By the God Emperor, after watching dozens of videos on the subject I finally found one explaining how wet blanding work! Thank you so much.
after years of searching.... finally i found an amazing blending tutorial
Making it look easy enough that I will have to finally try to wet blend. Happy Birthday!
Not even thinking about a giveaway... Thank you a lot! I've been painting minis for like... 35(?) years now, and never ever got blending right. And along come you (and those lovely cats!) and there I am - getting the missing link to make my technique work: the BELLY of the brush! Thank you for that most helpful piece of advice!
That's some great tips, I don't think anyone else has actually explained that you should put more pressure on the belly when blending 😊
The tip about pressure on belly of the brush was so useful!
Wet blending is the next big step for me, thanks for the overview and cutting right to the process.
Using bases for testing is so obvious that I completely overlooked it 😅. That's a great tip!
Great advice about using the belly of the brush and not the tip. Happy birthday and good luck to everyone!
As silly as it sounds, I hadn't thought to try wet blending on a blank base for practice.
Thank you and HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAYYYY!!!
These are some good tips for techniques that many people struggle with.
Happy birthday! I learned wet bleeding before I knew what it was. Pre-TH-cam era. I just tried to mix paint on my mini and it worked like a charm.
This is the best explanation of wet blending I've seen so far. Most miss the part about blending using the belly of the brush!
Happy birthday 🎉 my daughter and I watch all your videos!
Practising on bases is a huuuge advice!
Feels like it may have finally "clicked" in my brain. Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the tutorial!
This is probably the best tutorial I've seen on these techniques!
Amazing, all of those minute technique details I haven't heard anywhere else made all the difference to my blending :D
Straight forward and very thorough, fantastic video and tutorial. thank you
wow!!!! Your blending is out of this world!!!! Happy birthday Lyla!!!
This was the most helpful video on wet blending and feathering that I have seen
First off lets just say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I'm a Cinco de Mayo baby so mine is right around the corner! I am just starting out in my mini painting adventures and there are so many areas that I would have had issues tackling (wet blending among them) but after watching such a detailed video filled with such great tips and advice I feel much better about trying each one. I've watched so many of your videos and learned so much from them. Now that the minis I ordered have arrived I can begin my adventure knowing that you and your videos are here in case I run into trouble and need a refresher course. Thank you!
Thank you for showing the brush strokes so clearly, I really struggle to follow what others are actually doing with the brush in their videos
Wetblend along with edge highlights are the ones that i struggle the most with,so thanks for this video since it explains things very easily for me.
Never thought of using bases as practice... Great idea.
Great tutorial. Thanks for more solid content.
That was the easiest to understand explanation of wet blending I've seen (clearly the art professor in you showing through). Now off to my FLGS to buy some extra bases for practice.
The struggle is real! Thank you for your videos.
Your videos are great! As a non mini painter you have the ability to make even me understand these techniques…. Thx!
You and Ninjon are just slaying with making this kind of stuff approachable.
Wet blending is one of my favorite techniques, but some of these techniques were still new to me!
I really didn't like wet blending with acrylics until I spent some time working with oil paints. Having the chance to practice wet blending without the time pressure made it so much easier when I was doing it with acrylic paints later on.
Wet blending has been one of my pet peeves lately so I will try to give it another go! Thanks for the tips!
I've been struggling with learning how to wetblend. It feels like this may have finally broken the mystique surrounding the technique and I'm going to give it a try!
A Little hint...try to figure out how change the angle of the brush change the results!
Thank you for the informative video, like so many others have said, "this is a game changer for me". It truly is as feathering and blending has been a huge hurdle to jump for me.
I have tried wet blending so many times and just not been able to get it right, tried it this evening following your vid here and nailed it first time so cheers very much! Very happy with the results.
This video is going to be watched about a dozen times so I can finally understand how to wet blend correctly. Thank you!
I think I'm going to give wetblending another go. Thanks for the painting lesson and the tip to use primed bases to practice with
That figurine is looking really awesome love the colour palette you used
Definitely one of the most beginner friendly lessons on wet blending I have ever watched! Thanks for adding your amazing voice to the hobby!
Oh damn I think I finally get what I've been doing wrong so far ... I've always used the tip of the brush trying to blend. That makes so much more sense!
This is by far the best guide to wet blending I have seen, I am keen to give this a try now. Thank you!
That means a lot!
I've been wondering what I've been doing wrong. This has cleared it up Thank you
Practicing on primed bases is a brilliant idea. Thank you.
Great video! Not enough tutorials cover how to actually control your brush. I learned quite a bit from this and will definitely try the practice on primed bases.
Golden makes a line of acrylics called "Open acrylics" that are acrylics with a ~3 hour working time and what I've started using almost exclusively. While you don't need to use their paints, you should try using the Open gel medium. It's basically the binder they use in their paints that has built-in extender. You can mix it with regular acrylics to get quite a bit more time so you can blend, but not have to wait the 3 hours for it to dry as if you mixed it with their Open paints.
Open gel medium does take some getting used to, because it behaves more like oil where you have to glob it down then spread it like butter. One of the easiest ways to get acclimated with it is to mix it with inks, coat a model in the mix, then use swabs to remove excess paint off the surface. It's similar to doing the oil wash technique and will create some nice blends. You'll still have some working time, too, if you're quick enough. Then you can do some more feathering on top.
Oh. My. God.
I love this video!
Actually showing how the brush moves, and what to look for, and what we expect to see is GOLD!!! We need more videos this detailed!
Wow Layla, you’ve really hit it out of the park with this one! This is the most comprehensive wet blending video I’ve ever seen. I’m subbed to Vince Venturella so that’s saying something.
I've been struggling with the technique but I think that with this video I have a muuuuuuuch better understanding about how to.
Look forward to more of your videos. You always explain things so smoothly
I’ve been looking for a good wet blending video, this might be the winner for me so far! Thanks for the content!
Your videos have been so helpful in my quest to become better at painting minis - thank you!
Happy belated birthday! I am watching this on my birthday!
Thanks for the feathering technique. I finally solved my dilemma by your suggestion to use longer belly brush. 👌
Still praticing these tecniques 😄 Thank you for simplifying it for us!
Crazy looking model you've made by the way!
49 Seconds... 49 SECONDS! And I understood why I struggle. That is a record. Thanks so much! Can't wait to get painting again tonight!
You have explained this process better then any other content creator Iv seen. Thank you, il need to start practicing!
I have just started painting miniatures. Your videos are very helpful and make it less daunting to try out new techniques on my own miniatures for the first time.
Plus: I love it when your cats are in your videos making lots of noise and getting up to mischief! :D
Happy Birthday Lyla! Thank you for all of your wonderful content!
Happy Birthday! Hope your birthday is as great as your painting tips and guides, which are amazing!
*furiously taking notes*
I really like wetblending and I got just the models to practice this new version of the technique on! THANKS!
This was a fantastic video. Probably the clearest explanation I’ve seen. Thank you
Just tried this on my first ever mini and it worked 😱 thanks so much!
Happy birthday Lady! Yesterday was my birthday and so we are April bday bros!
Edit - I seem to have gotten a msg about winning something, whatever it is, donate it to the next person in the contest, or use whatever it cost as a donation to the SPCA in your area. Thank you! I hope your birthday was amazing!
I believe this is the first time I see a content creator talking about wet bending and actually pointing out that you need to apply the preasure on the BELLY of the brush, not the tip. That is super important, thank you Lyla!
Really enjoy watching your videos, I learn something new every time. Great content! :)
I’ve been scared to try this because for some reason I thought I had to learn/practice on minis. This is awesome and is definitely a new technique I’m going to try now. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! I've always been afraid of trying blending, but eventually I just need to do it, mess it up, and practice!
It took me years to figure this technique out, and just 7 minutes to understand what my brush was actually doing. Thank you for explaining it so succinctly, and Happy Birthday!
Still trying to learn this technique, but following your lead, ive learned so much!
You are THE FIRST person who's done a video on this that I've heard mention where to apply brush pressure. Thank you! Video wise if I could give feedback, your bass is a little bit high and was somewhat distracting on my speakers, distinctly possible it's all my side, but I did notice it got worse on the A roll footage.
An ultra-concentrated master class. Thank you so much.
Happy Birthday! I bought the base set of Pro Acryl after watching your video a couple weeks ago. I loved the paint, and ended up buying the whole set, it is so much easier to work with. I'm a very slow painter, but I was unknowingly fighting with the paint a lot so Pro Acryl has really help speed things up, and made it feel like less of a chore. Thanks Lyla
Thank you so much for the descriptions of the brush manipulation dynamics. This helped me understand how to get things to work!
Happy Birthday! I hope its a great one. Also keep posting videos. My son and I have learned so much from you.
It is the BELLY!! i was so struggling with wet blending without knowing why. Now there is at least the chance that I not simply suck.
Happy birthday!! I’m just getting into wet blending and all that business so I’ll definitely be watching this one more than once
I've been struggling with wet blending for a while. I'll try your advice this weekend!
I absolutely love your work and I'm learning quite a bit from you. Thanks for all that you do.
I’ve just started trying to wetblend, this video is fantastic 👍🏻
Thank you for this tutorial, I’ve always struggled with this sort of thing.
Fantastic vid!
I've been finding wet blending pretty challenging. The tip of the brush belly, and even the type of paint being used wasn't something I'd consider. Going to try making some changes to how I'm doing the blends based on your tips
Happy Birthday Lyla, great video as per usual. 👍👍
This is one technique I’ve not tried yet, but it’s definitely on my ‘need to learn asap’ list. This video was super helpful.
I tried this technique a few times, with varying success. But this video helped me understand more clearly what I did wrong. Thanks 😀
Happy birthday from New Zealand any your painting and blending tips are killer,as a new hobbyist they are helping me a lot
Every time I struggle with a technique, you've got a video that just clicks and makes the technique make sense! I've watched so many videos on wet blending, but it remained this big mystery... Until now! Thank you Lyla!
This was very helpful, I've only dabbled in trying wet blending so hopefully this helps
Hello, and Happy Birthday!!!!! I have been skulking around your videos for a bit. I enjoy how well you explain the techniques and tools. You are very talented and I look forward to seeing more of your content more regularly.
Happy bithday lyla.
This is a really accessible way into this type of blending. Awesome video and happy birthday!
I've wanted to try wet blending but have been hesitant. You've given me the confidence to give it a try!
Good luck!
Here I am, Saturday night at 1am, binge-watching painting channels so I don't screw up my current project XD
Wetblending is still a technique I think I am not ready for but this video definitely is were I will start when I am
Great how to, timely as I am attempting some wet blending for skin tones.
Extremely helpful! Thank you. I'll be practicing this during the weekend.
