ep190 - 10 minutes of technique #7: fading paint with oils

[@neumannd106]

Great technique. Oils are a great tool and very cost effective! A little definitely goes a loooong way. I'm now a subscriber.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Great tutorial, plan to use the technique on an RAF WW2 plane, especially the sponge. Cheers again.

[@01stephencraig]

Great tutorial. Have been waiting for a vid on oil rendering from you. This gave me new techniques (like keeping the brushes dry) to try. Thanks!

[@tripleheart2970]

Thank you, your video was exactly what I was looking for and it answered a lot of my questions. I wish I had seen it before I wasted a lot of time trying to do all that with acrylics.

[@GetYourModelOn]

A very fine tutorial Mr Pattison, thanks for posting. There is also another technique of diluting the oils with mineral spirits, enamel thinner and spreading it around panels to fade or darken them.

[@Planehazza]

Great video, Will, thanks. Glad to hear I don't need to wait a week for oils. I thought I was being impatient flat coating 36-48 hours after an oil wash so I feel a bit relieved after hearing your words.

[@amcastro8599]

Wow! You are very serious about your craft, using a 123 machining block lol! Great tutorial

[@robholton8153]

thank, as always, Will, very helpful

[@tpaul802]

Gonna try that on rusted metal for a waffentraeger im building. Your video was just in time. Cant wait to see the finished kraz. Thought you might have shelved it. Keep it coming

[@jamesvozar1]

Great to see you back again Will.

[@MattR58]

very informative Will. Amazing what a little bit of white can do

[@张旺-l1l]

this video really helps me! thank you!

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Excellent. Can’t wait to see the Kraz finished up.

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

How do you seal in the oil work with an acrylic varnish ?

[@voodoonights1671]

Thanks for this. Very useful and informative.

[@marcowingelaar7480]

Great job , love your tutorials . I’m a beginning modeler and always watch you videos Where did you get the steel block in the video? Greetings Marco The Netherlands

[@tarasduda3518]

Will, amazing tutorial and great content overall. Thanks a lot! I’ve just started to use this technique and faced some issues. I paint with acrylics and then cover surface with satin or matt varnish. And after applying oil dots they leave stains on a surface, right on the place where I put them. Even after blending them or even after trying to wash them off. I use odorless Mig thinner and good oil paints from an art shop. Could you give me a piece of advice of how to deal with it?

[@barpfoto]

i personally deal with it by not using oil dots. lol however, i think some will pre-wet the surface with mineral spirits to prevent staining.

[@johnjackson999]

Good video Will, I've often wondered about the multi coloured method, this looks far more realistic, thank you, loved the Spitfire by the way.

[@georgetaylor5482]

Will can you show your rusting technique and the things you use?

[@petko618]

Thanks for the tip Will. I had the impression the oils needed a clear gloss coat first. I can now try this as you show it.

[@barpfoto]

nupe. they work much better on a matte surface.

[@GrumpyModeler]

Will, in what situation would you apply this technique to aircraft? For instance your F-4 that you recently completed, did you use this technique and if so why and where?

[@barpfoto]

absolutely. i didn't use it much on the f-4 because i did so much with mrp, but i did use it on my mitchell.

[@hgbarnes1584]

Thanks for the advice on the thinner Will. :)

[@TheMCGarage]

Great technique thanks for sharing.

[@SmallSoldier]

Good idea on the printer paper Will. I have a bunch of that card type too... I'll use it instead of cardboard. I'm all about convenience these days.👍

[@joeokabayashi8669]

Thank you for the tip to avoid oil thinning with turp.

[@RaduB.]

Hi! The move an' the groove... :-) Nice!

[@jpc7200]

Are Mineral Spirits and White Spirits one and the same?

[@barpfoto]

yes. at least in europe.

[@jpc7200]

@@barpfoto Thanks for the quick response!

[@SwampersRC]

Good video! Thanks for the tips!

[@johnnyblythe5375]

Nice, I find I'm using oils more and more. Is there an advantage to not going on top of a clear coat or is it that it's just not necessary to add another layer onto the plastic?

[@barpfoto]

that's the advantage.

[@RafaelMozeto]

Will, thanks for sharing. So the mineral spirits doesn't affect the acrylic paint? You didn't sealed the blue with a coat, right?

[@voodoonights1671]

HI. He talks about it at 55 seconds. :-)

[@2kidsnosleep]

Interesting weathered effect, nice video . I won’t even hassle you for the run time. If you are doing the same effect to say green on a military vehicle would you do it with a white oil paint or could you use a lighter green shade oil? This effect seems similar to “filters” I keep hearing about. Also, are the W&N fast set oils ok? I don’t have much patience for the drying time of oils. You have inspired me to play with oils for wood grain effects.....I was using far too much oil paint on my brush, now I see how it is done! Cheers

[@barpfoto]

for greens i usually use shades of green. white easily looks too stark. as for drying time....get next to it. 24h isn't a big deal.

[@2kidsnosleep]

will pattison cheers. Finished some wood grain tests and am pretty pleased. Your demo showed how little oil pigment you need for a dramatic effect....just the kick in the pants I needed to try it out. Unfortunately I am master of imprinting fingers and thumbs into my painted surfaces so long dry time works against me

[@blomy67]

A great how to on working with oils . And well done in pointing out how versatile and forgiving they are to work with a simple mistake is so easily fixed . Sure you went over the 10 min time but we expect nothing less from you for me I use my big coffee mug and bring extra biscuits for your how to's so i'm fine I can get to the end .

[@phayzyre1052]

Nice! I like the fading effect you can get with airbrushing but oils look just as good if not better. You must be a machinist given that you're using that 1-2-3 block? I do machinist work and I have a few of them as well. 🙂

[@adriengadson3544]

I would say you could use.a light yellow to give you the blend between the blue and white bleaching in the sun in random areas . keep up the Good work!

[@kairus1]

Great video! thanks

[@syuvals123]

Will beside Winsor & Newton oils that can be a lil bit pricy there are the Van Gogh oils cost lil bit less than Winsor & Newton and from my experiance do great as well, so if someone art store lack W&N it might have this Van Gogh series, should try them...they are from the netherlands, and they are the product of the Royal Talens

[@democracy2005]

good technique for f-14 weathering, thanks

[@rossomachin]

Odorless turpentine produced by 502 Abteilung works well on acrylic paints as well.

[@MrBMBuilder]

Someone said you can't get those oils anymore :)

[@barpfoto]

someone is full of shit.

[@GryphonArmorer]

"Spooged" 😜😂🤣 I don't want to be an ass, but in the future, couldn't you use a different angle so your hand doesn't block what your doing? Like, since your right handed, move the camera to the left, just a bit. Other than that, yet again, great video. Thanks for sharing your tips. 👍

[@Kabul81]

Rust never sleeps?💤 Jman👀

[@pkmodeling]

Please keep your perception of a minutes length, I love to get twice the education on your "ten" minute clip.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Dude. You said the EXACT same thing I said on the forum about terpintine vs mineral spirits before Ken called me a BSer and a homo for dropping my favorite artist's name. That forum is bi-polar. Well, maybe they will listen to you, bu they wouldn't know truth from a stranger, they are too flipping aggressive and abrasive. Glad I'm not there anymore.

[@richardsymes7372]

Too many shots of the back of your hand.

[@barpfoto]

ever tried doing this stuff on camera? it is what it is.

[@kevinjohnson4153]

can't watch more than a few minutes listening to you smack your lips while talking before i leave.
