Reductive product of doom to compliment our additive techniques? You have our attention. 🥰

[@MonumentHobbies]

We think you may find a certain love for this @artisopus !

[@chriswolniewicz9576]

This looks incredible - ability to create washes with the same colors that are already on the model is super exciting. You guys are slowly taking over my entire hobby rack

[@morningtide1367]

Great breakdown and demo Jason, thanks. Having workable time with a product like this is perfect for a slow and meticulous painter like myself.

[@MonumentHobbies]

It's super nice to not feel rushed with acrylics. It's great for general blending too!

[@MarketResearchReading114]

Newsh seems like its going to be my next pick up in terms of mediums. I think its awesome to see such technical products coming out for minis, I love you wizards making this sort of magic for us artists!

[@NickAt-Knight]

Newsh is like a super non-toxic enamel minus the smell? I like it!

[@MonumentHobbies]

Exactly. While not able to do everything enamels and oils do, it does a ton and with a lot less hassle!

Ah finally the Monument Hobbies energy drink, Newsh. The perfect thing to chase down a spoonful of coal black and dark ivory

Great tutorial! I think we unlocked a new painting style. Grimedark! I love all of your other products so I am looking forward to giving it a try.

[@IspherAYT]

Superb overview of the product and what it's capable of, many thanks! Hopefully can get to the UK soon. I know you're looking to do more tutorials/demos in future - please use this sort of longer form format and vibe when you do, it's really great to see the overall process, have a bit more direction on how best to achieve the intended results (ratio's etc) and a pleasurable watch. As someone with not a lot of time to experiment and a horde of plastic to paint, it's really nice to have the ratios and technique known, only needing to change out the colour for what I want to achieve.

[@bobbystickel5107]

EXCELLENT tutorial! I'm curious how the Newsh (and this technique) would work on 'organic' models such as dragons, wolves, etc. Also, how it would work on capes/cloaks.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Like a champ! Surfaces with more texture and definition will get even more benefit, but may need a bit more time to get the paint moving to where you need.

[@davethe13th]

Great video, not just a quick overview, a full real time step by step

I'll admit I was skeptical when I saw the release video but now I'm blown away

[@Thornspyre81]

Thats awesome that someone besides me uses the disposable graduated cups! They're invaluable when mixing large batch mixes for army batch painting.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

For some reason the way you first spoke about NEWSH made me think of the Cillit Bang adverts. Monument NEWSH. NEWSH and the dirt is on 😂 A major advantage to this is it is using acrylics versus something like an enamel Streak and Grime, so those makeup sponges can be used repeatedly if you wash it. I hate throwing those sponges away after 1 or 2 uses. You really are innovating in ways that other paint brands don't. Bravo 👏

[@MonumentHobbies]

"The dirt is on!" - Love it! Except now we have that song stuck in our heads...

Fantastic looking product, gents!

[@Oberkaptain]

[@yorikasudon]

I have a whole city to paint for Legions and this will help alot in getting it done! I need a couple of bottles for sure

[@TehKillerB]

I have my Newsh in the mail, along with some Laze and Wash Medium. Super excited to try both! One suggestion to the OP and anybody else reading this who is environmentally conscious: silicone baby food containers. Those single use plastic dishes are convenient, but super sub-optimal from a sustainability standpoint. Found a 16 pack of those silicone baby food containers on Amazon for $18 USD, and those should be super easy to clean and infinitely reusable for a huge variety of hobby things. Just an idea.

[@JiraiyaTheGallant44]

I cannot wait to try this! I am (sort of) patiently waiting for my order to ship, haha.

Thank you for watching! \

[@Johndoe-co3pw]

Excellent video. I have used newsh even more diluted as a streaking element itself the long working time makes it great to taper out the transparency of the streak

[@WhiteWolfe101]

Can't wait to get a bottle soon

[@jostonpowell1346]

Absolutely love your product line, only thing I use from GW still is washes. Only reason I still use those is I like pre made washes so I know the result I get each time. Everything else in my collection is pure MH products that I have bought slowly over time.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Thank you so much!

[@southpaw5483]

In simplistic terms, how does the "NEWSH Medium" differ from the "Wash/Glaze Medium"? When/Why may I wish to use one over the other? Your thoughts are welcomed.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Glaze / Wash Medium makes traditional "apply and forget" washes. Newsh does subtractive washes, where you load it on and then take it away from areas to keep just what you need in the cracks and crevasses. Newsh has to keep the paint "open" and workable longer than acrylics are used to being to make that work.

[@southpaw5483]

@@MonumentHobbies Thx. If I want to prime a model white, and recess shade in a dark color (i.e., PreShade Grisaille), I could most likely use either approach. The wash I need to be more exact (like Panel Lining) whereby NEWSH, I could "slop" it on, and then remove from the raised surfaces without staining; Is that a fair overview?

[@MonumentHobbies]

@@southpaw5483 Yep! That's a good way to look at it initially. After you use them, you'll find lots of other ways to branch out at different points in the mini. Here I use the Newsh late to do the streaking and such, which could be done after a typical wash too.

[@YaBoiVD]

Can't wait to mix this with fluorescent paint for that streaking glow stick rave effect

[@hauntswargaming]

This stuff looks pretty useful! I wish I had heard about this before placing my last order. 😅

[@madprophetus]

This stuff is awesome for everything and can really help new painters with things like the glowing carved runes on the leviathan terminator librarian. just newsh it near-white, clean up your mistakes before it dries, then come back in and hit it with a mix of vibrant contrast paint and newsh and repeat. Super easy. I'm going to start experimenting with mixing newsh with contrast medium to see what kinds of weird stuff I can do with paint.

[@breakupgoogle4584]

I see my terrain painting planning about to be... revised.

[@Misosgameroom]

At one point, you mentioned using Newsh for techniques like fire or lava. Can you elaborate on how you would go about doing that? Or do you have any videos that show that kind of function? I picked up a bottle at Adepticon and I'm excited to see what can be done!

[@andybillco2424]

One of the few non Monument products I use is AK's Streaking Grime and Rust. This will replace that, i think. Just need to replace the old jeedub Shades now! (Charborg crimson!)

[@MonumentHobbies]

If Newsh does well enough, we'll look at doing pre-mixed colors too!

[@nathanieldutile8383]

Whats the difference between newsh and wash/glaze medium......longer working time?

[@Thergood]

Looks like cool stuff. When will it be back in stock 🙃

[@MonumentHobbies]

two weeks!

[@dfresh933]

Crazy Idea, could you use this to help with wet blending?

[@MonumentHobbies]

You definitely can, but you may find that our Glaze / Wash medium does that better, as it extends dry time just long enough to get blends right, but won't let you move the paint around as much as Newsh

[@SigurdBraathen]

Newsh is probably nice.... I can't tell because it's sold out everywhere! =D

[@bigmecharigs869]

Does a gloss varnish help while applying for capillary effects?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Definitely could help if you're using matte paints like our Pro Acryl for your base colors.

[@chrisbaddick3253]

Looks great Jason, and awesome tutorial. Keep up the R&D for great products !

[@benmedicaster2689]

Is it possible to apply this with an airbrush in step one?

[@stormycatmink]

I've been using my pro acryl paints with adding a thick retarder medium, so I can do more like wet blending and wet-dry-brush stippling sort of effects to blend colors well. After watching this and the glaze and wash medium videos, I was wondering which of these would be better for that? Seems like the glaze and wash, but the retarder I've been using has a consistency a lot more like Newsh, and I only need a little. I've been starting to try both on my own, but would like some insight that might help.

[@MonumentHobbies]

The Glaze / Wash is probably your best bet, as Newsh is really made for subtractive painting (put more on, take more off) to get it's effects, while the G/W is more of a traditionaly painting medium.

[@Knittywizard]

Are you able to pinwash using NEWSH?

[@MonumentHobbies]

You definitely can, but as a water-based solution, you'd be better off using our Glaze / Wash medium for that. Newsh is intended as a "subtractive" weathering medium, while our Glaze / Wash is for additive washes like pin washing or overall filters.

[@baslelavery8177]

Out of curiosity, what Pro Acryl color(s) did you use for the armor plating base coat?

[@DerekJohnson0528]

So this is why Games Workshop decided to collab with power wash simulator

[@fullmetalanarchist6521]

Super interesting product, anyone know if this stuff works with pigment powders?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Should work great, just make sure you don't mix in too much powder and get a more "muddy" consistency.

[@ciaosonoAlbertoG]

Looks awesome, but it's impossible to find guys! Make more!

[@MonumentHobbies]

We are constantly making more NEWSH! It sells out in days, which blows our minds, but we'll keep restocking as quickly as we can put it in bottles.

[@jasonrnoble]

I'm noticing that my newsh layers have a tendency to "open" the base coat and lift on the paint.. is the best practice to varnish? My primer Mr Surfacer, my base coat layers or Vallejo and a little AK 3rd gen... do you have recommendations on base layer try time and needing to varnish the base coat to seal it in?

[@jasonrnoble]

FYI: I'm subtracting using a soft brush and makeup sponge

[@MonumentHobbies]

Varnish is the key if the paint you're using is lifting. Also let your layers cure a bit longer to insure you get top adhesion. You can add a bit more water to the mix too, and that makes it move a bit easier, so you don't have to use a ton of pressure to subtract.

[@ScytheNoire]

Might have missed during the video, and don't see on the product page, but what is the drying time for Newsh?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Going to depend on some factors, like how much you use in the mix - more = longer open time. How much you thin the overall mixture - more thinning = faster dry time. Also things like temp and humidity play a small part. We're here in the desert of Arizona, and all our testing got us upward of ten minutes or more for messing with it.

[@Lament_the_VVitch]

This stuff seems like it would also make wet blending a lot simpler!

[@MonumentHobbies]

It can, but our Glaze / Wash medium does that very well too. This is intended to allow you to move the paint on the model easily, so when blending you may notice it creating difficulty getting the coverage you want, but some customers have found ways to get great results already.

[@Lament_the_VVitch]

@@MonumentHobbies well I guess it’s good the order I just got from y’all has both Newsh and Glaze Medium then!

[@kris1d20]

I got some but I do wonder if you need to lay down a coat of gloss varnish before using this just like an oil wash?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Don't have to al all! The model here was just over the base of our normal matte Pro Acryl. You'll notice that it gets a deeper filter from the all-over coverage layer of Newsh for sure this way. If you want a cleaner look to the open spots of armor, etc. then you can definitely use a coat of gloss to smooth out the surface and make the Newsh move more.

[@OaknShield]

Does the surface need to be gloss coated or do you achieve better effects with a Matt surface? I do this for my Gundams and will like to do the same for my 40K models after all paint is done. The possibilities with this product seem limitless.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Not necessary, but will make the Newsh move even more. Using gloss first will allow you to get closer to your base color when subtracting the Newsh from high spots, while the matte finish (like here in the video) will grab more of the pigment along the way, making the overall filter heavier. Really just depends on the outcome you're looking for. Both are great!

[@bobafetske4200]

Would you highlight after the Newsh dries?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Generally, yes! We like to highlight before so that the highlights are dimmed with the Newsh, then follow up with brighter highs along edges that aren't supposed to be grimy. Gives a lot of depth.

[@Markula-4040]

When do you think you will see a restock of Newsh? looks like i was too late. Thanks!

[@MonumentHobbies]

We're prepping the next production run now. Hoping to see it back in stock in 2 weeks!

[@Markula-4040]

@@MonumentHobbies Can't wait!

[@donsgibson]

Should I matte varnish the model before this step ?

[@MonumentHobbies]

We don't typically use varnish before Newsh. There's no need to, but if you want the color to leave less of a filter, you can do a gloss varnish first. Really no need though.

[@bobafetske4200]

What colors were used to paint the Death Guard dreadnought? I’m looking to swap to Monument Paints.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Dark Purple base coat, zenithaled with Jade, then sprayed over (airbrush) with a very thin layering of Olive Flesh to get the "white" color. The jade gives it that greenish hue, and the purple does great shadows. Dark Camo Green, Yellow Green, Bright Yellow Green for the green parts.

[@user-qm7bg1wi7g]

I told my Newsh to add super cool glow effects to my SigMarines and it just sat there. What should I do?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Call a doctor!

[@gealgain2420]

how does this work with brighter paint? i'm thinking about brushing a brighter paint into recesses to make them "glow" internally

[@MonumentHobbies]

Should work great! Just get all the surface color off when wet, and leave in the recesses for a glow. Interested to see what you come up with!

[@darkgeargaming1564]

It makes me curious what it might be able to do with metallic paints for weathering effects.

[@MonumentHobbies]

Would be fun to play around with!

[@eddystansberry6655]

Can you use any brand with this medium?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Any water-based acrylic should work great, but always test a small area to make sure.

[@karlolson4094]

How dos it do at wet blending?

[@MonumentHobbies]

Better to use our Glaze / Wash Medium for blending. While Newsh extends dry time, it also makes paint more "mobile" on the surface, so you might see your blending get a bit patchy if you use too much. A touch of it in your paint goes a long way though, so give it a try for your project and see.

[@leighbrown5430]

Could you use this by diluting the paint even more with newsh and using it for a pin wash ?

[@MonumentHobbies]

For pin washing, we suggest our Glaze Wash medium, as it's built for that. Newsh can definitely do panel lining, but it's more by applying, then wiping off the area outside the crevice to get it.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

​@MonumentHobbies come on now Jason, you know us hobbyists will see this as a challenge 😂

[@geteavnroc2250]

Great video, but i'm a bit worried about how the product 'tints' the basecoat. I can definitely find uses for the product, but i don't think using it the way you are showing, is going to work for me. The problem with this example is that you took a strange jade-to-white airbrush workup and obliterated the transitions. Its the same issue you'd have if you were to sop agrax earthshade or nuln oil all over a perfectly airbushed model. Thus why we resorted to methods/products like pin/enamel/oil washing. So using it on a bright model would definitely be a no-no for me, but using it as a method for adding insanely bright colors into recesses, over a super dark basecoast would be ideal. I think that for the average hobbyist, just trying to get an army on the table, sure. Providing they haven't thrown their lot in with some sort of contrast/speed paint, and don't want to take that extra hour newishing the model on top of said contrast/speed paints. But in either case, and using the example in your video, i definitely won't be using it to paint my Death Guard. Does it replace oil/enamel washes? No. If you're concerned with the vibrancy of your work, this won't work as well as oil/enamel washes. Although, this does look like a pretty awesome way to glaze something, or add panel diffusion. And again, it might just be your studio lighting. I've noticed in alot of your streams, that it always seems like you guys are painting in a dark cave, with barely any light. Weird. You've already sold the product to me, regardless. I have a use for it.

[@MonumentHobbies]

This workup was done intentionally to get this result. We have to assume that people paint knowing what they want. This works great in the world of minis for tons of stuff. Not replacing anything, just offering a solid alternative to messy, toxic solvents, and reactivation hassles. As for brightness, you're seeing exactly what it looks like. We tend to get used to oversaturated light, that shows you totally different things than in person. With us, you get what you see.

[@MonumentHobbies]

As for the "tinting the basecoat" part - that's what a filter like this is for. If you just want recess shading, use our Glaze / Wash medium. Global filtering and weathering is what we're after with Newsh. We also put this over our matte base colors, so more pigment grabs the surface. If you want more of the vibrancy of your base to show though, you simply gloss varnish your base coating first. Then Newsh will glide right off like oils. Again, it's just knowing what you're looking for. The product will do what you want.

[@IvanGTerrace]

That was fun watching a video about this product then finding out there's none available. Feelsbadman..
