[@philgee486]

Keep watching, there's so much here to learn and work at it's scary. I've watched an awful lot of "how to paint a..." vids without ever understanding WHY it builds contrast or seperation the other 3 different ways Lot of personal talent and understanding with a gift for explaining it

[@rossgruenberg9700]

no kidding. this is 100% how i'm going to get better at painting, by watching better painters than me!!

[@elijahhaase5058]

Amazing! The glowing light effect has always been something I have avoided for fear of messing up cause I don't know the technique. This really inspires me to look through my unpainted 40k models to see if any of them have poses that would work for trying to do a glowing effect on them based off these steps!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Awesome!!! I love when inspiration flows like this 😊

[@ralex3697]

So amazingly talented, completely out of my league Perfect understanding of color

Just in time for my current project. And we’re Citadel figure holder twinsies! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@HaDeZs1]

Marco, this is amazing as always both in skill and the tutorial’s depth 👍 One thing you might want to think of is a good side by side for a before and after a highlight or a step. It would have been nice to see a side by side of your after airbrush highlight over your colored and then when you went back in to push the model further to show how different they were. Of course, it’s already an amazing video in depth with tons of information :) plus your super fun to listen to. So relaxing. I want to paint the moment I hear your voice.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

[@DarioPattarini]

Spettacolare!! Se posso dire una cosa, i salti tra i passaggi sono davvero forti per chi è alle prime armi. Ciò non toglie l'estrema qualità di questo tutorial

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Grazie mille! Sembrano in effetti un po' bruschi perché di tutto il girato ho tenuto solo il lavoro sulle luci per avere solo un argomento nel video e tagliando il resto. E' stato un po' un azzardo/esperimento registrare il "lavoro vero" perché in realtà al tavolo non si fanno passaggi belli definiti, ma si salta continuamente da una cosa all'altra e avanti indietro. Decisamente da tenere a mente per i prossimi!

Thanks! It's a very complex and interesting situation when two lights meet; you have the two osl, the diffused light and the natural colours of the subject playing together. It's definitely something interesting for a video!

[@danielrichardhorvath3813]

Hi Marco! Outstanding work! Is it possible to do these without using airbrush and if so could you please show or spread some tips on how one can make the initial sketching and the multi-object lightings with brushwork only? Is it achieved by using multiple layers of diluted washes and glazes, or am I moving in an incorrect direction?

[@danielrichardhorvath3813]

I've just realized that you've done exactly that in one of your videos! Really looking forward to be trying all your techniques out!

[@rcorrea1567]

Bravísimo, bravísimo, bravísimo mi Hermano del Pincel! for me it is such a blissful moment In Time to watch you paint! I stopped everything and totally concentrates on your every words! You need to do at least two videos per week. These are two short! Please do at least two per week. My only regret is that you are so far away. I wish that I could take personal one-on-one classes with you. That I could pick your brains for all your fantastic skills! Well with that said, mi Hermano del Pincel, take care of yourself. I will keep patiently waiting for your next video for more inspiration and aspirations! Much admiration and respect Hermano del Pincel! Till next week! Ciao!!

[@rastamann2009]

That was an awesome tutorial! Thanks! I’d like to see you paint a squad or unit of regular rank and file models, to see how you would approach more “everyday” painting.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

I have a couple of videos like that about my Warcry warbands: 10 models on 5 hours 😉

[@rastamann2009]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Yes, I love those and they're the major inspiration for what I'll do with mine - I particularly love the paint scheme for the Iron Golems and have learned a lot about painting skin from you, but they're still skirmishing warbands and we tend to lavish more love into those given that they're the whole force, no? :) Would you paint a squad or a regiment for a whole army the same way? I guess you could since you get amazing results with a speed that for me is quite unattainable - your precision with the airbrush is dreamlike, and it will take me a long (years) time to get there (I will try though :))

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@rastamann2009 oooooooh ok ok understood! Yeah my process it's almost the same, maybe cutting some extra corner, but it's definitely something interesting for a video... Maybe putting the accent on the quantity of models to paint at the same time!

[@rastamann2009]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Another reason for my request is that many of the rank and file models like imperial guardsmen and ork boyz are simpler in detail than the current skirmish models that they do, so they must present different challenges, I think :) Putting the accent on the quantity of models is a great way to approach it as well, yes! Thanks

That is beautiful!! One question is lingering on my mind though: Are you darken your basecolours, before applying the light (to simulate night resp. darkness)? And if yes, with what?

[@L0ook4me]

Hey Marco A question: did you use oils (maybe a wash) before moving to the wet pallet? Thx so much for your work and help.

[@kurogiza]

Thank you Marco, clear and elegant video about a complex topic! Question: you used an extension of the sketch method, just instead of one light you add two? What I haven't seen is the first step of basic basecoating, so that the colored light interacts with the base colors of the objects. This is super helpful!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😊Thanks buddy!!! I used a fast sketch in the first step to give a quick representation of it's natural colours, the real important steps are when you start applying the lights working in transparency to naturally merge the tones

[@kurogiza]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM awesome, thank you!

GRANDEEEEE, fichissimo! Bravo.

[@somanythings9074]

Awesome job! 🤩

[@Chazzmingle]

This is outstanding again Marco, I look forward to your videos more than anything else on KZbin! A question for you. You mix matt varnish into the blue to reduce the shine, but is there a reason you don't just varnish the whole model at the end after your finish and unify the finish on the surfaces?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks a million 😁😁😁!!! I don't use varnish at the end for everything exactly because I don't want to unify the different finishes I have on the model; that's one important source of contrasts and visual interesting on the model and with a coat of varnish you loose everything!

[@Chazzmingle]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I had a feeling that might be the case, but it's so impressive that you are so aware of the finish of each product and medium when you use it. Is everything just somewhere between fully matt and fully gloss, or is there other types of finish to paints?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@Chazzmingle 😊 You have the satin option that's in the middle of the two extremes (usually varnishes comes in three formulations, Matt, satin and gloss); as example it's really good for skins that are a bit shiny because of their natural oils but not glossy

[@Mrclark1977]

Your videos rock man. Damn fine work, and it is greatly appreciated.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😍Thank you sooooo much!!!

[@filterdecay]

hey marco! Question. Between the airbrush and the brush work did you do a varnish to protect the inks from handling?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Hi! No, no varnish! Inks don't fear the brush and they are extremely strong when dry

[@raphsanta-santaminiatures978]

Grande Marco, un altro video di un altro mondo! Io purtroppo l'airbrush non ce l'ho, e per motivi di tempo (per imparare) non lo avrò. Una tecnica cosi è fattibile solo con il pennello? Una volta un video 100% pennello lo faresti? Un caro saluto dalla Svizzera. @santaminiatures

What are the settings you use on your airbrush and compressor when doing fine detail work like this?

[@plume78]

Great video as always! One question though: do you think the mini look different in person VS on the video. I am not sure if it is the camera you are using, but I have the feeling that the digital image is loosing some of the richness of the colors and transitions, making the result a little bit more dull.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks!!! Yeah recording there's some loss of saturation and general quality. There's a lot of stuff playing together that I'm still trying to balance; settings (white balance in particular), lights from the table and the window...

[@blitzme99]

Where did you get the little metal pouring trays. I have been mixing my paint in the airbrush this whole time and I never thought to mix it in a saucer

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM is that just with a super transparent black? 😊

Hey Marco, thanks for another amazing vid. Can you share a secret of w&n white? What for its there, taking that you have kimera white?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thanks!!! Sure 😊 I use it to have a different kind of white in the extreme highlights; it's am heavy body acrylic so it has a different consistency good for little dots with their own dimensionality and it's a bit satin/glossy so it creates extra visual interest with its natural shine
