[@samuelsanfratello4617]

I've used most of the contrast paints, mostly as heavy washes, in combination with traditional paints, love the results!

[@srsgoblin]

Contrast paints are amazing if you also use a lot of GW paints, as they color match the stuff from the regular pots. Because of their consistency, it's very easy to use them both as designed, or thinned a bit for an easy glaze.

The David Attenborough bit at the beginning was just stunning.

[@Winterydee]

First: You did a great job Miss Ciara. The look of your model at the end is awesome. Second: Almost all the Warhammer TV is painting either right from the pot or using a DRY Palette. However Miss Ciara is using a WET Palette, IMO this a far better way to use acrylics due to them drying so fast, but Mr. Oliver should have let you know that due to using the wet palette you should not be adding nearly as much water when thinning because of water also wicking up into the paint from the wet palette. Third: Miss Ciara, please always remember it's just paint. As long as you're putting on thin layers, if you do not like how it is turning out/turned out just put another thin coat or three with the colors you think will work the best. In a worst case scenario, that there are too many layers of paint and detail are being lost, you just ask Mr. Oliver about the fun world of striping painting and starting the whole painting thing over again, but with the knowledge of things you shouldn't do already learned.

[@rosetintedworld1928]

Always great to see another female wargamer/painter. Excellent work! 👍👍

[@MrDavidcoyan]

Jesus she is infuriatingly good for a beginner. FFS, I have painted for 15 years and still struggle with most of the skills she already seems to understand. More Ciara = More views, I'm certain. It's fun to watch someone learning the hobby from the beginning.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Im glad you enjoyed it! We are quite enjoying the little series on new hobbiests, it's interesting to hear the thoughts an opinions of someone who has no prior knowledge.. she also did an amazing job.. not jealous at all

[@TheAegisClaw]

There's a huge, HUGE benefit to have someone sitting with you teaching you techniques. My father was a historical Wargamer and taught me the principles of washes and drybrushing on my very first model (in the 80s, with enamels!). 4 years later I had a miniature in the Golden Demon finals.

[@danielblackmore220]

She is a great painter, her 3rd model is even better than my 100th. i do like the contrast paints, they were really good on my orlock gang.

[@UpNorthSoutherner]

Third model, comes out better than the vast majority of my hordes! Excellent job, Clara! Also, key hilarious moments (base as they may be), were mention of bum crack and more nipple discussion than all other painting videos combined, including a comparison with Duncan's :p Areolas seems a good name, haha! And definitely get some games in!

[@jeremygriffin620]

I was amused at her analyzing the bones, "What sort of animal were they?" I hope she had fun. Also, good sport on the intro.

[@malghoul398]

the opening is the most beautiful thing I've heard all week.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Haha, thanks! I had to pull in alot of favours to get Attenborough in 😅😅

[@Doughillman]

"If he always stands like that he's gonna get more sun on that leg." I laughed out loud. Well done Ciara.

[@hpvzchris]

Thank you both so much for this! She is so right: it is so scary to put the first little bit of paint on the model! These videos are amazing!!! It has inspired me to start painting and my wife was inspired too, so we are starting/learning to paint together! Love it! Thank you!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Ah that's amazing, it's great to hear of people getting into it. I know ciara enjoyed doing these and she has come on a long way in such a short time. Keep painting, and keep the wife painting.. Its fun to sit and chat, have a drink and paint some models. Keep your eyes peeled for more, ciara will be back soon. 😁

[@danielhiggins8697]

I think the problem you’re having is the fact you’re using a wet palette with contrast paint. Thinning it turns it into a wash/glaze.

[@ciara7458]

Yeah a few have said that now. Good to know for next time :)

[@danielhiggins8697]

Ciara Muldoon I’ve only just bought mine and I’m learning how they can over thin just regular paint. Also accidentally dropped water on top of the paper.

[@ahemka1]

@@ciara7458 Honestly i have the exact same issue with this specific paint straight from the pot, its almost identical to a seraphim sepia wash, barely more covering. And i put a steel bead into the pot to help but its still not as covering as the other contrast paints I own. Overall, i really feel that contrasts have very different coverage power, maybe even more than classic range.

[@jiffah]

I wish my 3rd model looked this nice. Good job Ciara!

[@colonel149th-dkok4]

I like Ciara, she is funny and did an excellent job on the painting! I do believe that she is a saint though because she had the patience to stick with it (or maybe it was the rum that helped).

[@ivangroznyuk]

It looks amazing! Good job, one thing though, I'm fairly certain the original video based coated the mini with Wraithbone not Greyseer. That would explain the difficulties Ciara had with the flesh tones.

[@Vancity3]

I've use contrast paints alot and honestly I barely use the medium. The best time to use it is when you have a dark colour you're wanting to thin down - the skin colour I always use straight from the pot and it looks great. No idea why they say in the GW video to thin it down so much!

[@TAP7a]

I wonder if using the wet pallette contributed to her over-watering-down problem - I've found that with the wet pallette and both Citadel and Vallejo paints you barely need to water them down once they're on. Mostly a moist brush is all I've needed, any further and it starts behaving weirdly

[@johnmackrory8306]

You might find it easier to hold the model with a hobby handle. Contrast paints in general do need a fair amount on your brush in order to get the desired effect. I don’t think the wet pallet helps as it thins an already thin paint.

One problem with trying to copy steps directly from a video is that you don't know where their color settings are. We also don't know how the video was lit, where the humidity was that day, etc. Getting paint consistency right is one of those things that takes a really long time to learn (and I know I still screw it up a lot), so it's normal to be frustrated with it. And for goodness sake why are you making her hold the model by the base? Get that poor woman a handle! The model turned out much better than any of my early efforts and I hate her a little now. :D

My contrast paints always work when I use them- but I also never thin them down

[@RandomTim84]

Could the issue with the first paint and coverage differential simply be due to your wet pallet vs Warhammer TV's dry pallet? Personally hate dry pallets BUT I do use one for contrast paint (which I find useful as a paint on the base / over flock, stone, sand etc.)
