High Quality Speed Painting - The GW Steps but BETTER!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

A different way to think about and work with the classic 3 Games Workshop steps! ps: my classes at the LAS VEGAS OPEN 2024 (January 18-21st) are out!!! Be quick with the trigger 😉 from the super handy dedicated linktree! ▶ linktr.ee/marcolvo2024

Can I request a speedpaint tutorial for a vampire in red armour or a Blood Angel?

[@N00b_Bot]

Hi Marco, what paints were you using for the robe washes (darkish purple & yellow). If they're oils is there an equivalent acrylic type of paint that could achieve similar results? Thanks.

[@001leben6]

Always a master class !! I cross my fingers to Watch a tyranids schema tutorial on your KZbin chanel 🙏🤞🏻

[@GSeppe]

Ciao Marco hai in programma corsi in Italia? Grazie!

[@reubenmccallum3350]

It wilds me that there's still residual resistance to airbrushes as a tool out there. We spend hundreds of dollars on models in this hobby, often on models that languish unpainted, but we won't spend a relatively small amount on a great tool that will let you do things only achievable by hours of painstaking brushwork.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Precisely THAT!

[@Trinioutsider34]

What I find even stranger is the discourse about using an Airbrush to paint miniatures. Some people in the hobby view it as cheating.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@Trinioutsider34 yeah it's an old thing coming from the glorification of super smooth glazed blendings of late '90 early 2000 (when we discovered glazes 😅) and the envy of old school wargamers used to spend years to paint a single army 🤣 The "you have to suffer for your hobby" it's still a thing in small pockets! But it's just a tool that's also not that easy and automatic to use!

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

I’m new to airbrushing, matter of fact, new to painting minis. So the terror of using airbrush is still fresh in my mind. I absolutely love airbrush now, but it took me 2 years to open the airbrush box that I purchased. I’m not usually reluctant to try new things or being intimidating, but there was something about of airbrushing made me so resistant to it. It’s still early in my journey, and I have my noobs moments and struggles but opening that box and plugging that compressors I have to say have made me really happy.

[@arzer114]

I mean, in my case it’s my living conditions. I can only devote so much time to paint during the day, which doesn’t give me a lot of time to set up take down and clean an airbrush during my breaks from work, and when I get off work I live in an apartment so a compressor is too loud to use, and the quiet ones are out of my budget range 😅

[@gregcharlebois2674]

You've blown it wide open Marco! Awesome painting as usual; your English diction and pronunciation is getting much clearer from even last year. Keep on killing it dude!

[@augustotanaka]

Marco, I'm speechless with the amount of technique so densely packed in these paints with such efficiency! Contratulations.

[@rikardsandstrom]

There are many painters on KZbin but your visual style and workflow resonates with me. Your speedpaint jobs are now my gold standard! I would love to see more of when to use which hue of oil paint, connecting theory with practice.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

See you later at the premiere and on TWITCH immediately after the release!!! 😘 www.twitch.tv/marcofrisoninjm

[@KrullMaestaren]

I give the video a thumbs up in the beginning because I know this will be interesting, as always 🙂👍

[@AlvaroGonzalez-zv4ft]

Same!!

[@kylemccormick8311]

Great video! I really appreciate how you take the time to explain the thought behind the steps in your paint schemes. It gives a lot of context that other painting tutorials don’t have and makes your content feel more enriching!

[@droghtak]

This video is in my opinion the deepest and fullest of profound meaning you have published, I have watched it several times since the premier and I must say it's the one I love the most from yours, and I think I have watched every other video at least twice, some of them tens of times. But this is the best imho.

[@robertjahnigen424]

Your technique is astounding. It gives relatively new miniatures a distinct Oldhammer vibe. Makes sense, as for example John Blanche's work is very much centrered around contrasts and texture more so than basic color areas.

[@PhoenixFeatherAirsoft]

Your videos improved my painting so much! Cheers from Germany and your closing in on the 100k 🎉

[@FigouzNet]

As a huge fan of Skavens (Painting from time to time a huge army since many years), i'm SOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS of your talent and capacity to paint in such a wonderful quality in ONLY few hours. Even after more than 35 years of hobby and painting, i'm not able to achieve such a productivity. Awesome content as always !

[@dirigoallagash3464]

OMG! Thank you for pointing out the silliness that is 'edge highlighting'! It looks ridiculous and not the least bit realistic. I feel triggered.🤣 Always a pleasure watching these, Marco. Good stuff!

[@lord1napalm]

This result is completely crazy for 5 hours. And it looks indeed funnier than edge highlight ! Another great video, thanks.

[@DareToWonder]

im doing Deadzone Veer-Myn (sci-fi rat men - Skaven with fancy guns) and i followed your work process for it, im satisfied with the result, espcially for a first time

[@darkside2329]

I would love to take some classes in this technique. Every time I see you paint this way it just feels so 'normal' and I wonder why anyone wouldn't just do things this way all the time.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😁 That's the main workshop I'm bringing around 😁! It's really a super versatile approach that can be adapted into soooo many different forms; even using it just as a mindset to approach a piece!

[@42Robotnik]

Your videos got me into using oils, and it helped that they were on sale for 80% off at my Hobby Lobby. I feel like i’m almost there to getting my washes the correct consistency.

I love your way to paint minis! Your way helps me to improve me to paint Sci fi and Fantasy Minis. But I struggle to get it on my historical Minis, because I don't want them to look to fantasy. Maybe you could paint a pirate or viking or something else to show how you would do it. That would be absolute fantastic!

[@florianbuhr7553]

Wonderful video. Could you please elaborate on the utility of the Gouache paints used in the video? How are they different to other acrylic paints? Cheers

[@filippobosi]

Ciao Marco! Great video, the footage in (almost) real time really helps understanding your process and the search for efficiency. I'll take the chance to leave this comment with the hope that either you or other fellow painters can help me with a small issue I'm having with odourless thinner. My usual process is do basic colour blocking with acrylics then stain the miniature with oil paints or use an oil wash to shade recesses. From time to time, it has happened that regardless of the thinning ratio the oil wash would "rip away" the acrylic layer underneath. In the beginning I thought it was me being too hasty or rough with the brush, but then I started wondering about the odourless thinner because it happens particularly with one specific bottle. It's a cheap no-brand product that I got in an arts store, if it helps. This does not happen with "Tintoretto" 100% vegetal o.t., "Maimeri" o.t. and the traditional linseed oil/white spirit mix. In your experience, have you ever had similar issues - with odourless thinners of different brands having different solving power? Could this cheap odourless thinner just be straight white spirit/odourless turpentine - hence super aggressive? I understand it is a very generic question, but sometimes the labeling of products doesn't really help and I'm trying to troubleshoot before I eff up more paintjobs :D

[@samcurran1093]

Great video Marco! I have my fingers crossed that you will do the gellerpox infected some day

[@samcurran1093]

it's fate!

[@jameskelley2186]

I didn't see a pre-oil sealing coat in this video, but maybe you've covered this in a previous video and I don't remember or didn't see it. Are you locking the acrylics down with a coat of any particular varnish before you use the oils? It almost doesn't look like it, as the acrylic metallics seem to have their full gleam when the oils go on! What (if anything) is protecting the acrylics?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

I didn't use any varnish! Acrylics don't really need any protection (white spirit and oils don't have any chemical effect on dry acrylics, so they suffer only a bit of physical stress coming from the rubbing/cleaning stage) and I want the oils to soak into the previous layer to obtain the complex colour mixing so I don't put it barriers between them. I use varnish only to obtain particular effectt, like for example using gloss varnish to obtain crisp, super precise panel lines with clean surroundings!

Looks like I need to start collecting Skaven sooner than I thought…

[@bpronka]

Awesome!

[@Zaphodox]

Chronometer! Good word Sir!

[@MrMarbolous]

How far ahead do you plan your layers? And how well would this approach work if you would want to add something like a camo pattern to the cloaks?

[@jpf338]

Wow this looks so cool, def. gonna try it with my Admechs, they seems fitting for this aproach. But I have a question, is this aproach fitting for every mini? Im wondering in minis where there is no one color that prevalent if this can be done, guess it is adaptable but seting the main tones with brushes. Will try and see!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Check my very first video if you are going for Admech! It's old, but the concepts are still gold 😉 Different models and tones need variations, of course, but the general flow is pretty versatile

Hi! I have a couple of videos about starting with the airbrush but in terms of purchasing pens they all boil down to "start with an H&S Evolution" 😅 Perfect cost/performance balance to start with!

[@wingwalker007]

Hey marco…. When you were going through the steps to remove the oil wash you used cotton buds and make up sticks. We’re they both used with white spirits and for the purpose of removing the oil paint or was the makeup sticks also used to blend/feather the oils?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Hi! You got it perfectly! I usually use q-tips to do the heavy lifting and remove the biggest part of the excess of paint (they are cheap and expendable, but not very precise), with and/or without white spirit depending on the impact I want to leave on the acrylic layer, and the make-up sponges for a quick general blending and refining (no solvent here); the soft consistency of the sponge gently blends and feathers the remaining micro excess creating the final smoothness and a lovely more mat finish!

[@riccardogarzelli]

Vampire blood bowl team next, possibly purple armor

[@mitchellsmith2443]

Would you suggest trying this with brushes? Still working on getting an airbrush set up.

Hello Marco, Between the first application of the oils and the use of the ear buds to remove the excess, how long should the oils be left to dry?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

There's no precise rule for that and it depends on how much interaction/staining you want between the acrylic and oil layers. In this particular case, knowing how staining these brands and tones are, I clean the first model immediately after the wash on the last model of the bunch! You can see how wet the paint is on the boss before the first pass with the q-tip
