Drybrush Striking Glowing Terrain with Fluorescent Paints - No Airbrush

In this video we drybrush a wall, this common piece of terrain gets overclocked with fluorescent paints to show you how you can achieve incredible, striking results FAST! The best part is this is done with just a drybrush, we spend a lot of time telling people that we don't use an airbrush to achieve this effect :)!

I cant praise this company and these brushes enough. I ordered the series S set for myself last year and due to an unfortunate shipping error, received the series D instead. Artis Opus let me KEEP the series D AND sent me a series S. I have to say that I use the drybrushes as much or MORE than the series S brushes. They are amazing and just having them in my painting toolbox has encouraged me to try techniques that I never would have tried without them. Truly amazing company and product!

Looks awesome. Drybrushing I was first showed and thought it was not a good technique... Now I drybrush everything I paint.

I don't have any knowledge, I'm buying and throwing it away, and now I've got some tools and I'm using them, but I can't get a drybrush. I am Korean. I'd like to know how to buy a drybrush.

[@mortisveritas]

Damn this got me hooked and fooled xD You make it look so simple. I tried my hand at it, and were not as skilled, so my results suffered. Might try to hide behind an airbrush next time! Hopefully I'm better with that. But it certainly swayed me from just slapping on contrast paint, since it looks way better ^^

[@ArtisOpus]

Be patient dude :) New techniques always take adjustment. It is almost certainly down to dilution and quantity if paint on the brush 😊

True, I know practice makes perfect ^^ But experimenting is part of the fun too :) Kinda wanted an Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom, feel. But your glowing neon buildings were too awesome, so I had to try atleast!

[@ArtisOpus]

Luckily, this is super easy - comprehensively dust your drybrush off elsewhere (do not make it wet OR make sure it is 100% dry) and you can just use that as a duster. Hope this helps, please share your progress on socials or send it to our email🤩

[@ArtisOpus]

Absolutely, check out our other videos!

[@sasserine]

This could work on ghosts and energy beings, as well as scenery. The purple seems unintuitive, until you take a look at the colour wheel. It's not just that the shadows are actually purple, but looking at a bright light tricks your brain into 'correcting' the unlit area, like if you looked at a light bulb, and have a negative after image.

[@ArtisOpus]

I've never given it so much in-depth thought, it's just something that I tried and knew it worked. It's great to know the reasons why it does though. Thank you! 😊

[@sasserine]

@@ArtisOpus It may work in the other direction. If the wall was grey, that same green-white would look opaque and dull, like a covering of lichen. Exaggerating the shadows tricks your brain, to thinking your eyes have been overloaded by the green-white, misinterpreting it as a light-emitting source. Either way, it's an optical illusion. Any opticians in the thread want to weigh in?

[@timgayfer3939]

I love the look and use of the fluorescent Green and yellow. I'm having trouble acquiring these Vallejo paints. Are there fluorescent substitutes that you could recommend?

[@Ljevid01]

This is the perfect solution for a terrain project I'm working on. How would you do 2 to three story buildings? A slower broader transition or repeat this process for every floor?

[@ArtisOpus]

You guessed it dude! Another approach would be to draw the darkest colour up higher (proportionally) and do the others only slightly extended, in theory it's however you like though (e.g. if you want more blue stage showing aesthetically).

[@Ljevid01]

@@ArtisOpus Did it. The effect is quite nice (even bought your brushes), but it is a tad too spooky/ ghost ship looking. Do you have any advice which colors to use for a night time scenery? Blue and greys?

[@paulofreire7520]

Very cool!

[@ArtisOpus]

Cheers Paulo!

[@GirlPainting]

an interresting technik. i think though it would be better to use this as an OSL from a direct source of light, for example a campfire and then use oranges ionstead of green. the green would look good with some added green glowing light crystals or something...nevertheless impressive work :)

[@ArtisOpus]

Thank you, the technique works perfectly for this, it is easier to demonstrate on a larger area, but you can take all of these concepts and use them with smaller brushes in a smaller area! I’ve just added a previous example to our Instagram: instagram.com/p/CA3TkQrHv2k/?

[@GirlPainting]

@@ArtisOpus yes, for OSL this looks realy nice :) thx for sharing

[@stevexl7747]

Very nice effect. I'd love to see a similar approach but with 2 contrasting colours. Like a cyberpunk city lit by neon. Maybe a magenta light source from 1 direction and a cyan light source contrasting from a different direction. Do you think that would be possible with this technique?

[@ArtisOpus]

I think it would yeah, we're also currently experimenting with harsh light and shadows using masking tape... feel there's something there but it is taking some figuring out! Could be great for search lights or open doorways in back streets etc!

[@IkedaTeramusa]

This is fantastic. How do you choose your colors for the Blues and Purples when you know your endgame is the light greens/yellows? Someone linked this video for a question I had on FB about considering doing a monochrome/grayscale to expand my horizons.

[@ArtisOpus]

Hi Will, great question... and quite a difficult one to answer. The first time I did this it was basically picking my favourite types of [colour] and putting them in a row, the ones I chose are deep, colour well over black, and play nice! Some paints drybrush better than others, which is why you see our favourites pop up frequently! That is awesome to hear, there's actually incredible potential in doing this technique in greyscale, and then selectively washing/highlighting areas (Sin-City style) if you want to do something really striking, red works perfectly, but you could pick anything you liked... as there's no other colours to mess with your pallet :).

I really like the pallet you are using - did you make it from scratch, or is it Artis Opus product available to buy somewhere ?

How do you clean your drybrush after painting like this? I'd very much like to try this method but I worry I'll need 30$ worth of brushes alone :/

Amazing version. I love it. But, how would you paint the wooden planks with this colour scheme?

[@ArtisOpus]

If you can wait a couple of videos time we’ll show you! 😊 It is almost exactly the same, just changing colours. We’d probably choose to have darker colours at the ends of the planks, and lighter in the middle.

Artis Opus so so cool!!! Thank you. I’ll wait 😅
