Bro! im loving Marco, hes the best mini painter ive watched, he seems to look at mini painting in such a different but more understanding way.

I can’t get my head around this one, I’m watching you putting the paint on then wiping it off and in no time at all it’s absolutely stunning. I can’t understand it.

Marco I love how you are breaking the unspoken rules of miniature painting showcasing different mediums. After oils and spray-cans I am almost expecting you to drop a "watercolor/gouache painting for miniatures" anytime now!

Hello I am a fairly recent subscriber here but i was delighted to see this video. I learnt to paint in the 1990's and this is exactly the method i have always used. Acrylics were fairly new and were only considered good for undercoats back then. I still have and use my original set of windsor and Newton paints. I have about 20 tubes and have never needed more and won't for years to come. On my pallet i only put dots of paint with a wooden toothpick this is often enough but not always. So they are also the most economic paints available. And yes, i have painted hundreds of minis, though mostly in 54mm not for wargaming. Realy enjoying your work. All the best.

Thank you, interesting. I've bought my oil paints, haven't tried yet. I'll try the toothpick method for sure.

No idea where you got the idea acrylic paints were terrible even in the late 90’s?!? I’m baffled by that, professional artists have been using high quality acrylic paints for decades… they have certainly become much easier to use in recent years and even cheaper acrylics work very well where as in the past you had to spend a pretty decent amount to get any acrylic of decent quality. My mom has been an acrylic artist who works on board, canvas, metal, and paper since the mid 70’s and her old work still looks great. I’m pretty sure one of the most respected galleries in Canada wouldn’t be exhibiting her work for the last 4/5 decades if her use of acrylics was seen as of poor quality and unprofessional. She does say they are harder to work with, but she prefers the speed at which acrylics allow one to work as a huge benefit…But acrylics sure are less fussy then they used to be that’s for sure! So I’m just a bit confused by your comment… maybe you could clarify just in case I’m misunderstanding something here…

It's so refreshing to see a miniature painter that does something different than just citadel paints, base coat+wash+highlights. You've inspired me (a complete noob) to start blending my own mixes (which is really useful since I don't own many paints) and maybe trying out oils in the future. Thanks!

I'm a pretty new painter as well and honestly I wonder if it wouldn't have been easier to start with oils, they just make more intuitive sense in a way. If nothing else you could at least get a black or dark brown color and try an oil wash instead of a regular acrylic wash. They really add depth to the models.

Every day is a new lesson from you once again well done!

As someone who has just started on this oil painting minis journey, I'd say don't worry about the cost of materials. 30 UK pounds bought me ten 37ml tubes of winton oil paint (from which basically any shade could be created by mixing) and a bottle of artist's odour free spirit (and hardware store spirit is apparently fine, so I overspent). Buying a certain well know brand of acrylics, the same amount of money wouldn't even get you five 12ml pots. Now, I just have to learn to paint! 😆 Your vids are great, you're so happy. Is it something in the fumes? 😉

I got you covered! It's a bit old, but the info holds up ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsWgq9KbyZ3PoGw.htmlsi=PM-hzVlr-K-U2CCy Start with a super essential selection of high quality, art store oils (cyan, magenta, primary yellow, black and white, and you can mix everything else!) and see if you like the medium! But, I totally agree, the real barrier for oils is more in the informational/where to begin stage than the actual complexity of the oil process

And since now you are in the 3d printing.... bro.... you NEED TO apply to "Lost Kingdom Miniatures" patreon to get the STL files... Their sculptures are absolutely fantastic. Im making space lizards at the moment (i kitbashed their lizardmen), but they also have tomb kings and more... the details etc... its at least GW level, if not above on some minis.
