Hey, I recently got into painting mini's (3D printed ones, but my friend is trying to recruit me to Warhammer) and I especially love your environmental, glow and shading videos + you have a really great way of explaining it all. Would you be able to do a video on woodlike surfaces, like chests or barriers or something similiar? Please keep doing what you are doing, you're awesome

This looks really good, thanks for sharing! One other thing I've seen done that I think looks really good is tinting the recesses of the snow in shades of blue using thin washes. I first saw it on the channel the Painting Baron. Have been trying to figure out the right ratio/technique with some cheaper paints - planning a snow board, so want to avoid GW prices. Also, depending on the snow products you use and the paints you use on the base, it can be a good idea to varnish before putting any snow on. I've left some bases to dry for days, put one of my snow concoctions on, come back later and it looks like the paint from the ground has stained the snow from the inside out.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching The blue tint is a cool idea, I’ll give it a go for sure 👍 As for having the surface paint stain the snow, I’ve not had that happen before with the products I use, but it makes sense it could be a risk if the water in the PVA reactivates the paint underneath. Something for people to be aware of, thanks for sharing 👍

@-moongorilla- 5 ай бұрын

You could potentially even take advantage of the staining thing to do the blue tint - just put down a bit of a blue wash/contrast where you're going to put the snow, let it half dry and then slap the snow on top. Might make it easier to avoid overdoing it on the top. I'm gonna have to try that now!

Love how this turned out, really find all your guides so helpful I know you did a grassy base but a dense forest or some undergrowth around ruins would be amazing to see and help a lot!

Great tips in this, thanks for sharing. I made my own snow effect using matte medium and bicarbonate of soda.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 5 ай бұрын

Thanks man Bicarbonate of soda is good and the perfect scale. The only thing I’ve found with it, is it can yellow over time. Have you found this?

You mentioned the airbrush at the start, and I was wondering if as a sort of subsection on thinning you might have any thoughts on air pressure and how it relates to the viscosity and what you should be setting your regulator to. I use the airbrush a lot since I tend to do more scale armor than miniatures, and the airbrush finish is amazing on flat panels of armor (which you got a lot of on tanks, planes, and mechs). Your paint thinning video is the thing that demystified thinning to me after hearing years of 'skim milk consistency' without really knowing why and I was hoping you might have similar insights on air pressure--knowing 'why' you do something really makes it easier to do in practice.

Hey ! I just found your channel, at the same time as I'm getting back to painting minis. I was looking to paint some very old models that have a shit ton of paint on them. I want to strip them as I know mu painting has improved a lot since then. I was wondering if you are planning to make a comprehensive video about stripping minis and maybe whole armies ?

Curious why you used nuln oil instead of Agrax earth shade?

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 5 ай бұрын

Honestly, you could use either or. I like to use nuln oil as it gives a more desaturated end result and the darker finish contrasts better against the bright snow. It also tied in with the darker tones of my army.

i find drybrushing so hard to get down pat. going to start practicing on a bunch of crisis suits, as i think doing the edge highlights with drybrush will go quickly and look quite alright.

@bricktop2938 5 ай бұрын

Byron wouldn't be impressed with your drybrushing technique 😅

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides 5 ай бұрын

Haha! Shhh! 🤫 Actually, the use of paper towel in this instance is on purpose, because I want a chalkier, stone like finish. Rather than the silky smooth Artis Opus drybrushing. I will do a fundamentals video on drybrushing and include the ultimate method for sure 👍
