Not gonna lie, that part is tricky! But even as an experienced painter I pick colors that don't work out all the time, when I do I just pivot to a different approach. Worst case, just paint over it with grey or black or something and try again!
I'd be interested to see how you incorporate the airbrush, wouldn't mind that at all. Wouldn't mind going back to the speedy speedpaints methods either though😅This looked like a lot of work!
Thank you for the great guides! Convinced me to come out of 10years retirement painting my GOA2. I will use speedpaints as you do, but I read that it can reactivate easier than other paints(?), can you share your experience on how the paint holds up after they been played with, and/or recommend a varnish?
Awesome, glad you're getting back to Guards! The version 2.0 speedpaints don't reactivate at all for me, only the original version 1 speedpaints will. And even then, I only notice it when putting a really watery paintbrush or paint overtop of them. It definitely reactivates when trying to wet blend or move paint back and forth on a surface though. I never really had any issues with doing stuff like basic layering though. For varnish, I really prefer airbrushing it, and I use the Vallejo matte polyurethane varnish. That being said, honestly any spray varnish like Rustoleum works fine as long as it's not applied too thick. I've also never had any issues with rubbing off speedpaint when playing games with minis, even when they aren't varnished. Hope that helps!

Loved painting this one, great work!
I appreciate you working with basic acrylics since that is how intend to start my painting journey.
You got it! Let me know if you have any questions when you start painting 🙂
@@PaintingWithBennett Thank you

Love your guides! Would be awesome, if you included some airbrush works once in a while!

Okay, good to know! Haha I definitely agree, I will be going back to regularly using speedpaints 😁

@@PaintingWithBennett Thank you for the insight, very helpful! Hope to see you paint more Guards heroes in the future 👊*cough*Nebkher
Haha absolutely! I'm starting to paint up Oathsworn but I'm going to make time for the rest of the Guards heroes soon(ish) 😁
