sorry for the late reply. Yes, the oils will still be rub-offable even a few days later. BUT - you can usually paint over it with regular acrylic paint 24 hrs after you apply it. Sometime I paint over it just a few hours after.

Beautiful painted

Sorry for the very late reply. Oils are rub-offable even weeks and weeks later. Thats why they are so easy to blend. But, you can paint over them with regular acrylic paints 24 hours (even less) after you put them on.

Glaze just means water the paint down a bit so it is a bit transparent. Test it on your fingernail and you should be able to see through it a bit. For highlights, search KZbin for highlighting basics. There are some basic techniques, like for features that you can catch with the side of your brush, that helps. The paint should be a bit thicker rather than watering so you have more control. But at the same time not too much on the brush, wipe some off on paper towel first. Also - a biggie for me is - magnifier glasses. I wear them the whole time. There are a bunch of styles on Amazon. I am much much more precise with my painting because I wear the magnifiers. KZbin search form magnifying glasses for paining miniatures and you'll see some example. Thanks so much for watching!!! Keep enjoying your painting!

Thanks for watching! There is so much great content on KZbin. We're all learning. I have a long way to go, too. But the most important thing is that we remember it's our hope :-), so we can do whatever we want and feel good about it. KPMs!!

Always worth trying something new in our hobby! Thanks for watching! KPMs

That could be an even better slapchop 3.0. Comment back here how it goes! And thanks for watching!!! KPMs!

Agreed. Just me paintin' and sharing. Slowly working on production quality. Thanks for watching !

Thanks! and thanks for watching! KPMs!

Right. I do try to moisten my brush a bit for they acrylic dry-brush but I still don't seem to have that down. I need to keep experimenting with that. Thanks for watching! KPMs!

@@bernstea0 I had good luck with a really soft smudge makeup brush!

Agreed. The Oil spreads around on the model as you drybrush so it ends up thinner on the sharp edges but provides more variation in value from black to pure white, i.e. some grays in between. What I've done in the past is let it dry a day and then do another quick coat (30 secs or less per model), and that brightens up the sharpest edges to compare with the bright white you get with acrylic. But if you want pure two-tone, only deep blacks and bright whites, then acylic works best. Thanks for watching!! KPMs!

Those had candles in them. But you can buy similar on Amazon - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D38J5PX/ . Thanks for watching!! KPMs

Agreed. If FDM printing can 10x the printing resolution we'll have no mess color minis. Of course I'll still paint my own. KPMs!

Generally, for speedtrast over slapchop I don't thin them because I'm putting on a very thin coat so it is transparent enough. I didn't thin any of the speedtrast paints in the video. However, a few speedtrast paints are very opaque. Test them on your thumbnail. If a thin coat is so opaque that the white of the slapchop won't show through, you can think them with water. Thanks for watching and subscribing!! KPMs!

Thanks! I'm sure I didn't even come close. I can't even pronounce the paint names right most of the time. Thanks for watching!

It's okay bud. I don't want people thinking you're a dummy.@@bernstea0

...so you're saying start with white all over and darken the recesses with a dark oil wash, wiping off the excess. Is that the idea?

Thank you so much 😀 Thanks for watching! and let's KPMs

Terrific! I was away for a while, but expect more uploads every couple of weeks. Thanks for watching! And most importantly - Keep Painting Minis!!!

The voice is very similar, but I like this painting style as it's more suited to mine.

Awesome, thank you! And most importantly - Keep Painting Minis!

"Slick-brush," perfect! I agree. It works great for ordinary dry brush purposes too, say a final dry brush over a textured base, if you don't mind waiting a day for it to dry. Certainly if the dry brushing is a last step on whatever part you're working on. Just goes on better for some applications. Thanks for watching!! - KPMs

Great suggestion for brown prime. Will try that. Sometimes I just go ahead and paint a couple of layers of ivory over the skin areas after the dry brushing and then the skin takes the speedtrast paints (something like Guilliman Flesh) as usual. Thanks for watching!!

My main "problem" with slapchop are the desaturated shadows because of the black and white underpainting. Especially when leaning into a colorful paintjob. So I recently experimented with colored basecoats and I really like it @@bernstea0

@@ImreRides You may wish to experiment with (1) a White Primed model, (2) apply thinned "Black Wash" into recesses, (3) quick White Dry Brush (if any areas are stained from the "Black Wash" and (4) Speed/Contrast Paint.

@aw5483 this is exactly what I do, so I usually avoid the harsh black underneath.

@@southpaw5483I do something similar with a druchi violet or targor rageshade over wraithbone, then over brush with wraithbone.

Thanks! And thanks for watching! I've been away for a while but back to posting every 2-3 weeks. --- Keep Painting Minis!

I appreciate that! Like many KZbinrs, life commitments take me away from production so it has been quite a while since I added new content. And like many KZbinrs, I will get back to it at some point. In the meantime, let's all Keep Painting Minis!
