How to Paint Non-Metallic Copper - HC 448

[@TheGImp1214]

This guy is our bob ross. I dont even paint any more i just like that he shows me how to make something pretty

[@Jigsaw765]

Yeah especially without all the frivolous, over the top, and fake youtuber bullshit. I can’t stand 99% of miniature hobby KZbinrs, but Vince is high quality and chill

[@iLiKeFooDNuMNuM]

For real. I'm way too intimidated by the idea of doing NMM, but I love watching him teach how to do it.

[@dances4980]

I never would have thought of using that pale green color for highlights for copper. fantastic job with this video. Thanks as always.

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad it was helpful!

[@the_sigil4340]

Thank you Vince. Introducing these greens seems like a game changer ! Now, all I have to do is practice till I can make some decent copper ^^

[@Iverald]

You're truly an alchemist! Very few people can pull off believable copper, and you Sir, knocked it out of the park. :)

[@BoulderingEE]

I just tried this method and the results are great. My second “try hard” nmm and there’s no doubt it’s supposed to be copper. Thanks Vince!!

[@VinceVenturella]

Great to hear!

[@kingkreaghan]

Absolutely love how you teach! No one does it better!

[@sstinger0137]

While I enjoy knowing rough ratios as a bit of a shortcut, I really appreciate you forcing my hand in making me paint by eye.

[@basstedson]

The king of the timely video strikes again. Just about to start my txarli factory monarch for kings of war. Was looking to push the boat out on it a little and this could be the prefect thing to try.

[@galatician8063]

Always appreciate the color theory. Wow does that copper look good! I like the blue and other shades in the background that just make it pop! This tomb king looks regal! And thanks for always going further!!!

[@jarlbeorn]

I have been smashing my face into the NMM technique lately and this video certainly helps

[@Bloodthirstier]

This came at the best time. One of my D&D player's character is a Copper Warforge and he brought me his mini to paint and I'd love to try out NMM for the first time on something special

[@VinceVenturella]

Awesome, I love warforged!

[@markgnepper5636]

I love all Vince Venturella's videos👏👍🤙

[@Omegaterrain]

Timing of this couldn't be more perfect! I've been practicing NMM copper on my Iron Golems warband (RIP).

[@VinceVenturella]

You can do it!

[@Roboytron]

Best painting guides ive ever seen. Just starting to paint my second AoS army and these videos are helping a ton.

[@VinceVenturella]

Wonderful to hear!

[@billdefranza4927]

Excellent lesson. Thank you, Vince!

[@kevinhayes517]

Great tutorial…lots of tips on th NMM copper and looking forward to trying some of them on an upcoming figure.. thanks very much for your time and teaching!

[@VinceVenturella]

Have fun!

Nice tutorial. Thank you Professor Vince!

My pleasure!

You’re great Vince! Thanks !

[@harrisonlorens3585]

Incredible work as always, Vince. Thanks for the free knowledge 🙏

[@VinceVenturella]

My pleasure!

[@Mikey__R]

Vince, I think one of your strengths is painting things the actual colours they should be, rather than the colours we all think they are. Your metallics, either TMM or NMM, gold, steel, bronze or copper, end up matching your reference photos very convincingly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as ever. But I think Larry is looking quite gaunt, has he been on a diet?

[@docbun]

Nice video and technique, Vince! Thanks. I can't wait for your bronze NMM going into more browny metals. ;)

[@tomnowicki1408]

thank you , vince. never made this but now i will ty nmmcopper

[@danielkearney1815]

I've finally remembered to ask (only taken a couple of months of reminding myself, then forgetting) what the lights are over your painting/studio area in front of your monitors Vince? Thank you for the video sir!

[@VinceVenturella]

The light is from Game Envy, you can find the link in the description, but here you go, I also did a full review of it - Game Envy Lucent Light: gameenvy.net/?ref=vinceventurella COUPON CODE: vinceventurella (10% off)

[@zippy5131]

I am always amazed at your painting, as i don't paint anything larger than 15mm. My hat is doffed to you my good sir.

[@VinceVenturella]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@craigknights873]

Hey Vince! Great video! I've recently picked up the 40K Ultimate Starter kit and am gonna make the Space Marines into Salamanders. Any advice on how to go about painting their skin/eyes/mouth? I'm comfortable with skin tones usually, but I'm afraid of making the minis very visually uninteresting if something as important as the face just fades into the background in the overall composition. Thanks in advance 😁

[@chucklamb3496]

Vince, another great video!

[@VinceVenturella]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smacky101]

Vince could you turn the background ambience nose/music track thingy up? like 5-10%? That's the only note I've got in like 50 videos of yours. Thank you from a hobbyist who needed videos like this!

[@neilatkinson174]

I find my issue with any NNM is that its not so much a technical challenge as it is a conceptual challenge in a much as I can't always picture where the highlights need to land, but try, try and try again and one day I'll get it right.

[@VinceVenturella]

It’s tough and it’s something that comes overtime as you think more about light and learn more about light and play more with NMM, but it’s a challenge for sure

[@phookaziz3]

Great lesson, green grey as a highlight is counterintuitive, but makes so much sense once you see it. Thank you. Love the choice to go with copper and that general cooler color scheme on this model. If we wanted to take the weathering further, would we work things up like you do here but go with a less subtle turquoise glazing, or comeback with a separate more chalky white+turquoise at a wash consistency? Sub question, if we are planning on going more intense with the weathering, should we invest the time in nmm copper, or just go with quality metallics and focus on the verdigris?

[@VinceVenturella]

Non-metallic metals and weathering are really their own conversation. It’s very complicated to do but effectively in simplest terms. Yes, I would just continue pushing the color tones. You see me using here up into hiding some of that verdigris up to a sort of white blue green in the shadows.

[@phookaziz3]

@@VinceVenturella thank you.

[@turnipslop3822]

Hey Vince, are there any differences you'd make for doing brass or is it much the same? I feel like brass is a slightly warmer hue but I'm not sure.

[@VinceVenturella]

Some additional slight inclusions of yellow, but similar.

[@krajen_paints]

Vincey V! My man, first up love the videos. Quick question, essentially any NMM is wet blending correct? I followed you wet blending video first and you said don't thin your paints. I've noticed I'm having an easier time blending NMM with the paint thinned. Is NMM blending the time you bend the thicker paint to blend rule? Thanks handsome!

[@VinceVenturella]

Different techniques for different goals. Working with thicker paints and wet blending is good for when you have large flat surfaces and need to establish travel of color (so large areas of skin, a cloak, etc.). Then you have smaller areas like this, where you need more to work in traditional layers, then you work thinner and thinner into glazes to bring it all together.

[@krajen_paints]

@@VinceVenturella thanks Vince 🖤

[@anselmoffrisia2930]

Great explanation. Based on how much time I spend on KZbin, my time isn't worth too much. How dare you draw my attention to it! 😅

[@willschuur7426]

Classic Saturday morning. See a new hobby cheating, think “hm, I’m not sure how I’ll use this, but I still want to learn”… cut to me changing up the scheme of my vampire blood bowl team to be basically NMM copper…😊

[@TheBaconator666]

Can someone answer this question for me, why is non metallic metals desired as opposed to you know metallic metals? I may have missed a whole thing but I just do t get it.

[@VinceVenturella]

Sure happy to answer so non-metallic metal allows you to control the light in a way that true metals do not with true metals. The light reflects wherever it reflects because it is a glossy service so your lighting scheme is literally locked to whatever light that figure happens to be sitting in in reality at that moment. With non-metallic metal you can create much more complex, nuanced, interesting, varied, toned shaped lighting experiences that you simply can’t do with metallic paints. Think of canvas painting when they’re doing metal and trying to create a lighting situation of where they figure on the canvas is standing they’re not using metallic paints. They’re using regular paints and then creating the illusion non-metallic metal as a concept and painting goes back to, original Chinese artwork from the 1600s BCE I believe where they were using black-and-white to create the effect of non-metallic in various paintings

[@fateweaver9844]

NMM is really only impressive for display pieces because they sit in a display case. Pick up a NMM painted mini and turn it around in your hands and look at it at different angles and NMM just looks like the non-metallic color used, ie brown, orange, red, etc

[@marcogarripoli9405]

Unfortunately, I'm currently not able to paint anymore. 1. Because of lack of time (in my opinion). 2. Because I'm too impatient and wish for better results faster. It's difficult for me to tell if I'm actually improving or if I'm stagnating. That's why I've put the entire hobby on hold for now. However, I still very much enjoy watching your videos which I continue to find very inspiring. Thank you for that And keep evolving. Never stay as you are, but always become a little bit better ❤️

[@BinxyBrown]

I feel you man, for me it was about reducing friction to paint, it's pretty uncommon I couldn't find an hour somewhere if everything else was ready. So that meant dedicated desk that's always ready with paints on hand, it meant buying more 3d prints so I didn't spend my time assembling models as much which I personally don't enjoy.
