I do this with digital art, often adding a layer filled with a single color then setting it to something like multiply or addition or whatever gives me the effect I want. It pulls the image together nicely and helps set that mod I'm going for. I might use this wash approach with a mini I'm planning on doing where the setting implied is a crystal cavern with underlighting from red and upper lighting in blue-purple. Choosing the wash color for the areas would help enhance the effect... though using blue for all of it would help tie the red areas in and add a cool tone to the shadows as often happens with the parts facing away from a warm light source. Thanks for the idea!

This can be done easier with an air brush. I use washes and inks(diluted), spraying them over the model and that will give you a nice filter(or 'tint' as I say). But using it like this is great for people who do not own an air brush. Awesome video!

I appreciate this. I've been painting/building for about 40 years < even did some commission work for a studio that has a YT channel> it has always been an intuitive thing for me, but there's always room to improve! Yeah, this will really help me... going to watch this several times- maybe drag out a mini and try it from the jump> Thank you for your help, Lyla -it matters. I also find your "mistakes were made" approach so refreshing, as it also helps to see things needing to be corrected, and to not become so frustrated when the intent isn't supported by my results. (not that mini painters are perfectionists, or anything, y'know....?) also I find your humor and the "kitteh inclusions" amusing. God bless< Thanks, again.

Washes are also a good way of limiting how much paint you need to buy. For example, I like to give a sense of volume by building light and shadow, but lack an airbrush. So I apply a general layer of wash, then build selective layers along undersides. I use the same wash for every part of the model (in my case, Seraphim Sepia). Not only do the subsequent layers darken the shadowed regions, eliminating the need to buy another colour (or more) for my dark tan, dark green, etc., but the initial coat over the entire model tints the entire thing - in this case, darker. Because my base colours are now lighter than the model, I can use them for highlighting! Suddenly, the entire model can be done with your base colours + one wash. (admittedly I push it a bit further - doing progressively more extreme highlights on, e.g., sharp edges or tips - but this can also be done in a paint-saving manner by grabbing a light, neutral colour, like an off white, and mixing more and more of it into your base colours on a palette - meaning you only need one more paint)

@Sturmensky that's a great idea! Thanks I like doing sharp highlights as well but I've been so inefficient with paint as well so I think I'm definitely bringing a few washes to my wishlist. Though I know now that I'll start using a wet pallete I'll be much better about not wasting paint
@Sturmensky
@Sturmensky 8 ай бұрын
@@danwizzle91 Glad to help! And really, any sort of palette is fine if it's a shorter time span. I use a wet palette myself - just wanted to specify "not in the bottle" because I don't know how much you paint, and I *have* had people mix their bottles after I don't specify that detail lol! Another nice thing about mixing colours when you highlight: it brings the paint job together more. If washes provide unifying tints and shadows, mixing a common colour for highlights adds a unifying light.

Hey Lyla I have a challenge/experiment for you, you being a very talented miniature painter this should be easy. My challenge : pick up a classic kind of Airfix or Revell military model of either 1/72 or 1/48 scale and make something that instead of being a nice artistic interpretation of a thing to make it as photo realistic as humanly possible. It seems to me that many a hobbyists are under the notion that photo realism is unattainable yet the classic modelists have been doing it for decades as what drew me personally into Warhammer 40k for example was my humble classic kind of modeling hobby, and while everything is fine and dandy with being super artsy and solving everything in almost van gogh-ish surreal contrasts overlorded by the color wheel and non metallic metal techniques

Paint (including ink) is all just pigment with differing amounts of medium, liquid, etc. Mini painting gets away with selling the same product twice since they don't use pigment/known names to label things. Artist paint labelled phthalo blue paint on the shelf next to phthalo blue wash would be laughed out of the store. Citadel are the worst at this - take for example yellow, a color that is notorious for its terrible coverage. Instead of labelling pots as opaque/transparent/semi transparent (this relates to the pigment) they sell yellow with terrible coverage for decades. And they do this in order to keep users within their paint ecosystem. Boggles the mind people still put up with them.

@joel6376 cost vs. convenience. 90% of "hobby" products are just for convenience and speed. That's not a criticism. It's not really a con. Anyone can learn at theory, sculpting, terrain building, anything. Or just buy things and make it fast and easy during the few hours they have a week.
@joel6376
@joel6376 8 ай бұрын
​@@iatebambismom The cost aspect is right, having paint work this way is in the manufacturers interest as they will sell more paint. They can cash in on trends as consumers finally notice that "hey they want single pigment colors" so GW roll out their new single pigment contrast line - a product that is an art standard, and have ridiculous fanfare to go along with this release. The yellow issue has been semi-addressed by GW by having "base" and other paint types, but in reality they just needed to go opaque/transparent/semi transparent and explain why. Their base yellow is still very iffy, but that is simply the nature of yellow. I agree that part of it is convenience, but everything else about color and paint mixing is hidden "outside" the hobby. The convienence is you can buy a paint and it will be roughly the same each time, making army painting easier. Because the colors used in mini painting are not the "traditional" colors (generally) it further locks users into the treadmill of buying these sausage paints. There is nothing convenient about breaking away from paint labelling standards and not labelling paint as transparent when it uses transparent pigment. Instead they group it in with others and the hobby ends up thinking that yellow has poor coverage (because it does) but they think that the paint is trash when the pigment is simply doing what it does. In fact it is quite weird they opted to do this since it makes them look incompetent at making paint - because the hobby doesn't understand this at all. Take for instance mixing complementary colors - this is used as a way to desaturate the mix in the hobby and this isn't touching on using warm/cool pigments and how that affects the outcome. Hobby paint desaturates when you mix in this manner because each "color" contains many pigments, typically when you mix more pigments this is what the outcome is (desaturated grey), so it makes sense that it does. So for hobby specific paint this is true. However in the real world when you mix complementary colors you do not desaturate them, provided they are decent quality (and even student paint is only a few pigments per color so it mixes fine). Instead you end up with a mix that is a vibrant colored mix of the two. It just doesn't go.. grey. There is a good painter (won golden daemons I believe) that has tutorials claiming that you mix in this manner to desaturate - going as far as to shit on the kimeria paint because it doesn't behave in the same way (it actually mixes and gives a vibrant result, which while not what he is used to is how paint is meant to work). Which is simply absurd. If I sound annoyed I am mildly. I painted as a kid/teen and then did not touch it for decades. When I jumped back in I bought a very limited number of vallejo primaries, thinking that this would allow me to mix as I were used to from watercolor. Incorrect! I get flat, horrible colors. The industry is set up to extract as much money as possible from its users. It is setup to be convenient but at the same time force purchasing of more paint as their paint simply does not mix well. It doesn't mix well because GW would lose customers if this was explained. I would love to get mass spectrometry of GW and other brands paint done, to find out exactly what is in each pot.

I understand why you didn't do much with the bottom or back of the model. However, this isn't something I can do myself. I have this urge to paint everything, especially something that has been built into the model (such as the leg wraps or the patches (?) on the material hanging down the front. It doesn't have to be very detailed but I think my model looks unfinished unless everything (including the base) is painted. Yes, this does take more time, but I prefer to take longer rather than be bothered by looking at "almost finished" models. Maybe it is just me.

Hey Lyla, Thanks for the amazing video. It’s an excellent idea and I’ll definitely will try it. In an unrelated note, there are two moments in the video with footage of you airbrushing and wearing your mask. I can see you’re using what seem to be 3M 6055 filters which give you A2 protection against any possible gases related to the painting work. That is an excellent choice. However, you are missing P2 (or even better P3) protection against airborne particles created by the paint atomization from the airbrush. I myself was in the same situation until relatively recently, when someone gave me this advice that I am now sharing with you. Add to your filters 5925 (for P2 protection) or 5035 (for P3 protection) 3M pads. To hold them in place on top of your filters, use a 3M holder K0501. All parts come together nicely and then you’ll have a complete A2 + P2 (or P3) protection. May your lungs serve you for as long as you need them. All the best and thanks again, Daniel

Mother color is the term Samuel L. Jackson uses when he's picking out crayons....

Thanks Lyla. Great video! I've been trying to work out how to get colours to feel more coherent together. One request though please - can you give a trigger warning if you're goig to use horror movie clips? I often watch with me daughters. I know lots of mini worlds are horror settings, but the dying nuclear holocaust victim was a bit too real. Thank you :)

This looks like a cool "nighttime" look. Can it be applied with lighter colors? Something closer to sunrise?

That's a Carrot Top miniature, so I'm pretty sure you need a jokero orange.

The shades are cool, mother color interesting concept. Though it would take every fiber of my being not to paint those boots.

Great informational video. Although I feel that naming citadels specifically feels like a promo video for GW when there are so many other good options that are much more affordable.

At the end of the video you said, "Tell me what you think" so here goes. First off, I absolutely love the majority of your videos. So know that what I'm about to say isn't meant to be mean in any way. You said in the video that people's eyes are drawn to bright and they will focus on that; so maybe I'm just weird. My eyes were immediately drawn to all the blue and all my brain could see was an unfinished model. I'm sorry. Like I said, I love your videos but for me this is a technique I'll likely never use.

Thats totally fine! This was more of speed paint; something that you want to get on the table but spend a little more time on. Personally, I would spend a bunch more time on it!

I would agree with everything Fnordathoth has stated, not to be mean-spirited. For me, it's an OCD thing. It would absolutely drive me bonkers to look at and not finish.

I appreciate the lesson. I have seen ninjon do a mother color episode and I think the mother color/filter idea is great. Please do another so we can see more.

I think that problem with this model isn't the technique and filters but the ratio of blue/and other colours in bottom half of the model. If she would use little bit less blue and let the other colours get there little bit more, the feeling from the model would be just fine and wouldn't feel like unfinished. I would like to see the difference of 30% less blue and 30% more colours of the materials. Btw thx for the video. Nice as always. We love it.

The theory was great. The painting and end result of the figure is horrible. I have seen you paint better than this. You rushed it, then stopped short. I am not trying to be a troll but this was bad.......
