a BETTER Way to Paint Warhammer! or Anything Else

[@Liopot68]

I feel like a lvl. 1 rogue who just encountered a lvl. 99 wizard...

[@zergstirfry]

It’s like watching a god playing around, effortless greatness

[@Chevalerezk]

Not only are you an extraordinary painter, but also a profound and very intelligent human being. I truly love it here :)

[@davidJsound]

Every time I hear what you are saying, I see what you are doing but there is always this "what the hell happened" moment where I realize how great it looks without grasping how it got there despite having seen all the steps.

[@andrewamann2821]

If i might offer a bit of unsolicited advice, it sounds like your too focused on the technical aspects of the work. My own approach to Marco's videos are to dive into them twice. The first watch is purely listening, working ro visualize the work, as described, and taking in the theory parts, both spoken, and implied, so i can come to an understanding of how i would execute the work, if the script was the only thing i had to go off of. Once i have a clear image in my head, of process and result, i come back, and compare it to what's actually being worked on. Some people are all about "trusting the process," and if all your looking to do is ape someone else's results, it'll almost get you there, but there's something to be said for interrrogating the process, as well. If you understand the "how," but don't really grasp the "why," you're going to get stuck when you want to get an idea out of your head, and onto the mini. If, on the other hand, you have a firm grasp on the "why," the "how" becomes irrelevant, because you can plan your approach based on the skills you have, and/or need to develop.

An interesting, different take on painting gaming miniatures! See you later in chat and on TWITCH immediately after the Premiere!!! 👉 www.twitch.tv/marcofrisoninjm

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

DROP A LIKE to boost the diffusion of the video!!! 😘😘😘

[@thabien4711]

This color scheme and process is exactly what I was looking for but struggling to make it work. Thank you for uploading this vid!!

[@phillipchronister7035]

Wow...simply wow. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffanctil4857]

So happy to see you back with your regularly scheduled youtube content!! 😁

[@cronopi]

Absolutely, yes! More on cinematic dioramas would be cool

[@the_sigil4340]

I am glad you shared it with us!

[@patknez]

Thank for this one Marco. I enjoy seeing you work simply for your own sake. Beautiful finished product as well.

[@patknez]

also for the future pieces for a diorama I think that your style would do some wonderful pieces with the Mezgik Dredge marines on MMF.

[@Slaypi]

One for the Algo and i love these Videos. Acually i bought some books to push my own skills to the next level, in addition to my first ever application for a competition here in germany 😁 So thank you very much, you brought me to the point i started to find my own style of miniature painting

[@chance9979]

YES!!! More on micro-dioramas. They are the final piece of the, well piece, and really help to time the entire project together.

[@alancook1053]

Thank you for choosing to share!!

[@howardcoates6985]

absolutely incredible piece... that was incredible watching the light effects come to life.

[@MarcinEstkowski]

It is so fun to watch you paint. I enjoy your unique style and approach every time.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😊😁😊😘😘😘

[@uruk_bye1232]

Love your work and your attitude, as always. I really enjoy this scene as it reminds me of the old Beasts of Chaos art in their army books. I miss WHFB so much 😭

[@avecaligo7819]

I spotted for the first time how Marco uses ink from refills for One4All markers in his airbrush work. So I impulse bought a few of them and I must say....these inks are amazing! The coverage is so insane compared to the colours of Daler and Rowney I own. So thanks for this !

[@drrhino_]

gorgeous work as always, learn something new every time.

[@lmaia88]

Thank you for sharing! I'm feeling so inspired by your video!

[@robinwesterlund5563]

I am amazed every time i watch one of your videos. I so want to get a airbrush and play around with it :D Also keep up the great work. And please never stop sharing, love every video along with your input as a painter. I learn so much from it!

[@MsBlood01]

More mini fancy baces please, if I could have any dream scene painted it would be Jarrod and Sara at the ball from the movie labryth

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

🤩🤩🤩💯

[@andreaannibale1465]

Sei un grandissimo maestro per me. Grazie del lavoro che fai

[@BadgerLovingFluffster]

That is astonishing. There were so many stages throughout the process where you have called it done and it would have been an excellent paint job... and then you kept taking it to another level. Interesting process and great work

[@Jamgeoso]

Yeah, this is one of the best things I've learned from Marco's videos. Just push a little further to get those better results. That's why it's great he shows his process so thoroughly!

[@DS_painting]

Great tutorial! Yes, another video focused on micro dioramas would be awesome!

[@Moxiltws]

I'm glad you shared this video before I start painting my Be'lakor miniature. I will copy this process to paint it! 😈

[@bastianniemand7460]

Holy Beastman! One day i swear i will feel confident enough to try this kind of night and fire scene! One day..... surely 😊

[@WhatsleftofTom]

Micro dioramas are awesome! Maybe a cyberpunk one? I feel like you could do some really interesting cyberpunk stuff with how good you are at dramatic lighting

[@metajock]

Thank you! I've got a cyber cat that my wife wants me to do, and this helped get the red glow from the volcanic field base its on. Good job!!!

[@redgreenbluehex]

Love this. Thanks for sharing and having fun with it. 🎉

[@klug5916]

Amazing and fun, as usual... I expect no less from you now!

[@el1madridista]

You inspire me tremendously!! In every video, I learn something, try it out, get better, AND have more fun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 👏

[@CaptainSpalding23]

Amazing. True art. Love your content. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@Jamgeoso]

Wow, amazing explanation of a fantastic piece! I'd absolutely love to see more mini dioramas. A Duel scene would be great to see!

[@mtmroc]

More of these micro dioramas please

[@Deodat.]

Fantastic job!

[@DanielVisOneCade]

I would very much like you to produce some more content on your process and well thoughts on general on micro dioramas/vignettes. I know alot of people like myself grew up looking at the White Dwarfs and the work of the Eavy Metal team or Golden Demon events but what really stood out for me was those piece's that instantly told a story without a word.

[@markoseldo2007]

would love to see your take on a tyranid diorama piece!

[@craftworldbononia]

Great job! If you could more diorama video and explain the process and the logic behind it would be awesome

[@tomdanvers]

A fantastic video as always Marco. I'd love to see your take on the Gellerpox Infected. I'm about to embark on painting them using everything I've learnt on your channel!

[@thealgorerhythm9379]

Glad you made great use of our horrible Irish summer! Thanks for sharing this amazing piece, Marco🎉

[@iangagne913]

Amazing, complex and yet so simply explained. Thanks Marco !

[@matttozzi9540]

Love it! I'm so excited to see you paint some MCP!

[@domcisme]

I could listen to you talk theory for years and years. so cool!

[@ericlang7408]

This is such a fantastic video, full of super cool ideas! Thank you!

[@pbkobold]

Beautiful. Grateful to see your work, but always feel free to paint for yourself! I love that you have a bench grinder stashed. Also really cool to see all the paint and tools from the "artist" world. I always wonder if the hobby ones are "better" so it's really reassuring to see you mix them.

[@Wijkert]

Very cool to see your proces of making the plinth and basing. Would definitely be interested in seeing more of that! You said on one stream that you haven't put a lot of time on your basing you did for video's, because you tend to keep them simple. Sounds like something you could expand on. Diorama building could be interesting for streams (or video's) as well.

[@yoyoyo9669]

i dont think i will ever be able to paint like this but i sure like watching you create something so profound!

[@RisingApe]

Really enjoyed this, thanks 🙏

[@ericlang7408]

I do love micro dioramas! I am really glad you detailed how you worked on the plinth and how you created the scene! Would love to see more in the future!!

[@riccardonovello]

Lo guarderò sicuramente 👍

[@grlmgor]

Fantastic paint job

[@Valandar2]

The Twitch channel is AWESOME. And, yes, he is just as cheerful and friendly on stream as he is in the videos. :D

[@philgee486]

See you on Twitch when I get back from Scotland Marco! This was another of your extreme studies of the power of storytelling light. I think I even prefer it to your angel.

[@Mikester88]

Lovely work as always Marco! I would love to see you tackle some dioramas, i just made my first mini diorama and took a lot of inspiration from you to help with the painting. Not perfect but learned alot on the way!

[@enricoflorio3181]

Pazzesco, incredibile.. un piacere guardarti mentre dipingi.

[@Vorpal_Wit]

I would love to see a mini diorama set in an dark hall, with the main light source being muzzle-flash from guns, and maybe some dim emergency lighting in small pools of contrasting color.

[@andersolsson1659]

With your amazing work with light and shadows I would love to see a skaven-sewer mini diorama :) Thank you for an other great view!

[@sergei5879]

Would be cool to have something like ork flash gitz - ton of details and ton of character. Awesome paint job as always!

[@user-bf7gv9dv2f]

Awesome!

[@bargerboss]

What an amazing scene, love the setting and the emotion it evokes!! ❤‍🔥 Also made me curious how it would look if it were Morrslieb sick green light that shone from above

[@turtleandbear1179]

i love this diorama!

[@PigeonCrash]

This is one of my favorite paint jobs from you. Amazing work man.

[@pontiac6548]

Thanks for this Marco. I've been pondering how to approach a minidio of a 70's Batman standing on a rooftop illuminated by moonlight and streetlight. Obviously, I will have less intense yellow from below than your model (although the finished result looks great) but for the moonlight effect I will be closely following what you did. Now it's time to expand the paint collection with more contrast/speed paints!

[@bartek_ewertowski]

Love it Marco! Hope you paint more Beastmen soon :)

[@nicholasgiuntoli8149]

That was super inspiring and made me want to try the process on my miniatures… I have a question that maybe could give you an idea for another video: I saw you using Acrylic Gouaches, why did you prefer them over regular acrylic colors or other kind of paints? It would be nice to have a video dedicated to that kind of paint since almost nobody in the world of miniature painting did that!

[@dmacara76]

It's time for a Blood Bowl team, Marco!

[@radiationcow]

What are the base woodworking tools you'd recommend for making your own plinths? A friend has given me tons of pine blocks, but I have nothing except a handsaw and sanding paper.

[@ClaptrapRapture]

That shit is nuts, hot damn.

[@farnball1]

Hello Marco. Is there any chance for you to organize some painting workshops in Amsterdam?

[@236wargaming4]

11:52 ME: I'm worried about the saturation... [Five seconds later] MARCO: I totally don't care about saturation at this point... 😅 Thanks for another awesome video, fella! Amazing work! 👍

[@corkey2077]

I would love to see how you paint something like the new Knight Lancer I find the large flat areas quite a challenge to make them look interesting

[@verigone2677]

man, I am dense, I just realized that you paint models the way I paint a canvas... I lay out my image with charcoals and pastels, then paint over it with highly thinned paint

[@jpf338]

D: I Marco lived in Italy. Where I'm planing to move in the future, was thinking I could some of Marco's classes. Damm.

[@janofe2232]

Nice to see what one can do with a Lidl jig-saw :)

[@tifffelske]

Loved it!❤

[@LemanoftheRussVI]

Micro dioramas would be awesome to see

[@leonnilsson1304]

woooooooow im speachless....

[@ArkAngel_45]

It would be cool to create a 40k mini diorama that has some Guardsmen and Sisters of Battle painted in a vertical format like you were trying to give the impression of a scene from a tapestry or stained glass window.

[@samcurran1093]

fascinating use of contrast paints over the airbrushing. what's the value of contrast paints over mixing your own colors from a set of inks? I ask because contrast paints are rather expensive 😬

[@MaterialSquid]

fantastic

[@kombatwombat6579]

Dude, I also think of you as my painting buddy. Just so you know.

[@torn.blue.sky101]

I don't know why, but i'm crying with laughter at "Dinner Victims" 🤣

[@geofffoden9245]

when airbrushing with the white ink, are you also thinning it, or direct from the bottle?

[@NinetaleHobbies]

I'd love to see ya do something from Knucklebones

[@harrymcgill9393]

I love your videos!

[@DingoPaints]

Your are fantastic!

[@youbretaw]

Hey, Marco. I really enjoy your tutorial videos. You’re better with my language than most Brits! I’m a military modeller and I like to bring some understated drama to my aircraft and military scenes-your techniques push me to try new things, which is great. I now use oils a lot thanks to you. So thanks for the great work and inspiration! I have a trivial question, please? I’m an old guy and I do the ‘small work’ under a large lighted magnifying glass. I find it better than goggles. Problem is that the butt end of paint brushes sometimes knock against the lens and jog my work. Is there a reason that the handles are so long? Will I lose something if I cut them down to maybe the length of a pencil? I’m afraid to try it with my brushes!

[@DareToWonder]

i also live in Ireland, whats your go to art shop in Dublin?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Evans (they have everything!!!) and Universal (now they have the entire Schmincke line!) are definitely the top! 😉

[@daniellof453]

Ah, man. Missed the premiere, I was having to much fun painting a hobgoblin.

[@MrDangadave]

Marco how are you using contrast paints over the white ink? Are you spraying a varnish barrier? Every time I use contrast over inks the inks start to wash off. I've ruined so many models by doing this step.... Please help...😢

[@DareToWonder]

i think i know that park... might be Phoenix Park

[@jeffhildenbrand9796]

Hey Marco! Question for you. Have you ever tried to make a chromatic black with contract/speed paints? I've just recently wondered if it's even possible but it seems like they would be a good candidate conceptually anyways.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Great work! I wanted to ask you how would you go about painting a model of something that shifts colors? I am working on a character whose color scheme is inspired by a cephalopod.

[@toomanyinterests2271]

I have a quick question in regards to paints. The only real space I have for painting is in the room I sleep, I know that Oil and Enamel paints are extremely dangerous and release dangerous fumes however does this also apply to acrylic paints used for miniature painting including Kimera, Warcolors and Scale 75 artist colours? I also live with someone with Copd, that results in breathing problems.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Hi! Don't worry, acrylics are 10000% absolutely safe from that point of view!

[@toomanyinterests2271]

Thanks puts my mind at ease

[@MrAlexxx91]

Bel video :) volevo sapere se usi le stesse pitture che usi per le miniature piccole per dipingere oggetti grandi come questo. Mi spiego meglio: c'è qualche pittura più economica indicata per dipingere oggetti grandi tipo miniature 75mm+ o diorami? Pensavo che, se utilizzo le solite pitture da 18mm per dipingere, inizia a diventare costoso. Volevo solo una tua opinione a riguardo e se hai qualche soluzione più economica che da comunque un ottimo risultato. Grazie in anticipo!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@MrAlexxx91 Grazie mille! Personalmente uso gli stessi prodotti per tutte le diverse scale (lavoro spesso in 75mm+ per pezzi da display e busti); purtroppo andando sull'economico inevitabilmente cala la qualità e aumentano i problemi (e un 75 alla fine non richiede troppo colore in più). Per basi, scenici e le parti meno "precise"/voluminose di un diorama si può tranquillamente andare su acrilici cheap da crafting/scuola, ma per le parti importanti del pezzo dei buoni colori aiutano davvero tanto

[@MrAlexxx91]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM gentilissimo. Grazie per la celere risposta! Mi aspettano 21 miniature di taglia enorme/mastodontica e sono preoccupato di finire velocemente i colori essendo abituato a dipingere miniature di D&D taglia 25mm o 50mm massimo. Gentilissimo, continua così :)

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@MrAlexxx91 In questi casi tendo a fare i passaggi di base come priming, ombre e una/due luci generali (quelli che davvero usano quantità' di colore importanti) con le bombolette! Potrebbe essere la soluzione che cerchi per velocizzare e risparmiare un po'
