Upgrading GW washes & Contrast paints techniques!

Old brush techniques we have forgotten and new tools still used way under their true potential: today I use them all to do what is usually done with an airbrush! You can find all the REAL TIME footage on my Patreon! ► / notjustmecha

[@theoadamsiv7844]

most valuable painting channel for me. i’m constantly rummaging through the different videos as all have specific and well explained concepts.

[@lucasthomas9184]

Most definitely. Every time I see someone on Reddit ask anything about airbrushing I recommend Marco's videos. Ive seen so many others, but none of them really helped. I started using mixing cups to thin my paints and a little drying retarder. I havent had a clog since

[@mtozzi92]

Favorite painting videos for me and it's not even close.

[@Llwyd42]

Facts my dude! Every video so far has been gold

[@78dentedhead]

@@lucasthomas9184 same, and also when ever any one asks about using oils (though for the life of me I can't get the hang of highlighting with oils, I've found oil washes pretty awesome). Marco's airbrushing advise has also helped me reduce clogs (I still get the occasional one, but far fewer than when i started out with in a few months ago)

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Drop a like to jumpstart the video in the algorithm and leave your questions in the live chat or here in the comments! See you at the premiere!!!

[@marezthethorn]

can i just make you my warlock patron to gain art skills? no?... was worth a try. have a nice day regardless :)

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@marezthethorn don't discard the possibility of a dark pact so quickly... 😜

[@flassadar]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I would sacrifice my entire backlog for your techniques but you would just burn through it in 4 day (it is just AoS Soul Wars, 40k Dark Imperium, Start Collecting: Dark Eldar and Light of Eltharion). So I won't even try :D But seriously: Since I don't have an airbrush and since I won't get it soon (I paint in the same room as my wife spends her time and I don't want to poison her with the paint particles) I am very curious about this video!

[@ultimapanzer]

Literally the only critique I have is that I feel like a really bright color on the goblin's eye would make the face read better. The style you went with here is really awesome and retro.

[@AlitarS]

You are a genius, just watching your videos is so inspiring as a newbie painter. Thank you for sharing your art and knowledge!

[@FUCKUTUBEFUCKGPLUS]

It's amazing how you have a new tecnique every video. Most mini painting channels struggle to give you new content, you keep throwing so much new stuff at me that I usually have to rewatch videos just to undestand. Thank you. I was wondering: would oil washes work/partially work in lieu of the acrylic washes? I'm thinking the big difference is the drying times (not too high for oil wash, but still not negligible in multiple applications), but perhaps a single oil wash before or after all the acrylics (or a more displaced application) might be interesting. Or would it not work, because oil stays more in the recesses and the "controlled staining" wouldn't function?

[@timwelch175]

The knowledge you drop always strikes me as paid patreon classes. You don't just show a technique, you always get right down to the science and feeling of the techniques. Love it. Always a pleasure Marco!

[@nekrataali]

This is a really cool model and I could see it being still painted as a dwarf. It would have a more fairy tale feel to it, similar to Snow White children's books. Also gives me serious Trudvang Chronicles vibes...would love to see Marco paint an entire party and some enemies for that game!

[@jasoncoleman1499]

This video reminds me of the mini painter Juan Hidalgo. He uses a similar transparency build up. He doesn’t explain values, volume and temperature like you do though.

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

These are amazing techniques! Thank you for sharing : )

[@sadohenker]

I drybush before and after shading. Better results. As always great video and great work.

[@stevewagstaff7250]

I've been painting like this for a while. These days I use vallejo washes and then go over that with Pro-acryl transparents. Now the pro-acryl transparent line has a white and black you can mix so many colours. I love how the colour of the wash really impacts the way the transparent layers look on top of it. I do also give a highlight drybrush to help give that pop through the transparent layers. Then highlight these after. Great to see someone highlighting this kind of work!

[@Night_Bacon]

Sweet. Will keep an eye out for that white!

[@casualdungeoneer]

Thank you for mentioning the Pro-acryl transparents! I’ve bought the Vallejo transparents on a whim, but found myself wishing I had a good transparent white and black.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Hahahaha you still made a great investment 😉! The workflow with washes gives you at the same time general values and sharp details so the model looks more refined and advanced in the process but it obviously takes more time and control and you can't count on the "automatic" rendering of volumes of the spray

[@GiuseppeColaneri7]

this is soooooooooo inspiring! Thanks a lot Marco!

[@dddmmm21]

This is basically my routine with one key difference. I undershade it as you did and then I use CPs and Inks to color it. But because I am usually in a hurry and I am mostly speed painting board game minis, after the all the base coloring is done I do not highlight them as you did. Instead I lightly drybrush it again with white, just going for the highest spots and then I lightly re-apply the CPs and Inks, perhaps I bit more diluted, just to recolor those top highlights. It wont look as fantastic as yours, but it is great compromise if you want fast!

[@FrikisviajerosGC]

That's exactly what I was thinking. His highlighting work is top notch but I think with this technique and half the commitment in the final hightlinting you can reach a tabletop very good standard.

[@Dmitry_Solid]

In this video, as always, everything is wonderful 👍 👍 👍 An approach to work, an unusual and interesting technique, a fresh look at familiar things)))

[@PedroSantos-sg9gz]

Love to see you painting. Its too hard for me to replicate, too advanced but i love to watch. Thank you

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

[@jherazob]

Everything boils down to your astounding grasp of color and all those concepts, once you have that I bet you can achieve the same results with cheap craft paints and a ratty sponge. To the rest of us that don't have said grasp, it kinda feels like magic, even as we see it happen with explanations.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Well, that's a huge generalisation based only on your experience. There are many intermediate and advanced painters that don't consider this magic, but just a new idea to try. Plus even if you are a beginner and you can't use this now it's still a bunch of new knowledge able to enrich your understanding of painting and in the worst case scenario, something inspiring to aspire to...

[@jherazob]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM No, no, don't misunderstand me, I wasn't saying your explanations aren't good, but that this makes me realize just how little I know, I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, and you very damn clearly do, and it shows, freaking wizardry! :)

Transparents are very fun! Way more versatile than you'd expect. Reaper has some great ones called "clears" too if you can get them. Very nice consistency like the rest of their line, and dry matte.

I contrast sono uno strumento, il risultato dipende dal modo in cui li usi e dalla tua bravura. Guarda pure il canale di Juan Hidalgo, è un altro che cerca di raggiungere il più alto standard possibile usando contrast e lumeggiature come ha ha fatto qui il Maestro Frisoni. Maestro non ci abbandonare mai ❤️

[@KelRiever]

So, brilliant. My only complaint is that for the detail you are providing with this miniature, it strikes me that his axes are sort of clean. Now, maybe he came across the slain, brain opened oger/whatever and pretended he slew it. But I imagine that's a hard jump of immersion, and a bit (not insane amounts, or who knows maybe?) of splatter would go a long way to putting a final touch on this great piece.

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

I agree, but this is a video about clean, smooth painting and I didn't want to give the impression of hiding something under blood, splatters or weathering ;)

Oh yeah they are definitely best suited for this kind of overlapped transparencies, 99% of time without the need of extra dilution! Here I used Contrast paints just because they are more diffused and I needed a bit of extra saturation for the comic vibe
