[@impooser]

Wow, this is by far the clearest explanation on glaze and wash. Thanks!!!!

[@defcol]

Totally agree!

[@tomstone6897]

Your unique approach to teaching is great. I've probably had the difference explained about 15 times and I have a better understanding watching you for 12 minutes. Thank you.

[@Michaeljack81sk]

Great demonstration thanks! tbh ive always been a bit confused as to washes vs glazes, glad someone set the record straight for me!

[@TheGreensideProject]

Very nice. I had been trying to make a wash using only medium, didnt know about adding water as well. Thank you very much.

[@JB-tc8el]

Great explanation/description thank you!

[@barneymatherly3685]

A watery wash actually has MORE (not less) surface tension... hence it does not "dissolve and spread" over a surface, but rather gathers itself as a drop on the crevasses...

[@KenLeonhardt]

That was definitely helpful! Thank you very much for making things a little bit clearer! :)

[@alexwild1435]

Fantastic. Just what I needed to know. Thank you!

[@Anthony-pz7tl]

Fantastic stuff!

Cheers Gary!

[@TheGreensideProject]

No probs - hope you can use some of the ideas!

[@CaptainCirion]

Thx for your detailed explaination! Just a question from me, that turned up in your last step. I normally create a wash from a layer or better base color in combination with destilled water (no chalk = no clustered pigments)...what is the effect of lahmian medium in terms of washes? It has no pigments, so I wonderes if it realy makes sense to use it for a wash (and not water alone).

[@209cgrant]

So let's say I want to give my Skitarii Vanguard a blue tint on their iron bits But I have limited colours. Do I mix Lahmian with the Incubi Darkness I have until happy with the consistency and then apply as I would an ink/wash?

Great info. Subscribed!

[@BathTubNZ]

Great reference. thanks!

[@KRESHNEVIC]

Nice, Lamiha medium turns a paint into a wash or ink, thanks

[@TheGreensideProject]

Not a problem at all!

[@TheGreensideProject]

Cheers again, Mr Git!

[@oldgit]

well explained sir!!!

[@miedde]

Great video. I was a little unclear as to the difference between a wash and glaze.

[@davedogge2280]

Say I use Zenithian priming with black, grey and white primer on my space (ultra)marine miniature but then I want to glaze it with a macragge blue color BUT macragge blue is a base paint not a layering paint and I know that with Citadel Lahmian medium (a glaze medium) they only recommend you use it with Citadel Layer paints. So how can I glaze with a Macragge Blue colour then ? I keep reading in places that Citadel Base paints are 'too opaque' too be thinned down with a GLAZE MEDIUM and to be used as a glaze... dunno why. The other thing i noticed is that that purple paint you used is just too thin, the pigment is stretched out unevenly (even for a glaze), was that a Citadel base paint or one of the heavy Vallejo base paints ?

[@anab0lic]

Seems like you would have got the same result as the first model on the second one if you had used the same amount on the brush lol?

[@Benmarley85]

it looks to me its more to do with the dencity of the paint rather than how much paint is actually on the brush.

[@tooncraft3d]

Anyone getting in for the Rocket Pig Games Monster Miniature Kickstarter?

[@patrickroberts8728]

You can get a huge bottle of glaze medium for a fraction of the price as gw.

[@noshadow666]

Freddy Mercury glaze medium is chemically different though, lahmian medium is literally just matt varnish, that's it. For this kind of thing glaze medium might be good, I think personally pigment binder would work better as it usually tends to have better viscosity for minis, and also seems like it has more retarder as I usually find it can take almost twice as long to dry at times. Annoying if you want to get on and do more work on the thing, but good on large areas where you want to blend lots at a time without it all drying before you've blended everything you want to.

[@V081WLBlue]

Didn't know Russell Grant painted minis :-P

[@SeeM00n]
