How to use Oil Paints : Crimson Fists Space Marines Part 1

[@PhthaloGreenskin]

We need more channels focusing on oil painting minis. I primarily use oils for skin tones and shiney black armor.

[@omegonedge]

Thanks buddy, its been a long road to get to this point, but we definitely need more resources for oil painting, hopefully these tutorials will fill the void we have at the moment

[@BeepBoop2221]

Don Sorutos does good oil videos too, it's cool to see Omegon Edge having a yt too

[@omegonedge]

@@BeepBoop2221 he does indeed though I think he uses a more common technique with them at the moment. Hopefully we will see more people try this one as the project continues

[@BeepBoop2221]

@@omegonedge I'd love to see your take on the salamanders or iron warriors using oils. Not that I'm planning those armies >.>

[@omegonedge]

😂😂 I do have a green legion coming up soon, no promises tho 😅

[@leedobson]

Beautiful work, great to see younger modellers discovering oil paints, in the 1970's it was the standard for military miniature figure painting

[@omegonedge]

The rise was coming as soon as I knew I could paint minis with oils haha love it

[@DylanSides]

Huge fan of oil painting at this scale, and on 3d printed resin busts. Love the results and presentation. Please stick with these videos, I was really happy (and surprised) to see something new show up among the usual limited output of videos on this topic.

[@JunoMeHistory]

looks really good! i like the way you broke down your process with the references and all!

[@Ynffy]

Looking fantastic! I have switched to almost only painting with oils. Even details. They are so precise.

[@solidzaku2]

Finally found a dedicated oil paint mini channel. Plenty of other content creators dabble with it, but I want to see from someone who dedicates themself to it. Subbed.

[@user-ry1qw2vy6l]

I love the commentating and the great paint scheme as everyone else can’t wait for part 2

[@omegonedge]

Thanks homie much more to come and looking forward to share that with you.

[@harrisonlorens3585]

You rock, man. Thank you so much for these easy tutorials. Your channel is bound for success.

Thanks man too kind! Much more this came from

Great video, love the detailed explanation and the effectiveness of your technique. Defo can't wait for part 2

[@omegonedge]

Awesome, thank you brother! Next up is the first! Glad you enjoyed this 🎉

[@JP-dv7rf]

I've watched quite a lot of videos on oils and this is the first one in which things have just clicked for me. Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing where your channels goes!

[@omegonedge]

Dope homie! Happy to hear that, was there anything in particular that helped things to make sense?

[@herohiroguy]

This was a good video, I really like the painting techniques you used, I have been inspired not only to start a Crimson First Kill Team after I have finished my Salamanders Army but to also ad a Crimson First Marine to my Death Watch team as well, looking forward to your next video.

[@omegonedge]

Thats what i love to hear homie! Glad its inspired you. Death Guard are on the list too so stay tuned 🎉

[@clive_maloney]

This is awesome. I've never seen anyone paint minis in oil before. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Stambled across this as I was looking at doing oils for my own miniature painting. Got to say it really looks a lot more flexible. Keep to this thick-thin layering will catch me out, most likely. Thanks for the video, really helpful.

Wow, excellent work on that. Looking forward to seeing more. You might even inspire me to give oils a go when attempting NMM (seeing as my acrylic efforts have been useless 🤣)

water soluble oils are a thing also, for those who dont like to use thinners.

[@philcampbell1293]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[@omegonedge]

You’re welcome 😊 🎉

[@nemhod]

Loved this! Great debut, but I do have some questions, since I want to maximise the learning. So the first one is an assumption, and that is that you airbrushed the contrast paints on? Followed by a question/suggestion. When you did your glaze priming, your explanation was great, but I think it could help people like me to see you prepare that, since I almost assumed you dropped the thinner on the paint. And working with paints to me is also working your palette, so that could be beneficial for inexperienced oil painters like me to see. The last question for now is, how long does it take for a layer to dry? I do not know how long you spend between the blue layers, but one of the things you always hear is that un-thinned oil paint takes ages to dry, so that threw me off a couple of times.

[@omegonedge]

Thanks Homie! I did note that as i watched it back and its already corrected in the next section. So thanks for calling that out. So because we are using wet paint first and then blending thick paint into it, it ends up thinning out to a nice crisp layer. - this allows the paint to go from thick to thinned so it dries much faster. As lond as you’ve blended it will dry after a couple of hours - and dry to touch over night. Hope that helps and will keep you up to date

[@nemhod]

@@omegonedge yep, thanks for the extra info, looking forward to part 2. Amazing to see moving footage after the guide you wrote :D

[@omegonedge]

awesome stuff, keep pushing your highlights!!! it still looked a tad flat

[@omegonedge]

Thanks buddy, no sweat this is only the first layer keep your eyes peeled for the next episode. Layer 1 is all about blocking out the colours

[@CarlMartin_1982]

Hey man. Came back and rewatched this a few times to get myself prepared. Going to try and produce some EC marines using oil. One question I had was relating to the prime glaze. Do you have to reapply that every time you paint? Say if I only have an hour or so to paint. And want to come back to it the next day, do I need to reapply or will the layer down suffice?

[@omegonedge]

So let’s use the EC as an example, You’ve done one layer of the leg and you come back a few hours later, you will still need to do a prime glaze but not using pigment, just a very very thin layer of thinner and then you can use your opaque high light colour onto of that. This will prevent you from needing to change the colour. The prime glaze is usually made darker because it allows us to blend our lights into the shadows and vice versa. If you need help ping me. But I’ll do a demo for this when we begin our fundamentals series

[@robertlavery6896]

When you say that it's easier to mix dark into light, does that apply to all paints, or is it oil specific?

[@omegonedge]

All paints, universal rule for pigments in general

[@robertlavery6896]

@@omegonedge I will take this to heart, it's probably the reason why my blending sometimes turns out poorly.

[@donfather4632]

How toxic are the pigments in the oil paints on the skin? I know that some pigments shouldn't be eaten : ) but I see a lot of artist with gloves. Even with masks.

[@omegonedge]

Oil paints are not dangerous so long as they’re not ingested. So just make aure to wash your hands with soap. The masks are for the spirit which is why i recommend painting in a well ventilated room.

[@PhthaloGreenskin]

Be careful with cadmium pigments. Cadmium is highly toxic if ingested. It's a carcinogen.
