassins, if I ever heard one!
😁😁😁
Che spettacolo come al solito Marco !
Il terzo stile è incredibile con le luci al "contrario", proverò a farlo però non avendo un airbrush, incrocio le dita che venga bene giallo ( che colore maledetto a volte haha ).
grazie e buon lavoro
Grazie!!! In realtà quello stile viene anche meglio tutto a pennello perché rende ancora di più la forza, il contrasto e il movimento della luce, specialmente se vuoi rendere superfici molto riflettenti!
Bravo, Marco! As always, this is really interesting and inspiring :)
thank you so much for such an interesting lesson.
Thanks a million to you man!!!
I would love to see this done on some creature/animal models and what challanges that brings :O Great vid as always Marco
Uuuuuuuuuu that's an interesting topic!!! Thanks a million 😉
Please do one episode on the same model, but each time corrupted by a different 40k-Chaos-God :-)
Ciao Marco. A few questions as a new painter who has been watching all your videos. 1. What PSI/kpa do you run your air brush at? 2. Do you thin your acrylic primers before spraying? How much? 3. Do you thin your inks before spraying? How much? 4. Outside of controlling thinness and pressure how can I get more accurate with the airbrush? My iwata hp-cs seems to have only one spray mode - maximum!
Fantastic video again 👏 love your content and please carry the series on seeing 3 versions of whatever truth your creating is amazing. I know already been commented but love the genital highlights
I totally cracked up when you said genital light😂 Nice one dude👍
😂😂😂
Hey Marco! Amazing video, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Could you show a scheme that relies on more green and blue accents in human flesh? I think you mentioned that Franzetta used that technique.
This is a brilliant idea for video!
Hey Marco,
I Love your Stile so much!!!
Thank you for your videos,
I learns so much form you!
Mostly about faster painting!
How would you paint an autum scheme?
For Elfes or Eldar?
I have huge problems with orange...
Awesome Marco, Thank you!
For the next video make a Synthwave style ❤️
ALWAYS GREAT!!! I LOSTED WITH THE GENITAL LIGHT...MY PEPSI COMES OUT FROM MY NOSE
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
wooooooooooowwwww.....
Hey Marco, another great video, very inspiring to try the 3 same models but different 'feel' . One odd question is the holder you have for your contrast paint, where did you get it as it looks great at not having such easy spills.
Thanks!!! Oh yeah the holders are absolutely a game changer; they are 3D printed from a free file found on thingiverse
Another great video and explanation of the thought process. Approximately how much time to paint a figure after priming?
Thanks!!! It took me a couple of hours for the assassin, a little more for the paladin and good 5-6 hours for the mercenary
Genital light- brilliant
Infinity styles, Infinity models I hope. Have you painted some Corvus Belli miniatures Marco?
I'm an Aleph player 😉😉😉
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I'd love to see some Infinity videos from you. There are so few people painting infinity on youtube.
Be great to see some non-human skin tones, and how you work colour palette to suit
Hey marco. If you're looking for suggestions then how about a harsh sodium light. Im painting up necromunda terrain at the moment (soul destroying) and the gangs will be lit from above from lumen strips. Cheers!!
That "warm" water, at 49 degrees, is only a few degrees above a hot day here...
Hello! I'm fairly new to your channel and making my way through the backlog. I love your style of painting. My question is, do you fix the models with a varnish between the white ink and laying down the other colors? I notice that white ink tends to rip off the model when I apply contrast paints or GW washes. Thanks very much and awesome work!
Hi! No I don't use varnish. Inks take a bit longer to dry in the microscopic level and they are used in a very thin layer so sometimes they can be reactivated by moisture and/or mediums. Give it a bit more time before moving to the washes. If you still have this issue you can mix a bit of varnish in the ink to make it dry quickly!
i realy love it! Dont know your other vids yet but this gives you a subscription from me :D...
2 questions:
which nozzle size do you have on your airbrush?
what brushes do you use?
When you are dipping and washing the prints what are the two dip stations label 1 and 2? Amazing working, effective painting, inspiring!
Thanks a million! They are two jars of isopropyl alcohol; the fist one is for the first general clean after the print and the second one for a finer wash to be sure that no liquid resin is still on the model
OMG that is amazing, do you have all the liquitex inks ?
Thanks!!! No, even if the Liquitex line is only 36 colours a lot of them are only slightly different shades of the others; I probably have only a dozen of bottles!
Does marco have a vid on his resin printing process? I have a studio apt and not sure if its safe to do a resin printer here -- or a smart idea if it makes a lot of noise...
Sadly I wouldn't suggest a 3D printer in a studio apartment... The smell is a limited and relative problem easily solvable keeping a window open, but the noise (internal fan and moving plate) can be extremely annoying!
Hey Marco,
Do you think the method for painting the green coloured assassin could be applicable to for instance painting green (Salamanders) marines or would you switch some things around? :)
This is not a question for this video, but about the Scalecolor Artist range. Been watching your video about limited pallettes. I’ve found the Artist-range here in Norway, but which three colors should I get together with black and white?
Hi! The best Scale75 Artists paints for a classic limited palette are primary blue, primary yellow and magenta!
One of my favorite videos! What size is the that model? It’s so difficult to tell even with your hands for scale. There’s so much detail it appears larger but I’m pretty sure it’s 32mm?
Thanks!!! It's a 54mm (a beautiful scale that is disappearing in favour of 75mm)
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM ah! Indeed. Does look like a great scale. All you need to do is create a video about the virtues of 54mm scale and I’m sure the trend may change 😀
Some of these models have so much detail that 32mm is just too small and the detail is lost. 75mm on the other hand is huge.
I like that GW is slightly scaling up their models a bit too, 45mm scale I guess.
@@carnajom8831 oh yeah, you get more space to play and add details but without the all the work of a 75mm (a couple of cm makes a huge difference!). Now that all the sculpting is digital the cost of a model for a company is the same but they can earn much more scaling the figure in a larger size!
Hello , I really love your channel and content ....I have a question, which paint brand do you use the most in your collection? I really need to get a better quality paint set money is not an issue so I am just focusing on quality .... and there are a lot of brands to choose from so any help or insight would be awesome 😃👍🏼
Hi! Thanks a million 😊.
For standard acrylics definitely Kimera colours. The full line is made by fourteen tones and as you can see in my videos most of the times it's all you need!
Thanks. Still want to see ghosts in the traditional scheme.
I would like to see what you could do with a Nosferatu kind of vampire.
Hey Marco, long time watcher, first time caller here. Could you make a video how to paint minis in Comic Book like way? What I mean by that are minis that look like they came straight from old Conan comics
You mentioned having a dozen inks. Which 12 (or so) do you feel are the most useful?
I would say, black& white, Burnt Umber, Raw sienna, Magenta,yellow orange azo, sap green, a transparent red, turquoise, violet, Phtalo blue, pharlo green yellow shade
Lol, I didn't count them but they are precisely 12!
Dude, it’s really bugging me who the armoured legs are above your head on the left hand side…. I recognise them but can’t put my finger on it…. I’m thinking Jedi?
Hahaha I checked and it's Doctor Doom (dark/black version) by 3A! 😊
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM YES! Of course it is :) thank you
Oh wow, third one is my fav! Sadly, I suck at airbrushing inks, it seems too dilluted, even straight from the pot ;(
Thanks!!! Check my videos in the airbrushing playlist, I covered the topic of spraying inks 😉
I love the first 2 models, especially their story. The 3rd one is too dark and lacks in colours for my taste.
The best part of this video is the creation of the story for each character and the process of the story influencing the colour scheme. This time you chose D&D alignments, maybe next time chose Magic the Gathering's mana colours for the model's story?
Video out for 17min and no e-mail notification from YT yet, I feel betrayed O_0
😱 that's strange!!!
Isabetta was one of my favorite minis to paint, I will be sure to give your suggestions a go
Why is it not the best technique to highlight red? You never explained it :(
Because in this way it's no more red, it becomes orange 😉
21:35 I don't think the opposite of zenithal light it is called a genital light! And if you tried it, probably TH-cam would block it. :D
It was obviously a joke 😅
Ask your girlfriends? What world you live in mate, we paint miniatures we have no girlfriends.
🤣😂🤣😂
When do you intend to stop blowing our minds?
😂😂😂😂😂 NEVER!!!!
Night scenes for the next round? Id love to see moon light affecting the colors
I'd second that
+1 yes please! Something lit primarily by moonlight would be nice to see!
Tried the OSL and the first attempt was a disaster. The purple shadow came out so strong that it completely ruined the look. Overprime and restart. Second attempt was way better as I thinned down the purple ink a lot. Super cool video.
Genius!!
Its incredible how quickly you achieve the effect. Makes me want to setup my airbrush for more quick and easy use.
Marco, where are you from? I really love your content
Thanks man! I'm Italian but I live in Ireland 😊
Awesome. As usual. Love all three of them.
Wonderful video Marco 👏
That was.... GREAT
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Using both palette and lighting to set both literal and figurative tone is excellent! And speaking of metallics, I've tried mixing metallic wax paints from AK with oils as an experiment in TMM; so far, so good. Might be fun?
Thanks man!
Uuuuuuuh really interesting process...
Such great videos you assemble!
Here’s some theme mashups of interest that came to mind:
-Clear skies morning/sunset, active thunderstorm “weather”, magic/tech or natural. Muggy high humidity could be another interesting mix in.
-Divinity, wonder, sinister
-Disciplined calm & controlled, madness, happy & relaxed
-Techno, modern, vintage
- Direction of influence between the model & its environment. Such as: presence & affect from the figure onto the environment, the environment overtaking the figure(maybe even feeling of it swallowing them), balance each affecting the other, and detachment (might fit the ghost requests or a personal shield or something in space)
Thanks man!!!
😍😍😍 And thanks a million for the load of awesome ideas!!!
what great videos! Those are really usefull tutos, you give both the theorical informations and practical exemples needed. And also I'd like to thank you for the energy you put in there, your openings always put me in a good moode
😍😍😍😘
Pretty sure I saw this right, but think I saw you tint the metallic with yellow ink to make gold. I'm new to the channel, and just wanted to say I can't wait to try that. :)
Hi! Oh yeah, check these two videos for more details about this approach on true metals 😉 th-cam.com/video/yd230a6Dlrk/w-d-xo.html
And
th-cam.com/video/Qugqv4naZeY/w-d-xo.html
Hello Marco thanks for sharing I've been subbed for a while now and like yours vids I thinking of if getting a 3D printer what model do you use this looks like what I'm after I hooe you can help kutgw my friend happy painting
Totally unrelated, but where did you get the little metal trays to mix your oil paints in. Tried art shops and model shops and can't find any. I'm now safe watching your videos again as I've already bought all the paints 🤣
Not sure if you've covered this, but any recommendations on something to make rubble bases? I've got glue, cork and getting some sand and gravel, but need something to mix and set it like a putty
😁😁😁 The paint trays/wells come from companies like Tamiya, MrHobby, UStar, (now also AK Interactive has its own ak-interactive.com/product/modeling-paint-wells/ ). Usually you find them in model shops but if you didn't have luck you can look for better prices on eBay (sadly I still don't have a stable and safe link to share); my stash is a souvenir from Korea 😅. You can use thick PVA glue to mix all the textures and apply everything like a paste!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM thanks. I was looking for palette so wasn't coming up 🙄 everyone is out of stock 🤣 but at least I know what I'm looking for. Did see your base tutorial so will use that, but still think would be good to get some modeling paste for something a bit more textured, but that'll sort this current batch 👌
Another fantastic video, I have been theory-crafting a green/purple scheme for my new AdMech force, this video is a gift! Extremely educational and entertaining, keep it up!
