Dinner plate for a palette, because he's serving up some good tutorials.

[@SiggyCloud]

That and it's ceramic so doesn't absorb moisture, keeping the paint workable for longer...Jus' sayin'~

[@cartouchator]

@Grant Wilson I recommend making yourself a wet palette. Not only will that solve your problem but the leftover paint can be used again the next day. Look up Darren Latham's channel on how to make one, before he deletes his videos on the 18th of may (games workshop is forcing him to terminate his channel)

[@zamnodorszk7898]

The citadel pallet dries out the paint, it's so infuriating.

[@njkf]

ANALYSIS: Comparison to GW videos: - 0:09 Citadel miniature = uses Citadel paints. - 0:10 Lord Duncan now has multiple camera angles for his intro speech. Dramatic lighting, good speech. - 0:33 New title animation, music and a cool finished model shot+title card. - 0:47 The painting style is like the GW style videos: Undercoat, basecoat, shade etc. - 0:53 Obviously, a change of background. Lighting is good. Watermark in bottom left, logo t-shirt. - 1:00 He mentions The Army Painter alternatives for Citadel products. Paint is listed with a graphic. - 1:28 Palette is now not Citadel, but just a ceramic plate (no wet palette either). Palette cam is now in a zenithal position. - 2:00 Transitions and sounds like GW videos. - 2:24 The Army Painter brush alternative mentioned. - 2:38 Twist brush classic Duncan tip. - 3:09 GREEN transition (colour from watermark+logo) - 3:53 BLUE transition (colour from watermark+logo) - 4:43 TWO THIN COATS - 4:47 ORANGE transition (colour from watermark+logo) - 5:19 Citadel brush mention. - 5:42 You can paint wash straight from the pot, not necessarily apply it to the palette. - 6:30 Still have to wait an hour for a wash to dry. - 8:06 Two thin coats - 9:06 Same style example as GW videos: Introduce areas to be painted+paints used. - 15:00 Edge highlighting. - 15:39 Flipped model. - 20:34 Mentions transfers and basing, does not show process. - 20:42 Music and a transition from unpainted to painted miniature. (Before/after shots) - 20:56 Outro is now speech, standing, multiple camera angles (mirrored from the intro speech) - 21:09 No longer are the bullet points for key learnings listed, but Duncan talks about key topics. - 21:27 Website link, copyright. - Camera quality, speech content and sound quality are all good as with the GW videos. - Editing is very similar to the old GW videos. - The KZbin description box has an intro written in third person singular (he) about Duncan, maintaining a professional distance to the viewer - yet, it switches to first person plural (our, us) later and adresses the viewer directly (you), implying a more personal tone. The links in the description are for the personal social media accounts of Duncan. Listed also are all the paints used. - KZbin comments are open, and Duncan (and his collaborator, Roger) now reply to comments from viewers in first person plural (we). They adress the viewer directly in second person singular/plural in the comments, implying a personal tone of voice. Sometimes, even names are mentioned when adressing commenters. They now take feedback and suggestions from commenters. Smileys are used by @Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy.
