Sure it’s a simple video but it’s a very informative on how to work with inks correctly. I wish more guys would do things like this to help everyone understand from novice to expert.
Can't go wrong with the basics. :) They help, no matter what level of hobby you're at. Thanks!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST ON TH-cam THIS SHOW WILL TEACH YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE..
Thanks for doing this, I'm happy to see someone ACTUALLY explain how things like this work. I've learned tons from your videos and try to watch them all.
Really appreciate these basics videos, Luke. I’ve played around with my own washes but never really stopped to think about what components I need to get the right result. Cheers!
I like to add a glaze medium to my washes, which pulls the pigment down into the cracks more rather than staining the even surfaces.
I like your take on this. It offers far more flexibility to whichever project(s)/mini(s) your working on instead of making a one-size-fits-all shade or wash. It's made me think different how to approach washes and shades. Thanks for the tips here. I appreciate it. 👍
This was really helpful. I have never done any model painting but I enjoy watching what you do and videos like this are encouraging me to consider doing some models/dioramas for myself.
Thank you so much! Before I saw your old video on making washes I had no idea what they were made of. This video was a great addition because now I know how to make washes do different things. Thanks again!
I watched several wash videos before seeing this one. This is fanstastic and exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!!
Love the back to basics theme, I've taken so much for granted with pre made products etc that I've never learnt the basic principles of painting or terrain building.
Cheers for the videos looking forward to more and catching up with the back catalogue. 😁
Such a great video. I've been trying to understand washes, read a ton and watched videos, couldn't quite grasp the concept. This is the best breakdown.
Thanks for the video, man. Just started working on my first plastic model, but the washes I saw at the store weren't what I was really used to when I was painting or glazing ceramic pieces, so I chose to make my own instead of buying them. I'm glad I did that, because after watching this video I think I can safely say that what I was looking for was more of an ink and water wash- and I already have an abundance of ink, so that's ideal. Will comment again when it's done with an update on the model itself, but learning the different components of the wash def. made me feel more confident about what to do when I got to that step :)
Back to basics! Thanks for the video! You are totally right, understand the chemical of the paint is the first step to improve the painting process :)
SO underestimated!
love this video mate back to basics but some very important points about washes, started making my own from your video on making nuln oil. Since then I make most of my own washes and learnt so much about washes from making my own and how each part works. I've even given some of my mixes out to friends who love them and how they flow so much better than shop ones. Thanks Luke :)
What a great video. Definitely looking into starting to play with inks for my airbrush but this actually broadened the use of inks for me and given me a bigger pro to obtaining them as I do very little airbrushing
It's good watching this video again. Every time I find myself tempted to buy a Citadel shade or contrast paint, I rewatch these videos and remember why I haven't bought them. I can make my own.
Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for the tip on one of your older videos on using pledge multi surface polish to make washes. I'm making some 1/12 scale terrain pieces and this tip will definitely save me a lot of money down the road so again thank you 🙏
Great video! Had a discussion about DIY washes with a friend only a few hours ago. This one was great and timed perfectly to link them up with. Cheers mate!
I've been missing two shower curtain rings. Now I know where they went!
Thanks Luke. Very interesting to see your method of working.
Excellent video luke. start at the basics is always a good philosophy.
Genuinely this is a fantastic video. Thanks, I am going to try and make some of my own washes and experiment a bit. Keep making videos like this
Cheers for this mate! I keep going back and rewatching your older videos for Wee refreshers! 👍🏻
luke, thank you for everything you have done for us. keep up the wonderful work, p.s. thank you for your help on some of my post on FB.
Love the video as a new painter with washes this is a great way to learn new skills. Thanks mate for sharing your knowledge
It works. A total white knuckle experience using on models I care about but I'm up and running on making my own washes.
When I read the title of the video, my first thought was if you really show a video now how to mix paint and water. :-D
I watched and its not even close to that. I like a lot, that you showed the process and teach us to learn.
Thank you.
This is spot on. The best way to learn/master is to play with the materials and mediums. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. I've got ~10 years of experience painting minis, and I always go into a new color scheme or a new paint/wash/pigment wondering what I can do with it. "How can I take what I already know an push just that much further?" which is one of the things that keeps me painting.
Great video! Simplifying the process (of anything) is the smart way to go. So glad you are out there showing tue basics. Can be hard to come by! I'm definitely going to start playing around with some ink and water :)
Nice refresher piece.. Thanks for all you do to keep us informed modelers 😀😀
Thanks for this, very informative, just taking up mini painting again after 35 years, its all changed, much better materials by the looks of it, working my way through your vids.
Great lesson, thanks Luke.
Every time I need to work out how to get a good result from something, you knock it out the damn park with all the info and a helpful advice. Love the videos mate 👍
What a great video. Very clear and concise.
Some good advice there Lukey! I like that sort of approach
Hi I am new to painting and this was really informative and helpful. Thanks so much.
Yes It is simple, but it's probably the most informative video there is about it.
Fantastic video. Thanks for the great info!
This is my favorite video about home made washes
Good informative video mate. That’s the one thing that’s put me off making my own washes. Not understanding what ratios to use. Now I get it. 👍🏻🙂
Amazing! I've been watching all those videos how to make the wash and nobody actually explained anything. Thanks for making videos that are teaching you, and don't have to blindly copy someone else.
THANKS!
Awesome! For years I’ve been using my Future Floorwax method. I I want it darker...more ink. Les so...more future mixture 👍🏻
Great information, very instructive, thanks!
You’re my goto paint channel, really fantastic stuff !
Thanks for the tutorial.
A good, informative video.
Makes a lot of sense mate. Top stuff.
As always luke a good imformative video. Thanks buddy. Jim.
Just what I needed. Simple is always best mate!
Hey Luke
I love you’re videos they’re so clear and informative
Any chance you could do a how to use weathering powders/ been trying to get that dusty effect and can never achieve
Thanks Luke for taking time out of your busy schedules to explain to younger modelers what precisely Washes do. Me I just simply add Deinonised water to inks and go from there and I do not use Matte Mediums and if I find what I am given is not dark enough , wait till it dies and redo it but in a simpler form, in other words sue more water.
Love this Sell Out Shill style video! Bawlin. Keep those sunglasses coming!
I'd like a bit more about flow aid. Ink + water goes into the recesses. Adding medium leaves more on the surface. If you want more into the recesses, why not use less medium rather than add another thing?
Excellent video, simple and very helpful, 👍
Hands down the best explanation of how to make washes
Thank you , Luke .
excellent advice, like cooking. once you understand the fundamentals of why certain things taste good, you can apply it to anything, but if you follow a recipe then you'll only be able to make one thing.
This is a great video for everyone in any type of model hobby.
This was really useful, thanks!
You can never go wrong with basics. cheers
Excellent tutorial, thanks
Excellent info, thanks!
great helpful video as always dude, i still have half a bottle of flash from making sepia for the bloody mass of Deathwing, might invest in some matt medium soon
This helps so much!
I'll have to try using these.
Hey Dodgy bloke..... great video! Excellent teaching as always
The hashtags in the description got me bro lol.
Ink .. classic game changer ... Back to Basics Luv it 😁
Thanks, I found it helpful
This video is top notch!
I came across this video today, and it's very informative. Thanks, loads. Would this be the same for making reikland fleshshade?
Invaluable vid, nice one.
Worth the follow
That's gold!
I love how you dropped the E in washes so we can still see your chiselled features.
Nice upload. I think using water without a medium creates a weaker layer for midtone to layer over. Which can lead to flaking and bubble affects because of movement in the veneers of laid acrylic. There is a more technical explanation I've seen on You Tube, from better qualified people than myself. However trail and error is one of the key factors of DIY washes. More likely to suceed when you understand the components.
Simple video. Yes. But a very useful one. Tx.
Thanks for sharing
That was the best bit on washes I've seen.
What if you're painting something big? I'm into making tower/ruins at present and have not been happy with the traditional jar of water/ink/flow aid
Quality video Luke
never worked with inks but after this video I plan to. thanks
I prefer to mix in a small cup and try it out on a paper. By doing that I can write down my mixratio if I need it another time and I can keep the effect with my recepie.
I would love a video like this but going from pigment, to paint, to wash. I would love to be able to have in my house a bunch of big bottles of mediums and a lot of different pigments and build exactly the paint / wash / whatever I need at each moment.
Ty Luke!
One thing people need to be aware of, is what kind of inks to use. In my own experimentation, I did some research, and noted down what each ink type is made of, what it can be dilluted with, etc. Almost every company that makes artist inks make multiple kinds, Pebeo being a big one. Liquitex currently only do Acrylic inks, as do Golden, but Winsor & Newton and Pebeo do at least 2 or 3 different kinds, so it definitely pays off to have that info on-hand.
Aside of that, keep up the great work, Luke, even these rehash vids are helpful, as always. Cheers!
Did you find issue in diluting non acrylic inks with acrylic mediums?
@@TheGRAAK yes, I did. You can do it, but it's messy and won't mix or dry properly.
If you want strong, sharp lines, consider an oil wash. Basically gloss coat the model and go over with artist oil paints diluted with white/mineral spirits. Itll deposit in the recesses and wont change the color of your models.
Thanks man! :D
Brilliant video,thank you . Luke . What was the name of that ink please ?
Grate video as alway.
Thanks for this. Very helpfull.what ink brand is superior?
Nice back to basics Luke, appreciate you need to make a living but no product plugs also good 😀
quality, thanks
Looking fit these days mate!
Super good
Couldn't put it better than Chad Jordan has done, looking forward to seeing the 10mm vids.
What!? You want me to learn something? How dare you!!!🤣
Good information, thanks!
Thanks. Maybe discuss the flow aids, too?
ye o ld Luke is back!!!!! YES!!!!
That was Stella! My understanding from this video, and please correct me if I’m wrong, is that the Matt medium is just a binder to give the ink some body. The real important ingredient here I think is the flow aide as the amount used decides the end effect, more flow aide the thinner the wash the less the thicker the wash. Thank you for sharing this, would love to see more!
Lukes Aps cheers for that,makes a lot of sense since it’s the surface tension that can cause all the troubles for beginners, like when I first started out using W&N inks....I has a bollocks of a time getting them to work like my old GW inks. Watching this vid it’s all so much clearer as to how the elements of the wash work together. Will be making some washes soon and trying it all out.....otherwise I’ll just purchase yours from the shop!
People usually get too focused on the details, and Analyze things to death, or if were really calling it what it is,SOME PEOPLE are using the lack of a easy list, to completely avoid doing anything at all, it's more of an excuse, then legitimate questions. If I really want to do something, barely anything stops me from learning to do that said thing. Not some TH-camrs answer on youtube, that's for sure.
Tho I do appreciate the way he broke this down a lot, knowing what and why is important. I just wanted to call some people out for something I know their doing.
