Have you used Oil Washes a lot? What other effects do you use to get heavy Weathering? I have several other techniques i can show off if you are interested let me know!

I wouldn't say alot but I do enjoy using them when applicable. I've noticed at least with black that that there are several variations and it can matter depending on the look you're going for. I have Mars Black, lamp black and ivory black and each is a distinctive black. Lamp black for instance if you hadn't guessed gives a sooty look that almost appears to have a lil texture. Have you any experience with the oils that use water as a medium? I bought an ivory black in that but yet to have good excuse to experiment. I'll be adding you to hobby watch list. Last question how do you feel about acrylic gouache used on minis ?

@@jc7997aj I haven’t experimented a ton with other types of oil paints. I’ve used odorless thinner a decent amount but I definitely want to try more out they just offer a lot of subtle effects like you said that add a lot to minis. I have not used gouache but it’s definitely something on my list seems like may be some use in OSL effects. I appreciate the comment and that you enjoyed the video! Goal is to improve with every video!

Dude this paint job is insane 😂 I don't know Warhammer but this is awesome.

Thanks a ton!

I’m glad you explained the oil paint method. I see people so this in other videos, but it’s almost ingrained to modern mini-painting so it gets skipped over. Great video!

[@hobbyhermit]

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot. I totally understand so much of our hobby is assumed. Since oil washes were a big focal point of the video I wanted to make the process clear so glad to hear it worked out!
