What about using brush soap to clean it? Your set comes with a little round pot of brush soap @artisopus

I've been dying to get my Opus brushes and get cracking at some new techniques, but the tracking service you offer Via Royal Mail stops working as soon as the shipment leaves the UK, and I have had no idea where my brushes are for the last 10 days :( wish you guys would offer UPS or something

"just the tip.." 👀👀👀

How to drybrush a textured base without doing the feet edges? Just fix the latter later or add more dust to the rest of the feet?

Last night I made a small batch of a ProAcryl version of Sonic Sledgehammer's "juice" wash from the black wash, the flesh wash, and the wash and glaze medium to see how that works. Added a bit of water and a few drops of brown wash after the first uses. I'm going to use it more over the next few weeks to see how it goes.

bro I'd handle enamels with more caution. ;) Use gloves etc...please.

Brilliant video of tips. I shall try this. I definitely do not use references enough

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5yum5Z9bt6oq8k reeeeeeeeally looks like you licked the mini, not the brush in the segment.

This guy is quite slim, but I like the figure.

The place I struggle with glazing is in the proverbial "smoothing hard transitions between colors." When I attempt to glaze over these spots even after a ton of coats I end up with a hard transition that just has a filter over it. That termie looks pretty amazing though.

The amount of liquid on your brush is just as important if not more important than the dilution. Your brush should be close to being dry. Most people use too much and end up doing washes rather than glazes and this leads to coffee staining because of how much fluid pools wherever your brush tip leaves the mini. Once you realise this then you will do much better. When you're doing entire areas like in the video it matters less, but when you're trying to actually blend and so aren't covering full areas it's vital to not overfill your brush.

Amazing!

I liked this but wondered if there is a big difference using glaze medium or similar? Informative as always guys!

I was about to ask you if you could do an ork flesh video, but vibrant and not just an all over wash. Thought I had better check your video history first… there it is only a few videos ago!! Subscribed.

10 minutes to fix this? I would sit there for hours and hours and it would still look miserable... it would be better for me to burn the mini, or prime it totally new and restart the entire thing 😂

Do glaze mediums, like those from Vallejo and ProAcryl, add to the process at all, or are they just a gimmick?

Riiiiiiiiight, we want to avoid that lift off dab of paint. That single tip was the missing piece of the puzzle for me! I've been forcing a lift off point in all my glazing and it just resulted in rougher and rougher gradients.

One question I have is when glazing with low pigment paints, like yellows and whites - is that a case of being more patient or can you push things with less dilution and still get that smooth finish? My WS successor chapter is mostly white and I've done a couple of techniques for squads like layering and dry brushing. but characters I want that smoother finish so have been cautious about pushing it. Citadel whites aren't that good either, but tamiya xf2 is also a bit chalky sometimes.

Great vid! Glazing is one of those terms thrown around by a lot of painters without it ever really being explained. When I got into painting minis a few years ago, it took a long time before I pieced together an idea of what it meant, it was often assumed knowledge in other painting videos. This has been the best explanation and tutorial for it I have seen to date. Really helpful.

great video mate. So efficient.

These are well spring painted non-metallic glazed Space Marines over the zenithal. Fine stippling there.

This is so good, thank you.

Thanks so much for this, very helpful. I wanted to brush up on my glazing (pun not intended) and youtube started bombarding me with videos, and crazily enough you published this the next day! Very weird, but awesome. I like the confident glazing. I've definitely been glazing incorrectly all these years, so its time to give it a proper go again. I am trying to do a nice job on a flesh heavy mini, and am trying to figure out how to glaze in some shadows by adding purples, I'm sure you have a video on that too I will have to find!

Love the combination between stippling and layering. Pretty much exactly the type of painting I was planning on trying next so this tutorial is a godsend!

I’m an idiot… where is the egg sign up?

Do I need this vid? Not really lol, but I will always come watch the content to support the channel.

Thanks for the emphasis on no definitive ratio; I have a tendency to look for that golden ratio whether it’s applicable or not, and this was a good reminder to pay attention to the behavior of the glaze instead of blindly trusting that I am putting the right number of drops in the mix. Is there any additional advice you have for glazing off a wet palette?

starts to have a sort of deeper blue version of the robocop chrome look to them with this paint style. very cool.

Glazing is the thing that allows me to take 10 minutes to base and layer everything then 900 hours to fix it all.

Hey, I wonder have you ever considered selling like practise plates?? I had an idea for like 3d printed practise plates?? A small plate with 30-50 faces on it one with bodys / helmets / skin / fur different texture. You could market the STLs and would allow people afraid of ruining there shiny grey plastic to practise without the huge cost? Or I would love to see a video on budget practise models ❤ amazing video as always you are a gift to this community!

If somebody is Talking about room temparature/climate and the effect of it on different painting techniques, i am obv not skilled enough to be the target audience 😅

Agreed the terminator looks amazing. Curious on what colours you might use if it was a Dark Angel scheme and going for that almost shiny appearance.

I think the Terminator turned out best :) placement of highlights make him look very dynamic.

And Texans!

Might I beg for a horses tutorial soon? I'd love to see your method for it and I have a whole lot of Bretonians to get through!

Should do that to the skin too, green glow would be intense there

can you make a video abt why is better to use large brushes vs small ones in drybrushing? i personally have a big problem in prefering small ones and i do not understand how to use the bigger ones in 28mm miniature since the small ones give poor results. thank you

I'm also trying my hand at NMM. It's slowly progressing but I still have ways to go. This video was helpful!

So, at what point do you make it look like it's glowing? Because that was not it.

Every time I watch an artis video, I involuntarily roll my cuffs up. 😂
