How to paint an Ogre

[@fanoboss]

I find that watching you talk and paint is really relaxing to me :)

[@thehobypainter6622]

This ogre looks fantastic, your painting is so amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@strangetonic]

Nice video. :-) On the subject of primers, you can actually make your own primer in any (opaque) color you like. Golden sells a medium called GAC 200 that is designed for increased adhesion. (I think the major ingredient is Dow Rhoplex SS#4, which is for painting sports equipment.) YMMV, but you can start my mixing 1 part GAC 200, 1 part Liquitex matte medium (or whichever matte medium you use), and 2 parts paint. Then, thin this with whatever you usually use to thin paint for the airbrush.

[@BoHmontevideo]

Really really nice work. I am a huge fan of your painting videos

[@TheGinjosh]

as soon as i started to watch your vidz my painting got ALOT better so thanks alot

[@makooma]

I love this one. I like that you showed how to use the washes in the end as you normally use them in the beginning. I have to say though that i do not really like the pristine blue pants on such a savage looking model. but the paint job was done effectively so the color is just a matter of taste.

[@elliot241292]

I'm so happy you made this video!! i have been looking at starting an ogre army and for me, the most important part is painting. This video has answered so many of my questions! Thank you!

[@TheRivetts]

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.

[@kthejynwey]

Hello, I have watched your video but missed the reference you used with the Vallejo Pigments. If you don't mind, could you tell me which were the one you used? Cheers from France and congratulations for your amazing work, your minis looks as good (or even better) as the ones I can see in my local GW retrail store).

[@reevestroy]

Alexandria I have been a big fan and subscriber for quite a while now and I wanted to request a series of videos. I was really hoping you could do a series where you lay out all of your armies and make a detailed video of each one. I think that would be very popular. Thank you so much for all the videos. Your the best.

[@rutiguer2701]

One of the difficulties in painting this figure is the skin. Skin is always difficult to paint. The problem I see in any muscled figure is that combination of recesses and curved forms. Your technique is similar to Dave's Collimore, from Foundry: the 3 colors technique, but you add a final wash that improves the outcome. Great job.I like it.

[@JayAdan]

Back in the old days, Ral Partha used to sell a set of metallic waxes that you would apply with a makeup applicator like you use in this video. It was a great effect and it's interesting to see this same tool being used for another effect.

[@jullodk]

@GirlPainting You are AWESOME!!! and because of this toturial i am going to buy some OGRES!!! love your videos and KEEP IT GOING!!!

[@whittlepixels5633]

It's my time again to paint an ogre. I did a search and sure enough, you have the expertise I need. Thank you.

[@GirlPainting]

well, there you pulled out an old one ^^ have fun with it

[@luife2]

This is your cleanest work and I´m happy with this tutorial. I really like the paintjob, and remember you can get a high level if you want: you have demostrate it in this video.

[@CrimsonLord224]

i nearly paint at the standard of judgegudge nowadays but i have to say, i started to really get better when i learned your techniques! :) and even for experianced painters, sometimes something new can be learned from your vids :) great work and thanks

[@DrGimongi]

[@GirlPainting]

Geerladenlad warplock bronze

[@Geerladenlad]

***** Thank you! Great tutorial by the way!!

[@troulfik]

terracotta is not XV88 dude :)

[@ItsStevieBoy]

troulfik what is it?

[@Connman613]

Hey alexandra, i just finished my first box of iron guts. Could not have done it without you and Warbosstae, the result are amazing. Im entering them into a paint competition at my GW. ill make a shout out if i can find my camera

[@miedde]

Happy New Year and congrats for your first video of the new year. The ogre came out great. I was wondering if you can give the warriors of chaos some love and do a tutorial on one. Maybe the Nurgle Chaos Lord we be good. I have one to paint, but not sure how it should look.

[@Godsraptor]

Thanks so much for posting these videos. You have mad skills and I've learned sooooo much from watching.

[@PlayBoye86]

What color would you use now that you cant buy "Calthan Brown" anymore? The Conversion Chart says "Mournfang Brown", but I just think it looks to dark? And what sand do you use? - Is it your own mixture? Hope you will answer all my questions :)

[@Melkor1205]

Great Video. I learned quite a few things... thanks alot!

[@dafticaldandy]

i love the new intro! i can see you made it so it wasn't too loud which is a freaking fantastic idea! n__n

[@ATOMTAYLOR]

Great tutorial yet again, thanks for taking the time to post all these great vids. ;)

[@PlayBoye86]

Hi Alex! I love your painting. I just started a OKn army and I would like to follow alot of the steps you do, but I have one question. I like to use Army Painter Strong Shade for all the "shadow" effects. Can I use it after the miniature is done without ruin the really cool rusty effect?

[@burzug]

on my ogres trousers I paint a tartan pattern. I also like the blue colour you are using

[@Cabilis66]

Great Job Alexandra, it was a very good tutorial. :-)

[@jaypo7]

Great detailed Video! Well Done mate nice work!

[@tiers93]

Absolutely brilliant! Well done!

[@InquisitorButtercup]

Erstmal gute Besserung. Sehr schicke Mini. Aber was benutzt du um die Pigmente zu fixieren?

[@bryleefaith]

any way you could do Thranduil from the hobbit minis? I'm getting one for my birthday on the 29th and i would love to get some advice on it. and keep making the videos i love them.

[@BoreBone]

This is Ogretastic, Shrektacular, and Layermazing.

[@meandfriendstv]

Aus dieser Figur sowas geiles zu zaubern...echt ne Meisterleistung^^

[@Jejse17]

@GirlPainting Thanks for the answer! I think I'll start by using alcohol to remove it, since I'm a bit worried that repainting it will fill the gaps between the teeth etc. :)

[@willwebster5820]

hmmm - I find it pretty easy to do the Ogre in bright skin tone style. Base in Talern Flesh, Wash in Ogryn Flesh all over, Build up layers back up with Tallern, wash the recess only in Ogryn again then Highlight over the musculature in either Dwarf Flesh or a 1:1 mix of Tallern and Deheneb Stone depending on the finish you want. I like Alexandra's Tutorial tho:P

[@Thulsa13]

What size brush are you using? I am new to miniature painting and I am not really sure what brush sizes are the best.

[@Christian-oh7lx]

i like your tutorials. they are very helpful! Danke dir :)

[@Mongoosejack]

The pig is so cool! :)

[@Tapewormz]

Ogres in the GW fantasy universe are my favorite.

[@AdventuresWithNicB]

Use a grey primer on a grey model. SEEMS LEGIT. Nah, in all honesty these vids are awesome. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@silverbackseven7]

you know, you have such a nice blend of sand i really think that it doesn't need the drybrushing.

[@KGGR]

i prefer grey because you can see more easily the details of the miniature! can i use humbrol paints???? please answer!!! keep the good work!

[@GirlPainting]

i don´t know this paints. can´t answer that question

[@KGGR]

this paints is for miniatures...anyway! you use acrylic colors? citadel is acrycil paints?

[@GirlPainting]

yes and yes

[@KGGR]

ok thank you!!! greetings from greece!!!

[@RzXStriPes]

i think it would be awesome if u tried to paint your nails like you did in your powersword tutorial with lightning and stuff :)

[@slicemup9]

What colours would you reccomend to use with scab red to get the same effect you got on the pants with the layers of colours.

[@mrx87329]

@Gansherx Warhammer dont do steampunk - esp 45mm like SMOG , her painting is great though

[@davidwhite3293]

Liebe Deine Arbeit! Die Videos helfen mir so viel!!!

[@strtrst]

you are a good painter!!!

[@Theslatermaster32]

you said you'renot the bestat painting, are you crazy? You're awesome!

[@Davy.J.Y]

[@killerkerr1961]

[@cpsilvermanpro]

[@renotyuk]

thank you! like your videos! keep up the good work! :)

[@07waylow]

another great video can you please go over spellcasting and magic in LOTR games thanks again

[@residentsicko]

Vodka as pigment fixer!? Absolute classic. As long as you don't have a little swig while waiting for layers to dry?

[@joewillmot1960]

ur a great warhammer painter and I ask could u paint a gondor soildier :]

[@khalek666]

another awesome vid alex. keep 'em comin =)

[@oscarlarsen2336]

That was a very nice tutorial, and that is why i would like to requst a tutorial on how to paint a mournfang, if that is something you would be interesseret in :)

[@Goldschmitt]

Hahaha, same for me XD Tried to gave them a burnt skin look, but they are more african-black. They skill look awesome tought!

[@jnulpi]

she is a woman.what are these idiotic questions.she would show some paint techniques.what is wrong about.i am happy that someone can show the painting techniques part by part because i hate painting.

[@wolfiuz1]

No need for derogatory language. The uploader has taken valuable time out of their day in order to give painting tutorials, and you go and insult her. Bravo.

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

do you still have the very first figure you ever painted?

[@FireBird7766]

Wouldn't the step on the base using snakebite leather be known as overbrushing?

[@sarico7827]

Thanks for the tut and well I have gotten upset about flesh colors

[@EveofBattle]

You got owned ya hippi!

[@kudde222]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!!!!

[@Darsaan]

[@brittenclark]

[@karihlynsson]

[@comissar1998]

[@alexanderbilbo]

which country are you from ?

[@Jejse17]

I just used too much black wash on a big skull attached to a horsehead yesterday - it's way too dark now :( Is there any way I can fix it?

[@ChaplinAustin]

Amazing intro lol, great tutorial as well.

[@gortypunk]

Think i'd sold on Vallejo pigments, just the rust effect my vamps need.

[@dannyrobb1711]

he kinda looks like a construction workers whose got really angry at his boss

[@ofufakku]

It's all ogre now.

[@feralstryke]

very nice

[@unkhter]

nice tutorial, thx

[@cakehunter111]

Hi can you reply to me with the colours you used?:)

[@BLASTO5614]

@Girlpainting you should make a DVD

[@thijsgroeneweg6433]

do you know what kind of citadel paint i need to use for rust

[@lilreddudeable]

@GirlPainting Well you quite clearly have the time and patience considering you paint minis all day and make videos of the painted minis.

[@thijsgroeneweg6433]

why do you first paint the skin brown/red and then a flesh color

[@BLASTO5614]

AMAZING!!

[@TheGreatAnnubus]

After 10 minutes is way better then mine so everything else is just going to make me feel bad :p

[@joshdelamortquituehloranna9310]

You're not son good in painting ?!!! It's a bad joke ! You're incredible !! It's wonderful !!! Keep going !

[@LTModels]

Ok, so I know that she said this is table top quality, but I thought that the base color for the flesh was a little too dark and that's why there's a lot of contrast....... BUT I thought it was good overall, Flesh is probably one of the hardest, if not, the hardest tones to accomplish. also, if anyone can tell me the two names she mentions on this video I would appreciate it.

[@ManicRay]

You mention this is table top standard. I'm pretty certain with the amount of colour tones you are using this constitutes as a masterclass standard or 'eavy metal at worst lol

[@IRandomGameplays]

Can you please do a ghazghkull thraka job please?

[@AlexWeislak]

Does anyone know if she was using a wash or an actual color for when she was creating the shadows at 5:45?

[@renotyuk]

Where did you get this figure? Looks cool
