Layering is perhaps the most important miniature painting technique. In this tutorial I feature Gloomspite Gitz mini from Warhammer Age of Sigmar to show you how I approach layering so you can do it as well!

@@Zumikito well, with thin layers, I can gradually paint a model while I wait. They have some great high-powered lights here in the hospital.

Great vid. Thought I'd share a little tip for those who are approaching this. Don't rely on white to create lighter shades. Experiment with other colours with a higher brightness. For example, a brighter yellow/orange gives a "warm" finish to your highlight, good for organic stuff. A bright "icy" blue gives a cold light, which is good for dead or non-organic minis. White tends to give a super highlight, but also washes the colour out. You'll end up with a pastel colour type finish.

You are 100% correct, there is basically no white used for the NMM - the brightest spots are painted with pastel green from AK Interactive.

Thank you for this. It's the best explanation on paints I've seen and clears up a lot of things for me. My biggest problem was not knowing and controlling the thickness of my paint. Now I'm learning to thin it much better and this helps me know how much for what task. Awesome!

Turns out your key to miniature painting fits exactly in my lock to miniature painting. Been practicing glazing almost exclusively, and it's really been helping me out in the other aspects of painting I'd been having a few lingering hang-ups with. Funny how a little step outside of your bubble opens you up to a whole new level of skill sets, if you're willing to put in the time. Thanks for the uploads as always, and enjoy your week.

Thanks for these helpful painting tutorials. I've recently started painting minis ( about 50 or so models painted ) and I have really appreciated your teaching style and encouragement to explore your own style. I just finished painting a marshcrawla sloggoth with a two tone skin and using this technique got exactly the natural translation I was looking for. Keep up the good stuff!

Very well shown with that colurs an how to lighten up smaller and smaller areas. Wish i know this when i started painting. Im not the fan of buying glorified products but i found it easier for me to thin then paints with some medium. With water its not so homogenous (even paints from the same brand work differently in combination with water). And with the medium it behaves like paint but less opaque.

Patience. The key word here. I watched tons of videos before I started painting (new to the hobby). Looked "easy". Thing is... I get bored. Fast. Painting is not for me. Still love to watch videos tho! I've lowered my expectations, not in my skill as a painter, but what I can manage to pull of before my brain gives up :D I try to put some effort in to my key figures tho. Btw. love your vids :)

How do I do it on a figure with detailed texture? I'm trying to paint a dinosaur I modeled and printed, it has scales that are mostly under 1mm wide. Whenever paint is thinned even a bit, it's being attracted to the crevices and until I paint enough layers do cover the peaks, the crevices are barely visible.
