That's so kinf! You keep on sharing them, and i'll keep on making them! We'll climb the ladder eventually. Thank you so much for your support.

@@TesseractMinis I'll do. Thank you so much for your afford. And feedback wise, imo the music is a tiny touch too loud.

On a quest for non-chalky purple this week, and this is a great video for it! Love love love that blue in the mix.

Great tips from a handomse voice and some soothing music. What a guy!

[@monophthalmus2139]

Very helpful. Thank you. I like how you do not have a lot of useless fluff like other videos do.

[@TheNoobPainter]

Very nice. It was good to be able to see the brush strokes you were doing in this video. Very helpful.

[@TesseractMinis]

Thanks! Since my style relies so much on glazing, I do think it's important to show the detail of how to apply the paint. Appreciate your comment!

[@Roll1ToExplode]

A fantastic tutorial! :) I typically struggle a bit with purples as I get lighter, the chalkiness does become a real problem. This has helped a lot, thanks!

[@TesseractMinis]

Thank you thank you ❤️ be sure to show me your results if you try this method!

Super video as always man. Nice and concise!

That looks awesome. Great tutorial man

Why did the varnish go chalky but?

[@TesseractMinis]

Thanks Luke, glad you like it! It's just a thing matte varnish can do sometimes if there's underlying moisture in the paint layers, when it goes on. It's my own silly fault for jumping on the varnish too quick. However, as shown, it's fixable!

Thank you for the tut! Really helpful

I'm new to the hobby hope you can explain this to me! In the third step you say "we are gonna use out base purple but as a glaze now" what does that mean? Did you mix the purple with some more water or did you add something to it to make it a glaze? For someone new it sounds like you pull out some magic trick and i have no idea how you accomplish it.

[@TesseractMinis]

Absolutely - a glaze is a very thinned paint, which you load into the brush very lightly and build up in lots of transparent layers. You can absolutely make a glaze just with paint and water, or you can buy special glaze mediums.

[@dziku2222]

Hey man, how do you paint so your strokes of lighter paint are not visible? When I'm doing steps like 6:07 there are always ugly brighter lines visible from a kilometer on my models, and yours is fully smooth like if it was a drybrushing. What's up with that?

[@TesseractMinis]

It's usually just a thinning issue if you're having this problem. Most likely you need to thin the paint more and apply it in fast, gentle strokes.

[@dziku2222]

@@TesseractMinis Thanks for an answer. I always thin my paints, but possibly I do it in a wrong way. I usually mix it with water until it's almost running on the model. I've also tried mixing it up with an airbrush thinner, results are a bit better, but lines are still very clearly visible.

[@jonny_apocalypseii1051]

Gonna try this on my galadhrim

[@swordwind_minis3821]

Awesome video! Will be trying this on some Dark Elves. Do you use mediums to thin your paint? If so which ones?

[@TesseractMinis]

I use a product which I make and sell myself, called Painters Milk. You can find us on Facebook by searching for The Painter's Bakery
